For any sort of investments, the government takes a cut, sometimes more than the required amount. But, what if we told you that you could get it in return? Yes! And you could do that by filing for an ITR or Income Tax Returns. Whatever money you have spent as tax can be returned to you by filing an ITR every year.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what exactly is this ITR? ITR is a form used to report our income, expenses, tax deductions, and the taxes that we&#8217;ve paid in a financial year. It is also a report or a document stating that you have paid due taxes for the financial year. In the same manner, if you had to pay a tax amount that is more than the tax liability you have according to your income, with the help of the ITR.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds too good to be true, right?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25613257\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1-300x187.webp\" alt=\"itr\" width=\"424\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1-300x187.webp 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1-1024x640.webp 1024w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1-768x480.webp 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1-150x94.webp 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1-750x469.webp 750w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1-1140x712.webp 1140w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/40454-1.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_File_ITR\"><\/span><strong>Who Should File ITR?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have an idea of the what and why of an ITR, the obvious following question would be, who should file an ITR? Is there some sort of criteria to file for an ITR? Is it applicable if I&#8217;m employed, a driver, or even a YouTube streamer? The Income Tax Department of India has stated the following categories that require people to file for an ITR at the end of every financial year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Salaried employees<\/li>\n<li>Freelancers\/Professionals<\/li>\n<li>Business Owners<\/li>\n<li>Individuals with capital gains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, anyone with an annual salary of 2.5 lakhs and above should file for an ITR. However, according to the new tax slabs, having a yearly income of 3 lakhs and above requires you to file an ITR. Does this mean that those who earn below the specified amount should not file for an ITR? Not exactly. An ITR can be your income proof, which you can submit for any required services; therefore, it would never be in vain to file an ITR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/explore\/free-accounting-courses\/?utm_source=seo&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=how_to_file_itr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<strong>Explore free accounting courses by Entri now!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_ITR_Forms\"><\/span><strong>Types of ITR Forms<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most people are either unaware or confused about which ITR form they should choose to file.

According to the recent update, individuals with an income of up to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/wealth\/tax\/new-fy-2025-new-income-tax-slabs-zero-tax-on-income-upto-rs-12-lakh-9-other-income-tax-laws-effective-from-april-1-2025\/articleshow\/119847605.cms?from=mdr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 lakhs do not need to pay any taxes<\/a><\/strong> under the <strong>new regime<\/strong> for the financial year 24-25 during AY 2025-26. You can opt out of the Old regime via Form 10-IEA details in ITR-1.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, one would think, since my income is less than 12 lakhs, I do not need to file for ITR as there are no tax deductions for me. On the contrary, filing an ITR provides you with many benefits regardless of whether you are liable for any tax or not. Here are the common benefits that you receive while filing for ITR.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Claim TDS\/TCS Refunds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Imagine you are a freelancer with an income of \u20b910,000 per month. Let&#8217;s say that the government takes 10% of your income, leaving you with \u20b99000 for the month. Does this mean that you have lost your precious hard-earned \u20b91000? Yes and no. This deduction is known as TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and can be claimed by filing ITR. Therefore, the money deducted is returned to you and not gone for good.<\/p>\n<p>TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is another tax deducted when you buy a product and can be reclaimed through filing for ITR. Now, that&#8217;s a benefit you don&#8217;t want to miss out on!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Proof of Income<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those who have applied for loans and credit cards must have been required to submit proof of income for the repayment of the loan. When in need of loans of huge amounts, the proof of income needs to be authentic and certified. Filing ITR grants you the benefit of providing it as proof of income for loans and credit cards, as it shows the borrower&#8217;s capability for repayment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Visa Processing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ITR filing document helps to speed up the visa processing, resulting in a smooth and easy procedure. This is a major benefit for people who may need to apply for visas soon.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Avoid Penalties<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not paying taxes on time leads to penalties, which, unfortunately, cannot be reclaimed. Through filing ITR, you can ensure that you are paying your taxes on time and thus avoid penalties and end up not paying extra.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_Required\"><\/span><strong>Documents Required\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The documents required digitally while filing for ITR are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PAN card, Aadhar card &#8211; <\/strong>used to register in the portal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Form 16<\/strong> &#8211; provided by the company where you work at the end of the financial year<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bank account details<\/strong> &#8211; including all transactions<\/li>\n<li><strong>TDS certificates\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Investment proofs<\/strong> &#8211; including land, car, house, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Form 26AS\/AIS (pre-filled)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Form 16, 10-IEA (old regime)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> LTCG statements<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Form 10BA (80GG rent)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25613253 \" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/accountant-calculating-profit-with-financial-analysis-graphs-1-300x200.webp\" alt=\"itr\" width=\"513\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/accountant-calculating-profit-with-financial-analysis-graphs-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/accountant-calculating-profit-with-financial-analysis-graphs-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/accountant-calculating-profit-with-financial-analysis-graphs-1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/accountant-calculating-profit-with-financial-analysis-graphs-1-750x500.webp 750w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/accountant-calculating-profit-with-financial-analysis-graphs-1.webp 889w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Mistakes_to_Avoid_while_Filing_ITR\"><\/span><strong>Common Mistakes to Avoid while Filing ITR<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two approaches when filing ITR: one is to hire a chartered accountant to handle the procedure, while the other is to file individually. When doing it by yourself, it doesn&#8217;t hurt much to be a bit cautious and look out for these common mistakes to avoid while filing ITR:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Choosing the wrong ITR form<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As stated above, make sure to select the right ITR form to avoid rejections while filing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Not reporting all sources of income<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Interest gained from the FD<\/li>\n<li>Income gained from a mutual fund investment<\/li>\n<li>Capital gains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Missing Tax-saving declarations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You need to read and understand each declaration that appears in the filing process so that you do not miss any of them, and thus result in false declarations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Not E-verifying ITR<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The filing process requires you to e-verify, and if not done, will lead to a definite rejection of the application.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Due_Dates_Penalties\"><\/span><strong>Due Dates &amp; Penalties<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ITR filing usually starts by April and ends by July. Therefore, for individuals, the last date for filing ITR is <strong>July 31st<\/strong>. This can be extended as well. Remember to file for ITR before the said date to avoid penalties for late filing. The usual\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">penalty amount ranges from\u00a0<strong>\u20b91000 to \u20b95000,<\/strong> which depends solely on the individual&#8217;s income<\/span>. Mark your calendars to avoid penalties and to have a smooth filing process, especially if you are expecting returns from deductions like TCS and TDS.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_To_File_ITR_Or_Not_To%E2%80%A6\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion: To File ITR Or Not To&#8230;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By now, you must have an understanding of whether filing ITR is a boon or a bane. The benefits and relevance of the ITR outdo the misconceptions prevalent about filing ITR. The bottom line is that this is the ultimate proof of being a tax-paying citizen of India, with the added benefit of getting back extra taxes that you had to pay.
