E-Verification of ITR

As a responsible taxpayer, it is essential for an individual to file Income Tax Return (ITR). Once the ITR is filed, the next step that he/she should take is to verify the filed returns. This step is essential because the Income Tax Department processes the application only after verification of the ITR. Generally, the verification of ITR is done through the download of the ‘Income Tax Return – Verification' form, signing it, and sending it to the ‘Central Processing Centre (CPC)’ of Income Tax Department.

However, in an attempt of paperless income tax filing, the Government of India has introduced e-verification of ITR process.

There are different methods of e-verification ITR, which are mentioned below:

Different Methods to E-Verify the ITR

There are six ways through which an individual will be able to verify his/her ITR at the Online Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal. These ways are:

    • Net Banking Login
    • Mobile Phone Number and Email Id
    • Aadhar Card
    • Demat Account
    • Details of Bank Account
    • ATM Card (of some specific Banks)

In each of these methods, one needs to generate Electronic Verification Code (EVC). This generated code is utilized for verifying the return online.

EVC or Electronic Verification Code is an alphanumeric code of 10 digitals that is produced by the Income Tax Department to verify the identity of the person who is filing the ITR. In addition to this, EVC is effective for 72 hours from its generation time and is unique for every PAN card.

However, before verifying your ITR with EVC, it is recommended to note the below-mentioned points:

Points to Remember

    • The main objective of the Electronic Verification Code is to verify an individual’s identity who is filing the ITR.
    • One can utilize the EVC to verify ITR – 1 to ITR – 4.
    • The eligibility criteria to verify through the mobile phone number and email id are:
      • An individual has not requested for refund.
      • When the total income of an individual is not more than 5Lakh.
    • Electronic Verification Code is unique for PAN, thus there is only one EVC for one PAN card.
    • In this way, an individual can use only one EVC for validating one Tax Return only be it for revised return or for the original.

The list of banks that fall under the eligible banks for the purpose of e-verification of ITR is:
