Submitting Form 145 is only part of the filing process. To complete the submission successfully, the form must be e-verified through one of the verification methods available on the Income Tax Department's e-Filing Portal.

Why Is e-Verification Important?

After reviewing your Form 145 and clicking Proceed to e-Verify, the portal requires electronic verification before the submission is accepted. Once e-verification is successful, a Transaction ID and Acknowledgement Number are generated.

Available e-Verification Methods

Depending on your profile and eligibility, you can verify Form 145 using:

1. Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

DSC is commonly used by:

  • Companies
  • LLPs
  • Chartered Accountants
  • Authorised signatories

A valid and registered DSC is required.

2. Aadhaar OTP

Individuals whose PAN is linked with Aadhaar may be able to verify using an OTP sent to the Aadhaar-linked mobile number.

3. Electronic Verification Code (EVC)

EVC can be generated through:

  • A pre-validated bank account.
  • A pre-validated demat account.
  • Supported bank ATM services.

4. Net Banking

Eligible taxpayers can log in through participating banks and complete e-verification directly using their net banking account.

What Happens After Successful Verification?

Once verification is completed:

  • A success message is displayed.
  • A Transaction ID is generated.
  • An Acknowledgement Number is issued.
  • Confirmation is sent to the registered email address and mobile number.

Keep these details for future reference.

If e-Verification Fails

Before trying again, check:

  • Whether your Aadhaar or bank account is properly linked.
  • Whether your DSC is active and registered.
  • Whether your bank account or demat account has been pre-validated for EVC.
  • Whether your internet session has timed out.

Conclusion

e-Verification is the final step in completing Form 145 filing. Choosing the appropriate verification method and ensuring that your registration details are up to date will help complete the filing process without unnecessary delays.
