After filing your tax return online in India, it is crucial to e-verify the filed return to complete the process.
Step 1: Visit the official Income Tax e-Filing portal (www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in) and log in using your credentials. If you do not have an account, register as a new user to access the e-verification process.
Step 2: Once you have managed to log in, navigate to the "My Account" section or a similar option on the portal. This section provides various options related to your tax filing, including e-verification.
Step 3: In the "My Account" section, select the e-verification method that suits you best. The Income Tax Department provides multiple options for e-verification, including Electronic Verification Code (EVC) through net banking, Aadhaar OTP (One-Time Password), Electronic Verification through Demat Account, and Electronic Verification through Bank Account.
Step 4: Depending on the chosen method, follow the instructions provided on the portal to complete the e-verification process. This may involve entering the EVC received through net banking or Aadhaar OTP, providing necessary details for verification through Demat Account or Bank Account, or any other specified procedure.
Step 5: After successfully completing the e-verification process, you will receive a confirmation message or notification on the portal. This confirms that your tax return has been e-verified and the filing process is complete.
E-verification is a crucial step in the tax filing process as it validates the authenticity of your filed tax return. It ensures that the tax authorities have received your return and acknowledges your compliance with the e-filing requirements.
