Verification of return on new portal

If you're encountering an error on the new Income Tax portal stating you must verify your original return before verifying a revised one, and there's no discard option, you're not alone. The solution involves contacting the Income Tax help desk. Alternatively, ensure you follow the correct e-verification steps by logging in, navigating to e-File > Income Tax Return > e-Verify Return, and proceeding with the e-verification process for the unverified return.
