Here’s how you can verify your tax returns:

You can directly verify your ITR either electronically, verification code-EVC, or physically-offline by sending a signed copy of ITR-V to Income Tax Department - CPC, Post Box No-1, Electronic City Post Office, Bengaluru- 560100, Karnataka, India.

To check the status of the ITR-V receipt, login to incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and click on ITR status under the ‘Quick Links’ tab.

Enter your PAN and acknowledgement number of the ITR filed and captcha code on the new screen that appears.

The website will show you the current status of your ITR-V, once these details are filed.

Keep checking the status of ITR-V till it has reached CPC, Bengaluru within 120 days of you filing your ITR.

Once the ITR-V reaches CPC, the Income Tax Department will send you a confirmation mail or an SMS. Intimation of processing of the ITR will be sent later.

If you still haven’t send your ITR-V to CPC, Bengaluru, ensure that you must follow these:

Dos

The ITR-V must be sent via either ordinary post or speed post only.

Ensure that print-out of ITR-V is printed in black ink and is clear.

ITR-V to be sent to the CPC, Bengaluru must be signed in original and preferably in blue ink.

Bar code and numbers below it should be clearly visible.

There is no limit on the number of the ITR-Vs that can be sent in one envelope.

The print of ITR V should be on A4 size paper only.

Sign on ITR V should match with your sign on PAN Card.

Don'ts

ITR-V sent via courier will not be accepted.

ITR-V is a one-page document. One should not write anything on the back of it.

While sending ITR-V, avoid folding it to ensure that bar code is not tampered with in the process.

If you are sending multiple ITR-Vs, whether original or revised, make sure to print each of them on separate page.

You are not required to send any other document/s along with ITR-V.
