Taxpayers urged to revisit ITRs before July 31 deadline
If you filed your income tax return (ITR) in May or June, it's important to check it again before the July 31 deadline.
New information might have been added by banks and other places, which could affect your taxes.
Here are some things to check: make sure your return is verified, look at your AIS, TIS, and Form 26AS for updates, check if you have any extra TDS credits, make sure your bank details are correct for refunds, review your return for any mistakes, keep your documents ready, and watch for any messages from the income tax department.
If you find any mistakes after verifying, you can file a revised return.
Taxpayers who filed their ITR in May or June should revisit it before the July 31 deadline.
Check if the ITR is e-verified to ensure it is valid.
Revisit AIS, TIS, and Form 26AS for any new updates.
Verify if additional TDS credits are available in Form 26AS.
Ensure bank details linked for refunds are correct and pre-validated.
