5 ways to e-verify ITR before deadline

Income tax return must be e-verified within 30 days of filing to avoid invalidation.

E-verification methods include Aadhaar OTP, net banking, bank account pre-validity, demat account, and electronic verification code.

Unverified returns are treated as invalid, leading to no refunds or processing.

Taxpayers should complete verification before the July 31 deadline for faster refunds.
