How to open your ITR V / ITR Acknowledgement

By now, many of you would have filed several tax returns of your clients or your own companies or even your own returns. It has been brought to our notice that this year, whenever an ITR form is filed electronically without the digital signature, the system shows that the ITR-V has been e-mailed to the e-mail ID registered with the Income-tax Department’s web site. Thereafter, when the ITR-V is tried to be opened, the system asks for a password. This was creating problems as the password that is generally used by the tax payer to log onto the e-filing site does not work while opening the ITR-V.

Recently, the Income-tax Department has put up the following clarification on its website. This would help all of you in opening the ITR-V in case of returns filed electronically.

Information on how to open your ITRV/ITR ACK

Dear Tax Payer,

Please note that you will receive your ITRV/ITR ACK PDF file in a zip format. Please note that the ITRV/ITR ACK PDF document is password protected to ensure it is accessed by the appropriate user. The password is a combination of the pan (in lower case) and the date of birth in the format dd mm yyyy. For example, 1) if the pan is AAAAA0000A and the date of birth is 10-Jan-2008, then the password will be aaaaa0000a10012008 Please note that you will need Adobe Acrobat reader 8.0 or forward to open the password protected PDF file. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, please visit the following link to download it: www.adobe.com/products/ acrobat/readstep2.html In case you are unable to open the document, please contact Efiling Income Tax Administrator at ask@incometaxindia.gov.in providing the document along with pan number and assessment year.

    I submitted the return but didnot get ITR-V through mail. Somehow managed to get it from my accounts etc. but could not open it as it was asking for password. Tried all combinations but nothing worked. Finally your information about the password only helped.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Rashmi wrote on 11 January, 2011, 23:20

    Hi ABDUL RASHID,

    The password would be

    your pan number + your date of birth.

    For instance if your pan number is: AACCB2952P
    and you Date of Birth is : 20 Dec 1984

    then your password will be aaccb2952p20121984

    We have filled our return last year, but not able to sent the ITRV to income tax dept. Now we have lost the ITRV and we are getting mails for submittng the ITRV.
    “ITRV NOT RECIEVED, PLEASE FURNISH YOUR ITR V to CPC URGENTLY. For ITR ack number *****”
    What should be the next step?
    How we can get ITRV (we have only ITR ack number)?
    Please let me know ASAP, as the last date is very close.
