Ways to Verify Your Income Tax Return

Via Bank Account: To use this verification option, your bank account should be pre-validated. Once this option is selected, an EVC (Electronic Verification Code) will be created and sent to the email address and mobile linked with your bank account.

Via Net Banking: Under this option, you will need your netbanking ID and password for e-verification.

Next, keep the signed form in an A4-size envelope and post it to the Centralised Processing Centre (CPC) — Income Tax Department, Bangalore. Note that this must be done within 30 days of filing the IT returns.
