Here's what you need to know about completing verification for adding a client as an ERI (e-Return Intermediary) on the Income Tax Department's e-filing portal:
Verification is a crucial step when an ERI (Electronic Return Intermediary) initiates actions on your behalf, such as filing tax returns and forms. It ensures that you, as the client, are aware of and approve the requests made by the ERI.
Before you proceed with verification, you need to have a valid and active PAN card. The ERI must have initiated the request for adding you as a client, and you should have the transaction ID of the request, which is usually sent to you via email or mobile number. Also, you need to have an active primary mobile number or primary email ID registered on the e-filing portal.

The verification method will depend on the type of request submitted by the ERI. Here's a breakdown of common scenarios:
- Adding Client (Registered User): You'll receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on your registered mobile number for verification.
