Now, before taking a printout of ITR-V and sending it to the CPC, there are a few things you need to be mindful of. For instance, if your PAN number is ABCD1234A and your date of birth is, the password to access ITR-V is ABCD1234A01012000 Step 6: Take a printout of the acknowledgement. The password is a combination of your PAN (in small caps) and your date of birth. Step 5: The ITR-V will open as a PDF which is password protected. There are several other important dos and don'ts to be followed while sending this ITR-V.

Do keep in mind that you cannot send the ITR-V through courier. You have to sign and send it to the Centralized Processing Centre in Bengaluru by ordinary or speed post within 120 days of uploading your return else your return will be treated as invalid. However, if you are unable to e-verify for any reason, then you can download the ITR-V, also known as the acknowledgement receipt, from the income tax (I-T) department's website (). For those taxpayers who have e-filed their returns, they can e-verify at the time of uploading or after uploading. You can verify your return electronically with an E-Verification Code (EVC) using any one of multiple options available or you can do it physically by sending a signed ITR-V. Did you know that if you haven't verified your income tax return, the process is incomplete? As per the existing tax laws, a return filed by the taxpayer is not valid until it is verified as filed by the concerned assessee.
