E-verify your ITR

EVC refers to electronic verification code. It is a 10 digit alphanumeric code that is unique to a PAN card and generated to verify the individual return electronically. It can be generated through e-Filing portal and is valid for 72 hours. If it is generated through Aadhar Card, it is only valid for ten minutes.
