How to e-verify your Income Tax Return

Best SIP Funds to Invest Online 



After filing your income tax returns, you need to get your ITR-V (return filing acknowledgement) verified. Earlier, it was mandatory for taxpayers to send the physical copy of ITR-V duly signed to income tax department in Bengaluru within 120 days of e-filing income tax return. Now, taxpayers can e-verify it in minutes in five different ways as explained here.

How e-verification process works?

Your income tax returns can be e-verified by generating an Electronic Verification Code (EVC) which is a 10-digit alphanumeric code and unique to a PAN. On one EVC code only one online income tax return can be verified, so in case you revise your income tax return, you need to generate another EVC. After verifying your return via EVC, you are no longer required to send the physical ITR-V to CPC Centre, Bengaluru. Let's understand ways to obtain EVC code:

1. E-verification through Net Banking

Login to your net banking and check whether they are authorised by the income tax department to provide e-verification facilities. Also, your PAN should be validated via KYC before using this method. Then login to your net banking account and select e-verify option, which will redirect you to the government e-filing portal. Here, click on my account on e-filing page which will generate the EVC. This will be sent on your registered email id and mobile number. Using this EVC you can then e-verify your return.

2. E-verification through Aadhar card OTP

To use this e-verification mode, login to government's e-filing portal. Your Aadhar card should be linked with this portal to generate OTP for e-filing. Then click on the option 'generate Aadhaar OTP to e-Verify my return'. After Aadhaar is authenticated and linked, an OTP will be sent to the taxpayer's registered mobile number. Then this OTP can be used to e-verify the tax return. This OTP is valid for 10 minutes. After completing this e-verification method, you can download the acknowledgement from registered email address.

3. E-verification through government e-filing portal

To e-verify IT returns using government e-filing portal www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, taxpayers need to meet certain criteria i.e. income should be less than Rs 5 lakhs and you do not claim a refund. To use this mode, directly log on to the government's e-filing portal mentioned. After login, click on e-verify and the EVC is sent to your registered email address and mobile number. Use this EVC to complete the e-verification process. However, it's recommended to use other methods discussed for e-verification if you don't meet the set criteria or you are unsuccessful to complete the process.

4. E-verification through Bank's ATM

Some banks are registered with the IT department for providing e-verification facility. So check with your bank before proceeding. EVC can be generated by swiping your ATM card in your bank ATM and by selecting an option of Pin for e-filing. Then EVC will be received on registered mobile number which can be used to verify your income tax returns on government portal. This method is useful if you are unable to login to your net banking account to generate EVC.

5. E-verification through Demat account

Before using this method, you need to provide your depository details on government e-filing portal which should be confirmed by the depository. Then select profile setting on portal and pre-validate your demat account. Choose verification mode as EVC using a demat account. You will receive EVC on your registered mobile number. Enter this EVC on e-filing portal to complete the verification process.

Banks tweak ATM strategies

Unrestricted usage of third-party ATMs ends on Thursday The era of free ATM usage will come to an end on Thursday, October 15. Every transaction carried out on another bank’s ATM could cost an account holder as much as Rs 20 and withdrawals will face a limit of Rs 10,000, the Indian Bank’s Association has said in its guidelines. According to the guidelines, banks can offer savings-account holders five free thirdparty withdrawals every month —they can be charged from the sixth transaction onwards. Current account holders can be charged the fees, which ranges from Rs 18 to Rs 20, from the very first transaction. Most banks are convinced that charging current account and no-frill account customers from the word go is a good idea. It suggests that the usage of ATMs by current-account holders is price-insensitive. For others, banks have decided to frame their charges depending on the profile of the customer. For instance, HDFC Bank is allowing its salary account and premium customers an unl...

TDS Rate and Personal Account Number(PAN)

    The TDS rate doubles to 20% from 10% if you fail to mention your Personal Account Number   IF you run a glance through your pay slip, you will come across something called TDS, which is tax deduction at source. In most cases, the employer deducts this amount at the time of payment of salary itself and pays the total tax amount to the government on behalf of all the employees. If you are a self- employed or practicing professional s, you have to pay this amount yourself.    Tax deducted at source is one of the modes of income tax collection by the government. Under the income-tax laws, income tax at specified rates is required to be deducted while making certain payments.    The rate of deduction of tax at source on interest and rent payment is 10%.

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

Women need to plan for Retirement

Plan for Retirement Online       Higher life expectancy, lower pay and fewer work years necessitate thorough planning.   Women have raced ahead of men in various fields but, when it comes to retirement planning, they tend to lag behind. Despite saving a higher proportion of their salary, compared to men, women generally do not take retirement planning seriously. Below are some of the reasons why they should: According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in India, the life expectancy of women is 69 years and, of men, it's 66 years. Due to this, a woman will need an additional `55 lakh to manage her living expenses (see table).Besides, usually, women work fewer years compared to men to take care of children and family.Further, a recent study by Korn Ferry Hay Group shows that women in India earn 18.8% less than men.
