An Overview of The Process of E-Filing of Returns

e-Filing allows individuals to file income tax returns electronically through the internet or through an e-return intermediary. There are three options for e-filing: 1) using digital signature where no paper return is needed, 2) without digital signature requiring submission of an ITR-V form, or 3) through an e-return intermediary who assists with filing. New ITR forms 1 through 8 have been introduced for individual tax filers depending on the types of income reported. The e-filing process is complete once an acknowledgment is received for digitally signed returns, while non-digitally signed returns require submitting the verified ITR-V form to the local tax office within 15 days.

• Incase the return is digitally signed, on generation of


"Acknowledgement" the Return Filing process gets completed. You
may take a printout of the Acknowledgement for your record.

• Incase the return is not digitally signed, on successful uploading


of e-Return, the ITR-V Form would be generated which needs to be
printed by the tax payers. This is an acknowledgement cum
verification form. The tax payer has to fill-up the verification part and
verify the same. A duly verified ITR-V form should be submitted with
the local Income Tax Office within 15 days of filing electronically.
This completes the Return filing process for non-digitally signed
Returns.
