Aadhaar OTP based EVC of ITRs-Maximum 5 OTP requests for a single Aadhaar can be made within a span of 30 minutes.

Aadhar based OTP is one of the Electronic Verification options of verifying submission of the Income Tax Returns (ITRs). Other options for generating Electronic Verification Code (EVC) are through Net Banking, Bank account, demat account, ATM.

It has been stated that as per new restrictions placed by UIDAI, a maximum of 5 OTP requests for a single Aadhaar can be made within a span of 30 minutes.

Taxpayers have been advised to give sufficient time before multiple submissions for Aadhaar OTP.
