"What kind of risk exists with ITRV physical paper processing?"

The digital mode is much faster as well as easier than manual processing...

As per IT Website, Aadhar OTP Verification is unavailable temporarily and will be made available shortly.

Hope it will be true. Aadhar method is very easy.

We can buy sim with aadhar without even giving anything else and drama on ITR.

	Aadhar data got hacked in March month and some citizen's  profiles with bank accounts details, with mobile nos. etc. were available on net (may be for some payment); hence the change. Now we are even allowed to delink our bank/demate accounts from Aadhar......

Delinking Aadhaar from bank/demat? I dont think that option has been started by any bank. It has not even come in the news as yet. Below 14 Mar 2018 article:

Can I delink Aadhaar?

As of now, there is no provision or mechanism to delink the Aadhaar that is already linked with some service or welfare scheme.

There are banks who are not opening bank account without Aadhaar. I believe passport website does not even allow an applicant proceed ahead without an aadhaar number.

AY 17-18, I used digital mode Aadhaar OTP first time in life. Unfortunately, I revised my return couple of times. It took 9 months for the "so called faster" processing by CPC only to bring 21700 mismatch which is total of conveyance and profession tax.

Faster response submission was done, 2 months no action in Digital Era.

According to the "Compendium of Regulations, Circulars and Guidelines" for authentication of Aadhaar-based e-KYC, available on the official website of UIADI (Unique Identification Authority of India), an Aadhaar number holder is entitled to delink his biometric details shared with any authorised agency or service provider.

The compendium says, "The Aadhaar number holder may, at any time, revoke consent given to a KUA for storing his e-KYC data or for sharing it with third parties, and upon such revocation, the KUA shall delete the e-KYC data and cease any further sharing."

This means an Aadhaar card holder is legally allowed to delink her biometric identification details from bank accounts and mobile phone numbers.

I believe what the Compendium says is "only biometric details that were submitted can be delinked". It means those who physically walked into a Bank and submitted their thumb/finger impression while seeding their Aadhaar number with bank account, then, only biometrics can be delinked.

Many customers have linked their Aadhaar via SMS or via OTP. Such Aadhaar delinking may not be possible due to specific wordings used in Compendium.

Sir, Banks are forcing the customer for thump verification and adhaar. My sister's finger print did not match with bank's adhaar UID linked portal. hours sitting and repeatedly asked to come. her account was inoperative from one year. bank deducted the inoperatiion charges but not going to make this account operation again. All the way she need to visit the adhaar center and re-do her finger print scan. other banks also not opening new account without Adhaar thumb verification at their branch. Despite the Apex court decision about the forced implementation of addar, these things are happening.

The Madras High Court on Tuesday (24/07/2018) allowed nine petitioners to file their Income Tax returns manually without quoting their Aadhaar number for the assessment year 2018-19.

A division bench of Justices MM Sundresh and Anand Venkatesh passed the interim order noting that since the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar itself was yet to be decided, the petitioners could be allowed to file Income Tax returns without the Aadhaar.

However, the bench made it clear that if the “Supreme Court decides to uphold the constitutionality of Aadhaar, then the petitioners would have to file revised return quoting Aadhaar.”

The Supreme Court had on May 10 reserved its verdict on a batch of pleas challenging the constitutional validity of the Centre’s flagship Aadhaar scheme and its enabling 2016 law after a marathon hearing that went on for 38 days spanning four-and-half months.

In the high court, the petitioners, who sought the court’s direction to let them file returns without their Aadhaar number, contended that in view of a series of Supreme Court interim orders, Aadhaar remained a purely voluntary scheme.

Hence, they cannot be compelled by the Income Tax Department to provide Aadhaar details while filing returns, the petitioners argued.

The department also allows e-verification using ATMs. Recently, State Bank of India and Axis Bank have started offering this facility. Other banks are expected to follow.

To use this facility, swipe your ATM card and you will see the option ‘PIN for income tax filing’. Select it to receive the EVC on your mobile number and email.

I feel they have put off e verification for the moment as servers are busy for filling... Becoz i did 5 aadhar verification before 20th, so after filling date it might get back on

Dhiraj Sir,

I think Adhar e_verification is working now.

Aadhar based e-Verificaton is shown under progress.
