Overview
What is income tax return filing?
Income tax return filing is the process of reporting income, tax paid, deductions, exemptions and final tax payable or refund claim to the Income Tax Department.
ITR is a yearly income and tax statement
The return connects income details with tax credits, deductions and refund or payable position. It also creates an acknowledgement record that may be required for loans, visa, tenders and financial documentation.
