How to validate income tax return

To validate your Income Tax Return (ITR) in India, you must complete the e-verification process within 30 days of filing. This is essential for the Income Tax Department to process your return. You can e-verify online via the e-filing portal using:

• Aadhaar-linked mobile number (via OTP)
• Net Banking
• Pre-validated bank account or demat account (via EVC)
• Bank ATM (offline method to generate EVC)
• Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

Verification ensures your filing is legally valid and initiates any eligible tax refunds.
