From the Assessment Year 2015-16 Income tax department has initiated facility of e-verification of electronically filed returns through one's AADHAR card number or through net banking.

If return is successfully e-verified there is no need to send ITR V to CPC Bangalore. E-verified returns are getting there refunds as early as within 10 days of e-verification of returns. E-verification is an easy way to verify IT return, but in some cases few errors are encountered while e-verifying the returns.

I would like to generate AADHAR OTP to e-verify my return:
