ITR-V is an acknowledgement slip generated on filing the income tax return online. This ITR-V is to be signed and sent to the Income tax department-CPC by post to complete the return filing process.
The password of the document is a combination of PAN (in lower case) and date of birth in the format ddmmyyyy. For example, if the PAN is AAAAP0000A and the date of birth is 10-Jan-2008, the password is aaaap0000a10012008.
You should consider the following Do's and Dont's for printing and submitting of ITR-Vs to ITD-CPC Bangalore to complete the e-filing process:
1. Only A4 size white paper should be used.
2. Ensure that print out is clear and not light print/faded copy.
3. The document to be mailed to CPC should be signed in original in blue ink only. The TRP Column is to be left blank.
4. The signatures or any text should not be written on the Bar code. The Bar code and numbers below the bar code should be clearly visible.
5. Avoid typing anything at the back of the paper and folding the paper.
6. Please do not submit any annexures, covering letter, pre stamped envelopes etc. along with ITR-V. Do not use stapler on ITR-V.
7. In case you are submitting original and revised returns, do not print them back to back. Use two separate papers for printing ITR-Vs separately.
8. The ITR-V form is required to be sent to "Income Tax Department - CPC, Post Box No - 1, Electronic City Post Office, Bangalore - 560100, Karnataka" by regular Indian Postal Service or speed post only (courier is not accepted). If you are sending the signed ITR-V through speed post, delete the text "Post Box No - 1" from the address.
9. The ITR-V should reach CPC within 120 days of filing of return.
10. ITR-Vs that do not conform to the above specifications may get rejected or acknowledgement of receipt may get delayed.
When do you need to re-post the signed ITR-V?
It generally takes about 3 weeks from the date of posting ITR-V, for CPC to send acknowledgement of the same on your registered email id. If it has been more than 3 weeks since you posted your signed ITR-V and you have not received the acknowledgement for it yet, you need to post another copy immediately to the Income Tax Department-CPC.
The non-receipt of ITR-V at CPC may be due to any of the following reasons:
1. The ITR-V may be in transit via India Post
2. The ITR-V may be under process at CPC, Bangalore
3. Your ITR-V may be defective, viz. not signed ITRV or signed in black or got torn in the transit or its bar code could not be scanned
4. Your ITR-V may have been misplaced in transit
Since the only means of posting signed ITR-Vs to CPC is through normal/ speed post, there is no tracking number available. Hence, it cannot be confirmed whether the posted ITR-Vs have reached CPC and by when.
