Once you file your ITR, you have to e-verify the same within 120 days. If you do not e-verify or submit your ITR-V physically within 120 days of filing Income Tax Return, then your ITR will be considered cancelled. That means, Income Tax Department will consider that you have not filled your ITR.
You can e-verify ITR by following the below simple steps sitting at your home/office. All you need before e-verification is to ensure (1) your PAN and Aadhaar are linked & (2) your mobile number is linked to Aadhaar for receiving Aadhaar OTP.
