The last step will be the payment of filing fees. The software will automatically generate fees as per the plan applicable to you, such as Non-resident Plan (if you are non-resident), Professional Plan (if you have business income), and so on.

Since, in this case, you have only salary income, you need to pay some nominal filing fees. Your return will get filed automatically at the moment you make payment of filing fees.

You can make payment by any mode viz.

1. Credit/ debit card.
2. Net banking & other modes.

Once the Amount is paid, your return will be in the filing queue. Once the same is filed, you will receive an ITR-V Acknowledgement on your Email account.
