You may ask what is the use of e-filing if you have to anyway submit the ITR-V manually to income tax office. There are some benefits...



- Ease of use

- You don't have to write all things manually

- There is ease to check the filled data

- If you fill on the last date of submission, it is difficult for you to submit that day itself. You can do e-filing. You will get 15 days to file the ITR-V.



Happy Filing :)
