You can also e-Verify any other Income Tax related submissions / services / responses / requests on the e-Filing portal to successfully complete the respective processes.

What is ITR Verification?

To reduce the possibility of false ITR filing, every tax filer is required to verify that he or she filed the ITR and not someone else.

This is known as ITR verification.
