E-verification is the final step in the ITR filing process. It confirms that the taxpayer has filed the return, making it valid. Once e-verified, only then the income tax department processes the tax return in batches. You must e-verify your ITR within 30 days of filing. If not, the ITR will be considered invalid.
Steps to e-verify your tax return
- Navigate to File > E-verify

- Choose your preferred method for e-verifying — Aadhaar OTP or ITD registered mobile number

- Enter the OTP sent to the Aadhaar registered mobile number and proceed

- Your ITR will be successfully e-verified

Once e-verified, you can track the status of your ITR using this tool.
