Why verification matters
Filing a return is only half the job — it becomes valid only when verified. You must e-verify (or post the signed ITR-V) within 30 days of filing. Miss the window and the return is treated as not filed, which can mean a late return and lost benefits.
The ways to verify
The fastest is the Aadhaar OTP (to your Aadhaar-linked mobile). You can also use net banking, an EVC generated through your bank or demat account, or a digital signature. As a last resort, send the signed ITR-V by ordinary post to the CPC in Bengaluru. Confirm the current 30-day limit, which has changed over time.
A worked example
Example: you file on 20 July and e-verify the same day with an Aadhaar OTP — done in a minute, and your return enters processing. If you forget, a reminder arrives; verify before the 30 days lapse to avoid your on-time return becoming a belated one. Refunds are only issued after verification. Our team verifies as part of filing for you.
