New Delhi: In order to end the trouble of sending paper-based acknowledgement of e-filed Income Tax Returns (ITRs), the CBDT is planning to send a one-time password (OTP) on taxpayers’ mobile phones which will be valid for 24-hours after getting verified from the Aadhaar database. The department, a senior official said, has decided to usher these new protocols very soon as the new ITRs for the assessment year 2015-16 have recently been notified, heralding the onset of the tax filing season. The deadline for filing ITRs is August 31. A senior official involved in the processes told PTI that the new ITRs will capture the Aadhaar number of an individual and after doing a “back end” matching of the Aadhaar number with the mobile number and other vital personal data of the individual, an OTP will be generated and sent for validating and final submission of the return.
