Facts
NRIs can verify using an EVC from a pre-validated Indian bank or demat account, net banking, or a DSC. Otherwise, sign the ITR-V and post it to CPC Bengaluru so it arrives within 30 days.
Provisions and law
- Rule 12, Income-tax Rules 1962 (now Rule 164, Income-tax Rules 2026)Return must be verified in the prescribed manner.
- Sec 139(1), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 263(1), Income-tax Act 2025)Return is required when total income exceeds the basic exemption limit or a set condition applies.
Analysis
Net banking of an Indian bank is often the quickest. If posting, use a reliable courier and keep tracking proof. If verified late, the late date may count as the filing date. Check the status after a few weeks.
Conclusion
- Choose an available verification method.
- Verify immediately if online.
- If posting ITR-V, send early.
