What is Income Tax Return?
Income Tax Return (ITR) is a form that an individual submits to the Income Tax Department of India to file information about his income and taxes payable during that year. Information filed in an ITR should be applicable for a particular financial year between 1st April to 31st March of the next year.
The income you earn can be from sources such as salary, profit in business, sale of house or property, dividend or capital gains, and interest received among others. If you have paid tax in excess during a year, you will get a refund by the Income Tax Department.
Is Filing ITR Compulsory?
Income Tax rules dictate that if you earn more than the limit that is exempted from being taxed by the Government, you are mandatorily required to file your tax return according to the tax slabs for each year. Filing your ITR post the due date may attract a penalty and also become a deterrent in getting a loan or visa approved in the future.
