Income tax return due date: It is such a stressful experience when you fail to file your Income Tax Return (ITR) because of the lack of the right documents. But it does not necessarily have to be so. As the government has given a new deadline of September 15, 2025, for the Assessment Year 2025-26 (FY 2024-25), it is the most appropriate time to organize and avoid being in a rush and confusion.
Late or partial documents may lead to delays, omissions, and even penalties. To ensure that your filing of ITR goes without a hassle, prepare significant documents (Form 16, PAN card, Aadhaar card, investment proofs, home loan certificates, and insurance receipts) to make your ITR filing hassle-free. By making everything available, you not only save time but also claim all the deductions that you rightly deserve.
Don’t wait till the deadline beckons- take action now and file your ITR with confidence and peace of mind.
Here is the list of document that shoud be with you available on priority before you sit for filing ITR. Ensure you have these essential documents:
Selecting the correct ITR form is crucial for accurate filing. Here’s a quick guide:
In order to prevent errors and omissions, compare and contrast your income information with Form 26AS and the Annual Information Statement (AIS).
Don’t forget to declare revenues from all taxable sources. When your income does not constitute salary, house property, or business profits, it is to be reported as other Income.
Before you file your documents, always keep things in order and ensure you check your documents thoroughly to avoid errors and fines. Proper filing on time will help you get all the deductions you are entitled to and have peace of mind. It is not too late to start now; have your ITR ready in advance and submit it with confidence to ensure that your financial future is safe.
