Filing of Income-tax return is mandatory for every person whose income (before considering certain exemptions and deductions) exceed maximum exemption limit. With effect from Assessment Year 2020-21, it is mandatory for every person, who is not required to furnish return of income under any other provision of section 139(1), to file return of income if during the previous year he:
1. Has deposited an amount (or aggregate of amount) in excess of Rs. 1 crore in one or more current account maintained with a bank or a co-operative bank.
2. Has incurred aggregate expenditure in excess of Rs. 2 lakh for himself or any other person for travel to a foreign country.
3. Has incurred aggregate expenditure in excess of Rs. 1 lakh towards payment of electricity bill.
4. Fulfils such other conditions as may be prescribed.
-
- Even when the advance taxes have been paid, the same need to be reported to the Department through Income-tax return filing procedure.
- This completes the self-assessment of income and taxes are computed on the same.
- Failure to file the income tax return will attract levy of penalty.
- Form 26AS reflects the taxes which have been reported by the third party to whom the taxes have been deposited or by whom the taxes have been deducted.
- Income-tax return helps in reconciling the records as submitted by assessee and as per Income-tax department records.
- Assessee claims refund.
6. TDS has been deposited under wrong PAN. How can I claim that TDS?
TDS credit must be checked in Form 26AS before filing of Income-tax return. If it is not reflected correctly there may be several reasons like:
- TDS is not deposited by deductor
- TDS is deposited but return is not filed by deductor
- TDS is wrongly deposited under some other PAN
- TDS credit is not updated in Form 26AS
- Any other reason
When deductor deposits TDS under some wrong PAN, he has to make correction in the statement for PAN. In some cases, online PAN correction can also be made.
Assessee can claim TDS in Income-tax return after that PAN correction.
