With the current digitisation program, the income tax returns can be verified online without visiting the income tax department. There are various techniques in which you can verify your ITR. The recent way to verify is online with the existence of physical methods offline as well. The physical method is to send a copy of ITR-V by post.
The Electronic Verification Code plays a significant role in submitting tax returns through e-verification. The e-verification should be done within a time limit of 120 days, else ITR will be invalid.
