Have you submitted your tax returns? Here’s how to use Aadhaar OTP to e-Verify your ITR.

Every person who earns money is obliged to file an Income Tax Return (ITR), which is a form that reports their annual earnings to the IRS. The form can be used by you or any other taxpayer to report your income, expenses, tax deductions, and investments, among other things. The time for filing AY 2021-22 Income Tax Returns (ITR) is coming, and those who have not yet done so should be advised that the deadline is December 31, 2021. There are two methods for submitting IT: offline and online. The Internal Revenue Service allows you to file your tax return electronically (e-filing).

You must e-verify the ITR after it has been filed to complete the return filing procedure. An ITR is considered invalid by the IRS if it is not confirmed within the timeframe specified. e-Verification is the most convenient and time-saving method of validating your ITR. The e-Verify function is available to both registered and non-registered users on the e-Filing site.

You can use one of several methods to e-Verify your tax return. For e-Verification, you can use a Digital Signature Certificate, an Aadhaar OTP, an Electronic Verification Code (using a bank account or a demat account), an Electronic Verification Code (using a bank ATM – offline mode), or Net Banking.

Make sure your cell phone is linked to Aadhaar if you want to e-verify your ITR using Aadhaar OTP after you’ve already filed it. Also, double-check that your PAN is linked to your Aadhaar number.
