The  use of Adhaar will make the e-filing of income tax return fully online. The quick e-File has made the income tax return filing very easy even for non-tech savvy person. Now the integration with Adhaar will make the income tax return e-Filing a 15 minute exercise. The bottleneck of online return filing is the ITR-V, hopefully after the use of Adhaar the ITR-V may become history.

What is ITR-V

The ITR-V is a legal proof of income return e-filing by you. Since income tax often turns into the legal case, the income tax department needs ‘verified’ and ‘authentic’ income tax return from the taxpayer. The online income return e-filing does not contain your signature. There is a digital signature, but it is very costly for individual taxpayers. Therefore, you need to send a physical copy of income tax return form with your signature it it. It gives a valid proof to the income tax department.
