Updated on: 03 Feb, 2025 07:25 PM

Verifying your income tax return (ITR) is the final step in the income tax return filing process. If you do not verify your ITR within 30 days of filing it, it will be considered invalid under income tax laws.

Step 1:
While filing your income tax return, you will see an option to “complete your verification” once you have submitted your tax return. In this step, you will have to select the third option, i.e., verify via ITR-V.

Points to remember if you are sending ITR-V to verify your tax return.

  • The ITR-V is a one-page form that must be signed in blue ink. It must be sent either by regular post or by speed post. ITR-V cannot be couriered.
  • CPC Bangalore speed post address must be used to send the form: 'CPC, Post Box No - 1, Electronic City Post Office, Bangalore - 560100, Karnataka, India.'
  • You are not expected to send any supporting documents with your ITR-V.
  • There should be no signatures on the bar code.
  • The barcode and numbers below it should be clear.
  • Once the tax department receives your ITR, you will be notified via SMS on your registered mobile phone and email address.

This notification is only for the receipt of the ITR-V; the confirmation for the processing of the tax return is separate.
