Income Tax Return Verification Deadline Approaching

Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) is just the first step.

To make sure your return is valid, you need to verify it within a certain time.

If you don't, the Income Tax Department might treat it as if you never filed it.

This can cause delays in getting your tax refund and might even require you to file a new return.

There are several ways to verify your ITR online, such as using an Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or an Electronic Verification Code (EVC) from your bank or an ATM.

Before you start, make sure you have registered on the Income Tax e-filing portal, linked your PAN with Aadhaar and your bank account, and have your ITR acknowledgement number ready.

Verifying your return is important because it allows the department to process your refund and assess any tax you might owe.

So, don't forget to complete this final step to avoid any issues.
