How To E-Verify ITR With Aadhaar Linked PAN Card?

Have you linked your Aadhaar card to your Aadhaar number? If your Aadhaar and PAN are not connected, you should link your PAN to your Aadhaar card by March 31, 2022. You may link your PAN and Aahaar by going to the Income Tax Department's official website. Not only for e-verifying ITR but also for linking these documents, since if you do not link the documents by the deadline, your PAN card will become invalid and you will have to pay Rs 1,000 for PAN Aadhaar Linking.

If your Aadhaar and PAN are connected, you can use your Aadhaar to e-verify your Income Tax Return (ITR). You should also keep in mind that in order to use this service, your mobile number must be registered with Aadhaar. You may file your IT returns online using your Aadhar Card. Taxpayers are no longer required to submit a one-page verification document, known as the ITR-V, to the Income Tax Department in Bangalore. Instead, customers can use an Electronic Verification Code to validate their returns online (EVC).

After you've linked your Aadhar to your PAN, follow these procedures to e-verify your returns:

• I do not have an EVC and would like to generate EVC to e-Verify my return.
• I would like to generate Aadhaar OTP to e-Verify my return.
• I would like to send ITR-V/I would like to e-verify Later.

Choose the third option, which states - create Aadhaar OTP.

An OTP will be given to the mobile number linked with your Aadhaar; this OTP is only valid for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Finally, input the OTP on the page and press the 'Submit' button. You will subsequently get a notice stating, "Return successfully e-Verified." 'Obtain the Acknowledgement.' The same acknowledgment will be sent to your registered email address. You have completed the e-filing and e-verification of your income tax return.
