ITRV stands for income tax return verification form and treated as an acknowledgement of efilling your income tax return. Each individual who has e-filled his IT return without using digital signature certificate is required to compulsorily send their ITRV to IT department’s CPC Bangalore office. However, if you have filled your IT return with digital signature then it’s not required for you to send it to IT office.
After efilling your income tax return an acknowledgment called ITRV will be generated which can be opened with a password in combination of your pan number and date of birth. If tax payer’s PAN number is ABCDE1234F and date of birth is 01-01-2001 then your ITRV password will be abcde1234f01012001.
