What is ITR V Acknowledgement Form?
The ITR V Acknowledgement Form, also known as the Income Tax Return Verification Form, is an essential document in the process of filing income tax returns. Once a taxpayer submits their income tax return (ITR), they receive the ITR V on their registered email ID from the Income Tax Department (ITD). Alternatively, taxpayers can download the ITR V Acknowledgement Form from the Income Tax e-Filing website.
It’s important to note that the process of filing the ITR is not considered complete until the taxpayer verifies it. This verification can be done either by e-Verifying the Income Tax return electronically or by physically sending the signed ITR V to the Centralized Processing Center (CPC) in Bangalore. This step ensures compliance with tax regulations and finalizes the filing process.
A taxpayer can access details of all his ITR filings by logging into Income Tax e-Filing Portal. Income Tax e-Filing Portal has all the details of a particular PAN holder.

Delay in Verification of ITR
Taxpayers encountering genuine hardship that prevents them from e-verifying their return can seek relief through a condonation delay request on the Income Tax e-Filing portal. However, such relief is granted based on specific criteria:
- Genuine Hardship on Merits:
- The taxpayer must demonstrate a legitimate and compelling reason for their inability to e-verify the return. This could include situations such as illness, natural calamities, or other extenuating circumstances beyond their control.
- Genuine and Correct Claim:
- The claim made by the taxpayer for condonation of delay must be authentic and accurate. Any false or misleading claims may result in rejection of the request.
- Assessability of Income:
- The income for the particular ITR filed should not be assessable in the hands of any other person. This ensures that the taxpayer seeking relief is the rightful owner of the income being reported.
