Income Tax Returns

All you need to know

An income tax return is a form where taxpayers have to declare their taxable incomes from all sources, eligible deductions, and tax payments if any. This is called ITR Filing Procedure.

If you have paid more taxes than “payable”, you are entitled to Income tax refund. If the reverse is the case, you should pay remaining amount before filing your Income tax return. Cases, where more taxes have been paid beforehand, are TDS or Advance Tax paid by you. In such a scenario, you should show correct incomes and taxes in your Tax Returns.

Income tax return forms range from ITR 1 to ITR 7, used for different types of income and different types of entities. Depending on the type of forms, there are various disclosure requirements.

Filing ITR in India is completely online and paperless. There is no need for you to submit physical return at the local income tax offices. All documents, wherever necessary need to be submitted online. Income tax return is to be filed for a particular Financial Year (i.e. April to March) irrespective of Accounting Year adopted by you.
