Hi,
Could you plz elaborate more about manner of filing?It is not clear as to what should be done after filling up ITR1 by hand.Like what to be sent to IT office and the format.Also how to send ITR1 if aadhar card is present.What is electronic verification newly introduced.
Dear Sandhya,
1. Filing of ITR 1 by hand: noting is require to done after filing of ITR.
2. In case of on line filing :
With digital signature:noting is require to done after filing of ITR.
without digital signature without adhaar no: same as old practice, duly signed ITR V is required to send banglore.
Without digital signature with adhar no : you can generate Electronic verification code by mentioning EVC no need to send physical signed ITR V.
