1. by furnishing the return in a paper form;
2. by furnishing the return electronically under digital signature;
3. by transmitting the data in the return electronically under electronic verification code;
4. by transmitting the data in the return electronically and thereafter submitting the verification of the return in Return Form ITR-V


Mandatory e-filing of return
From the assessment year 2015-16 onwards any assessee, other than an individual of the age of 80 years or more at anytime during the previous year, having a refund claim in the return or having total income of more than Rs 5,00,000 is required to furnish the return of income electronically with or without digital signature or by using electronic verification code.


Documents required:
ITR return forms are attachment less forms and the taxpayer is not required to attach any document (like proof of investment, TDS certificates, etc.) along with the return of income (whether filed manually or filed electronically). However, these documents should be retained by the taxpayer and should be produced before the tax authorities when demanded in situations like assessment, inquiry, etc. In case the taxpayer is required to furnish a report of audit, he is required to electronically submit the TDS certificates and some other documents on or before the date of filing the return of income.

The form should be printed, signed and submitted to CPC, Bengaluru using Ordinary Post or Speed Post ONLY, within 120 days from the date of e-Filing. There is no further action needed. Alternatively, you may also use Aadhar or internet banking to e-verify the return.
 e-File the Income Tax Return through an e-Return Intermediary (ERI) with or without Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
 Use Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) / EVC to e-File-There is no further action needed, if filed with a DSC / EVC.
In case of a tax audit, it is mandatory to file Income Tax Forms using Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) by a Chartered Accountant. The Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) used in e-Filing the Income Tax Return/Forms should be registered on e-Filing application.
