What is ITR-V, Time Limit, where to submit and what if not submitted within time
What is an ITR-V?
- ITR-V stands for ‘Income Tax Return – Verification’ form.
- Income Tax Department needs to verify the authenticity of income tax return when filed online without using a digital signature/ Aadhaar OTP/ EVC mode.
- On receipt of ITR-V you have to sign the copy and submit to the Income Tax Department to complete the filing process.
What steps are to be followed when I e-file without using a Digital Signature/ Aadhaar OTP/ EVC mode?
When you e-file without using a Digital Signature/ Aadhaar OTP/ EVC mode, you receive ITR-V as an attachment in the e-mail sent by the Income Tax Department. Since the return you filed was not signed, your filing is still incomplete. To complete the return filing process, follow the below mentioned steps –
- Print and sign ITR-V in BLUE ink.
- Do not fold this signed ITR-V. Enclose the same in A-4 size envelope.
- Mail the envelope within 120 days of e-filing to –

Post Box No.1,
Electronic City Post Office,
Bangalore 560100, Karnataka. - Upon receipt of ITR-V, Income Tax Department will send an e-mail acknowledging the receipt of signed copy of ITR-V. This is your acknowledgement.

In case ITRV forgot to sign and sent to CPC BANGLORE what will be the penalty
My company have some additional money in emp. Superannuation fund claiming change of interest rate for 2 yrs. Indicated it as perks and tax was deducted.
This year they again revised the rate of interest to the lower previous value for the last 2 yrs and are recovering that by paying less.
In the process I ended up paying lot of additional tax.
Can I reclaim the differential while filing ITR by reducing the perks component of my form 16 as that money is being retrieved by my company?
Only A4 size paper is required. A4 size envelope is not a must. Only take care not to make any folds on the bar code of ITR V.
My personal experience of past several yearsis that if you send by Speedpost as above , even in a smaller envelope ,the ITR V is accepted Income Tax authorities without any issues.

@Amit, Panchal,…
A look at the department’s website, on – “ITR-V Do’s Don’ts”, “a sealed A-4 envelope” is a must finds no mention.
Instead, what is mentioned is that “Only A-4 white paper should be used”
The author of the write-up may please check and clarify. Also this anamoly may have to be pinpointed to the Department. That should help and go a long way in saving those tax payers from any unwarranted harssment should the ITR-V be reported to be “Not Received” despite it having been sent but because of having been sent in a smaller envelope.
No need to add :This is just one of the woes being faced with by dutiful taxpyers in the aftermath of the setup of so called – CPC, marked with incompleteness and deficiencies galore.
If perceptively observed, in today’s context,in which the social evils such as perjury,forging signatures and supposed -to-be legal documents, so on, have come to be in vogue alarmingly, the sanity or otherwise of the emphasis placed by the Department on the simplicitic requirement of a signed ITR-V to be brought on record , by any standard, ought to be given a second look and dispensed with; sooner the better.For that matter, knowing the widely predvailing corrupt mindsets/ prasctices, perhaps, even requitement to affix a ‘digital signature’ on tax retrn, etc., may not prove, contrary to the underlying belief of beauracts, a safe-proof or foolproof safeguard against the anticipated “incompleteness” in mind.
> Over to technocrats for any profoundly useful feedback or suggestions to protect the Revenue but at the same time with the least discomfiture to the honest taxpayers.
Despite indications, the requirement of forwarding to the CPC the system generated ITR V, signed, still remains to be dispensed with. This is a requirement which is believed to be to ensure the ‘authenticity’ of the filed return. As common sense should dictate the said reason does not seem to hold water. Besides, that failure to file and get an ack.(there could be many slips between the cup and the lip) would have the dire consequence of being treated as a case of no -return -filed and hence filing of a return once more is a must verges on a ‘no-sense’ compulsion. Once the system produced Ack. No. is received and in possessio9n of tax payer, to be produced if and when so required specifically, the return filed and on record ought not to be as ‘no-return’, but be considered as an authentic one, with no attendant consequence whatsoever. What needs to be noted is that is really so and will be in parity with in regard to return used to be manually filed but for the new mandate of e’filing. In this context, the mindless litigation /court case reported not long ago has left taxpayers with a bitter memory. In that case, the department with no rhyme or sane reason stuck to its stance/gun; albeit on its own admission, a return had been filed, it was so repeatedly affirmed, and reiterated to have been filed by a leading law firm, and was very much on record.
It is high time that the Revenue , in such matters, gives up its hyper-technical attitude once for all but evinces a sense of fair play for the benefit of by and large honest tax paying community.
