Are you among those who hesitate to file their Income Tax Returns (ITR) due to various reasons? Or perhaps you're unsure about the process, especially if your income falls below the taxable threshold. Fear not! Alankit is here to simplify your tax filing journey and shed light on why filing ITR is essential, regardless of your income status.

Why File Income Tax Returns?

Many individuals wonder whether they should file their tax returns if their income doesn't exceed the basic exemption limit. However, filing ITR offers several benefits beyond just meeting legal obligations:

  • Easy Loan Approval: Whether you're applying for a vehicle loan or a home loan, having a history of filing ITRs enhances your credibility in the eyes of lenders.
  • Quick Visa Processing: Embassies and consulates often require copies of your tax returns for visa applications. Filing ITRs ensures smooth and swift processing of your visa applications.
  • Claim Tax Refund: If you're eligible for a tax refund, filing ITRs is necessary to claim it. It ensures that you receive any excess tax deducted from your income during the financial year.
  • Income & Address Proof: ITRs serve as official proof of your income and residential address, which may be required for various purposes, such as applying for a loan or renting a property.
  • Carry Forwarding of Losses: By filing ITRs within the due date, you can carry forward losses incurred during the financial year to offset future income, thereby reducing your tax liability.
  • Avoid Penalty: Failure to file ITRs on time can attract penalties imposed by the tax authorities. Filing your returns before the due date helps you avoid such penalties and ensures compliance with tax laws.
