Once we file our Income Tax Return, there is always a question in the mind of assessee how to open ITR V Acknowledgement and how to E-verify it? Hence today I am covering here these two very important aspects of return filing.

How to open ITR V Acknowledgment?

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.

How to E-verify Income Tax Return filed online?

It can be verified using Electronic Verification Code or Aadhaar OTP or DSC. The details are as under:

Option 1: Electronic verification code

Electronic verification code can be generated using the following options.

  • Login to eFiling through NetBanking:

Taxpayer can generate an EVC through ATM and the EVC can be used to verify the listed items. “PIN FOR INCOME TAX FILING” option can be used in the ATM to generate the EVC. Taxpayer must have linked their PAN with the respective bank account and the PAN should be registered with eFiling for the same.

Option 2: Aadhaar OTP

To generate an EVC through Aadhaar is done in two stages.

Firstly, the taxpayer has to link PAN with Aadhaar through the e-filing portal.

The taxpayer’s PAN credentials such as Name, Date of Birth and Gender will be matched with the Aadhaar credentials. On matching, the PAN will be linked to Aadhaar.

Secondly, taxpayer has to opt for Aadhaar EVC. A One Time Password (OTP) will be generated by the Aadhaar authorities and sent to the Aadhaar registered mobile of the taxpayer. Using this OTP, the taxpayer would be able to verify the uploaded return.

    Looks like Income tax dept does not have any QA persone. The PDF needs PAN number in small letters!! though it is mentioned in caps everywhere. I learned this after several hit and trials.

    Site is also horrible in terms of user experience.
