To complete the return filing procedure, you must e-verify the ITR after it has been filed. According to the IRS, an ITR is considered invalid if it is not verified within the timeframe specified. The most easy and quick approach to validate your ITR is through e-Verification. On the e-Filing site, both registered and non-registered users can use the e-Verify service.


You can e-Verify your Income Tax Return through one of several methods. Digital Signature Certificate, Aadhaar OTP, Electronic Verification Code (using bank account / demat account), Electronic Verification Code (using Bank ATM - offline method), and Net Banking are all options for e-Verification.


If you have already submitted your ITR and want to e-verify it using Aadhaar OTP, make sure your mobile phone is linked to Aadhaar. Additionally, be certain that your PAN is connected to your Aadhaar number.


How to e-verify ITR through Aadhaar OTP:


Step 1: Visit https://www.incometax.gov.in to access your e-filing account.


Step 2: Under quick links, select the e-Verify Return option.


Step 3: Select I would want to verify using OTP on a mobile number registered with Aadhaar and click Continue on the e-Verify screen.


Step 4: Select the I agree to validate my Aadhaar Details checked on the Aadhaar OTP screen, then click Generate Aadhaar OTP.
