The tax department has been constantly reminding taxpayers who have filed their ITR via the e-filing portal to verify their income tax returns. As per the current income tax rules, once the ITR has been filed, its verification has to be done within next 120 days. So if you fail to verify your ITR within 120 days, it will be considered that you have never filed your ITR.
Verification of the ITR can be done either electronically using electronic verification code (EVC), one-time password (OTP) or physically by sending the signed ITR V copy i.e. a one-page ITR acknowledgment document to the Income Tax Department – CPC, Post Box No-1, Electronic City Post Office, Bengaluru- 560100, Karnataka, India.
It is to be noted that the document signed in blue ink can be send only via speed or ordinary post. You cannot courier the ITR-V.
