Verification of e-filed income tax returns allowed via one-time relaxation, regularizing pending returns upon verification. One-time administrative relaxation permits verification of electronically filed income-tax returns for Assessment Year 2020-21 that remain unverified or pending for want of ITR-V, allowing such returns to be regularized if verified within the extended window by submitting a duly signed ITR V by speed post or completing electronic verification via Aadhaar OTP, net banking, EVC through bank account or demat account, or bank ATM.
