Email Communication:
Dear Taxpayer,
Greetings from e-Filing Team…
As per the records you have e-Filed Income Tax Return (ITR) for AY 2015-16 but not verified the same by sending the signed hard copy of ITR-V to Centralized Processing Centre (CPC) Bengaluru or the ITR-V has not yet been received at CPC.
Now, there is an easy way to electronically verify the ITR instead of having to send the ITR-V to CPC by post. Over 7.31 lakh taxpayers have e-verified their ITR and the number is growing each day as the convenience of the end to end electronic process is being realized by taxpayers. Please note that the option of sending the ITR-V to CPC is also available in case there is any difficulty in using the e-Verification facility.
You can e-Verify the ITRs by logging in to the Income Tax Website at https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and going to “My Account-> e-Filed returns/Forms” and using the e-Verify button next to the ITR that has not yet been verified and selecting from any of the options below:
- e-Verify through Aadhaar: (READ: How to link Aadhaar with Income Tax Return (ITR))
- e-Verify through NetBanking Login (READ: How to e-Verify already uploaded Income Tax Return)
- e-Verify through e-Filing EVC (Applicable for Taxpayers whose total income is Rs. 5 Lakhs or below and there is no refund claim)
