As per the income tax laws, it is important to note that the income tax return (ITR) must be verified within 30 days (120 days earlier) of filing it. Thus, if you are using the physical method to verify your ITR (i.e., sending ITR-V to CPC- Bengaluru), then it is important to make sure that it reaches the income tax department on time. If ITR is not verified, it will be considered that ITR is not filed by you.
It is important to verify the income tax return to complete the ITR filing process. The CBDT via a notification reduced the time limit to verify ITR from 120 days earlier to 30 days or else return will be considered void/invalid. There are six ways to verify ITR. Out of these 6 ways, five are electronic methods and one is a physical method of verifying ITR.
For a small price, you can get your tax returns filed by a tax professional. Tax-filing portals also offer expert advice on how to file your return. After you fill-up the form, a tax professional will go through it to check for errors and omissions. Of course, if your finances are not very complicated, and you are well versed with the tax rules, you can file your return on your own.
