The Government of India has set some rules and regulations for Indian citizens in the income tax payment. Whether you are a firm, local authority, association or an individual, your income is taxed for each financial year. It is essential that you should file your Income Tax Return (ITR) on an annual basis.

You should file an Income Tax Return that allows you to provide income information and payment of tax made on it during a year. In addition, the filing of an Income Tax return gives you benefits in the long and short term.

You can file your Income Tax Return via an offline or online process. Now, let’s read all about the e-filing of ITR.

What is E-filing?

E-filing is defined as the electronic paper for filing income taxes for a certain year. This system has provided ease to those citizens who used to stand for long hours in the queue. The method is safe, and convenient and one can file the ITR from home or office comfort. It means you will not need to physically visit the nearest ITR office for filing the return.

How can you file an Income Tax Return in an electronic way?

You can e-file your ITR by using a Digital Signature Certificate. It is a useful way to electronically sign the documents. This procedure is equivalent to physical or paper certificates.

If the DSC is not available then you can file your ITR digitally. For this, you have to generate a one-page document. It is called a verification form for Income Tax Return. This document is needed when you don’t submit your Aadhaar details on the portal. You can fill out this form and submit it to the Central Processing Centre (Bangalore) through the post. It should be done within 120 days after e-filing the ITR.

If you don’t have DSC, then also you can file your ITR digitally. You will need to verify your ITR through a bank or with your Aadhaar Number. In such a situation you are not required to submit the ITR V to the CPC.

NOTE: CPC stands for Central Processing Center. They sent an acknowledgement on the email of the taxpayer. This acknowledgement is regarding the ITR-V form.
