How To Pre-validate The Demat Accounts On The Income Tax e-Filing Portal?

Verify ITR: The ITD processes Income Tax Returns (ITR) only after verification, with options for electronic and physical methods. E-Verifying via Demat Account: This method uses an Electronic Verification Code (EVC), requiring a prevalidated Demat Account.

My Demat Account Service: Features include adding/removing Demat accounts, enabling/disabling EVC, updating contact details, and re-validating accounts.

Prerequisites: Must be a registered user on the e-Filing portal, have a valid Demat account (NSDL/CDSL), and linked contact information.

Steps to Pre-Validate: Login to the e-filing portal. Navigate to "My Profile." Select "Demat Account." View and manage Demat accounts, adding new ones if needed.
