E-verification versus physical ITR-V
E-verify within the allowed period using Aadhaar OTP, net banking, DSC or other approved methods. If not e-verified, the return can become invalid; physical submission to CPC applies only where permitted.

If the return itself is wrong, file a revised return within the permitted window. If only verification is pending, complete verification or reissue steps as applicable.
