How to do e-verification?
> For e-verification, first go to the e-filing portal ‘incometax.gov.in’. After this, log in to your e-filing portal. Then click on the ‘e-file’ menu and select ‘Income Tax Return’.
> Now choose the ‘e-verify return’ option. Now, to generate OTP, choose the ‘Aadhaar OTP’ option and fill the OTP received on the mobile.
> Apart from this, the return can also be verified from the net banking account. Log in to your net banking account and select ‘e-verify income tax return’.
> You can also complete electronic verification through your pre-approved bank account, demat account or ATM.
If you have a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), you can also do the verification through it. After completing the verification process, a message will appear on the portal, confirming the success and giving a transaction ID. The Income Tax Department will also send a notification of this verification to your registered email.
> If you are unable to complete the verification process within 30 days, you will have to apply for ‘condonation of delay’. In this application, you will have to explain the reason for the delay. If the Income Tax Department accepts your condonation, your return will be considered verified.
