After filing Income Tax return, taxpayers also need to verify it and this can also be done online. The tax department will commence processing the return request only when it is verified. Taxpayers can verify their returns via netbanking which is considered as the quick way to verify it.

An individual can verify the return electronically using E-Verification Code (EVC), physically or via other modes. Under the 'e-verify return' option, three alternatives to verify returns will be given.

1. I already have an EVC to e-verify my return.
2. I do not have an EVC and I would like to generate EVC to verify my return.
3. To verify your returns using Aadhaar OTP (For this, mobile mobile number must be linked with Aadhaar)
