Important Aspects to Consider for a Successful ITR Filing

Understanding Your Income Sources and Tax Brackets:

• Income Sources: Identify all your income sources during the financial year, including salary, interest income, rental income, capital gains, business income, and more.

• Tax Brackets: The Indian government sets tax brackets for different income levels. Knowing your applicable tax bracket (based on your total taxable income) is crucial for calculating your tax liability. Here's a breakdown (subject to change):

  • No Tax: Up to ₹5 lakhs
  • 5%: ₹5 lakhs to ₹10 lakhs
  • 20%: ₹10 lakhs to ₹15 lakhs
  • 30%: ₹15 lakhs to ₹20 lakhs
  • 36%: Above ₹20 lakhs

• Gather all essential documents: Here's a checklist:

  • Salary slips for the entire financial year.
  • Investment proofs like mutual fund statements, Fixed Deposit receipts, etc.
  • Bank statements reflecting interest income, tax deductions at source (TDS) certificates.
  • Tax challans (proof of any tax paid directly).
  • Form 16 (provided by your employer, it summarizes your salary income and tax deductions).
  • Aadhaar card (linking Aadhaar to PAN is mandatory for most filers).

• Choose the Right ITR Form: The Income Tax Department offers various ITR forms depending on your income sources and filing status. 

• Understanding Key Terms

Meet Deadlines: Remember, filing your ITR after the due date (typically July 31st) can attract penalties.
