What is Income Tax?

Income Tax is a direct tax levied by the Government of India on the income earned by individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), companies, firms, and other entities during a financial year. It is governed by the Income Tax Act, 1961 and is administered by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). Every person whose income exceeds the basic exemption limit is required to compute their tax liability and file an Income Tax Return (ITR) with the Income Tax Department.

Filing your Income Tax Return is not just a legal obligation but also serves as a crucial financial document. It is required for availing loans, processing visa applications, and serves as proof of your income and tax compliance. Timely and accurate filing ensures you claim all eligible deductions, receive refunds on excess TDS, and avoid penalties or notices from the Income Tax Department.

Benefits of Filing Income Tax Return

  • Serves as valid proof of income and financial standing
  • Required for loan approvals, visa applications, and credit card processing
  • Enables claiming refunds on excess TDS deducted
  • Helps avoid penalties and prosecution under the Income Tax Act
  • Facilitates carry forward of losses for set-off against future income

Frequently asked questions

Every individual whose gross total income exceeds the basic exemption limit (Rs. 2.5 lakh under old regime, Rs. 3 lakh under new regime) is required to file an ITR. Additionally, individuals who want to claim a refund, carry forward losses, or apply for loans/visa should also file their returns.

The Old Tax Regime allows various deductions and exemptions under sections like 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA etc. The New Tax Regime offers lower tax rates but most deductions and exemptions are not available. From AY 2024-25, the New Tax Regime is the default regime, but taxpayers can opt for the Old Regime if it is more beneficial.

For individuals and salaried taxpayers, the due date for filing ITR is 31st July of the assessment year. For businesses requiring audit, the due date is 31st October. A belated return can be filed by 31st December of the assessment year with a late fee of up to Rs. 5,000.

If you miss the deadline, you can still file a belated return under Section 139(4) before 31st December of the assessment year. However, a late filing fee under Section 234F of up to Rs. 5,000 will be applicable. You will also lose the ability to carry forward certain losses and may face interest under Section 234A on the outstanding tax amount.

Form 26AS is your annual tax credit statement that contains details of TDS deducted by your employer, bank, and other deductors, advance tax and self-assessment tax paid, and high-value transactions reported. It is important to verify Form 26AS before filing your return to ensure all TDS credits are properly reflected and to avoid any mismatch with the Income Tax Department records.

Yes, if you discover any mistake or omission in your original return, you can file a revised return under Section 139(5) before 31st December of the relevant assessment year or before the completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. There is no limit on the number of times you can revise your return within the allowed time period.
