Income-tax return verification forms updated for electronic filing, acknowledgement, and time-linked furnishing consequences under the amended rules. Income-tax Rules, 1962 are amended to substitute the prescribed forms in Appendix II relating to return filing verification and acknowledgement. The amendment replaces Form ITR-V for cases where return data in specified income-tax return forms has been electronically transmitted but not electronically verified, and replaces Form ITR-Ack for cases where such return data has been filed and verified. The substituted ITR-V form retains the verification process, prescribed modes of verification, and the time-linked consequences for furnishing the return.
