Why is IT Filing Mandatory in India
Why is IT Filing Mandatory in India
If you are an individual earning more than the basic exemption limit or a professional having income above Rs 25 lakh, it is mandatory to file your returns. You are required to file your return whether you have received any refund from the government or not. The reason is that there are several tax benefits such as reducing your tax burden and claimable deductions which are only available to those who file their returns.
Additionally, individuals wishing to apply for any loan or avail any benefit such as Income tax Return rebate from the government must file their returns as well. Similarly, NRIs who earn or accrue more than Rs 2.5 lakh must also file their returns. The only exception to this rule is if they have a valid PAN (Permanent Account Number) and have had their taxes deducted at source.
Thankfully, with the introduction of new ITR forms, filing your taxes has become much easier than ever before. In fact, the process can be completed online in just a few steps. All you have to do is ensure that all the relevant documents are ready before you start your e-filing journey. This includes Form 16 given by your employer, proof of investment and any receipts you might have.
Once you have submitted your returns, the next step is to verify them. This can be done through the e-verification (EVC) or Aadhaar OTP sent to your registered email address and mobile phone. Alternatively, you can also send the signed ITR-V slip to the CPC office in Bengaluru via normal or speed post within 120 days of your filing.
