INCOME TAX RETURN

Every responsible Indian citizen should file income tax to the government. With present technology, you can easily file your income tax online. This process is fast and accurate with no time constraints.

However, Filing income tax return in India through the official website involves filing ITR forms. There is a different ITR form for individuals and ITR form for salaried people. This is a critical task because the income tax department has various forms titled from ITR 1 to ITR 7. Each form has a specific function and belongs to a particular category.

Checklist for Income Tax Return Filing (ITR return)

For Filing income tax return, Section 139 (1) of the Income-tax Act 1961 specifies any individual whose total income during the previous year is more than the maximum amount not chargeable to tax should file their income tax returns online.

Let us make it clear: Any individual earning more than ₹2.5 lakhs, ₹3 lakhs or ₹5 lakhs should file ITR.

Benefits of E-Filing of Income Tax Return

The advantages of ITR Filing are:

Loans: Bank loans like education loans, vehicle loans, personal loans, can be availed easily as they require the last three year’s IT returns.

Visa: As Immigration centres scrutinise many documents and IT returns, proofs are a mandatory document for visa applicants.
