Benefits of Filing Your Income Tax Return
While it's
mandatory to file your tax return if your income exceeds the specified limit
under the Income Tax Act of 1961, there are several advantages to doing so:
1.
Avoid Penalties
Filing your return on time helps you avoid penalties. New rules (Section 234F)
can impose fines up to INR 10,000 for late filing. If you miss the July 31
deadline, you could face a penalty of INR 5,000, which can increase to INR
10,000 if you file after December 31.
2.
Prevent Tax Notices
Failing to file your return can attract tax notices from the Income Tax
Department, which can be troublesome. Filing on time helps you steer clear of
these notices and any related issues.
3.
Claim TDS Refunds
If your employer or client has deducted Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) from your
payments, filing your return allows you to claim a refund for any excess TDS.
This can result in getting back money that was overpaid.
4.
Easier Loan Approval
Banks
and financial institutions often require your income tax return when you apply
for a loan. A properly filed return demonstrates your financial stability and
makes it easier to get your loan approved.
5.
Carry Forward Losses
Filing your return on time allows you to carry forward any business or capital
losses to future years. These losses can be used to offset future income,
potentially reducing your tax burden in subsequent years.
