  4. How to validate signature it is showing “signature date time are from the clock on the signer’s computer”

  5. I have same query as already raised by Sumit Roy,
    I am unable to understand what I should fill in the blank space in the last line of the declaration: “I further declare that I am making this return in my capacity as…………………………and I am also competent to make this return and verify it”. Since my return is filed under Status: INDIVIDUAL and is a personal Income Tax return, should I just write INDIVIDUAL in the blank space?

  6. While trying to complete ITR-1, I am repeatedly getting a message that I should check Form 16 or AS26. There is hardly any time left for me to first register for viewing these forms and then submitting the return.

    Is this message coming because the server, which matches actual TDS with the figures mentioned in ITR-1, is overloaded?

  7. To get copy of ITR V again
    1. Login to income tax site
    2. Goto My Account
    3. Goto My Returns
    4. Enter correct assessment year
    5. Click on submit
    6. Close information box that pops up
    7. Under “Details Page” column, there is link “Click here to view details”
    8. This link will give ITR V

  8. I want to know in ITR-V in verification column last line (in my capacity as coming blank not mention individaul is it ok.

  9. if anybody doesn’t receive their ITR-V through email, they can download from My Account > My Returns > Provide Your Assesment Year > Under Details Section > click on Click Here to view hyperlink in https:// incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in site…

  14. I have submitted my IT Return for AY 2012-13 using e-filing procedure and have also received the ITR-V acknowledgement file via e-mail. Since no digital signature was used, I now have to send a signed copy of ITR-V to Income Tax Department, CPC, Bengaluru.
    I am unable to understand what I should fill in the blank space in the last line of the declaration: “I further declare that I am making this return in my capacity as…………………………and I am also competent to make this return and verify it”. Since my return is filed under Status: INDIVIDUAL and is a personal Income Tax return, should I just write INDIVIDUAL in the blank space?

    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
