But Why Should You File ITR?📝📌
You might ask me "Hey Sayali, why should I bother filing my income tax return (ITR)? Is it really worth the effort?" Well, my friend, it absolutely is! Let me tell you why.
Refund Bonanza! 💰💸
If you're over the tax slab, you're likely to have paid excess taxes through out the year since it'd be deducted as per your entire income. But the part of your income you've used to pay fees, interest on certain loans, insurance premiums or certain investments could be tax free. So, ITR is your chance to politely ask the government to return the excess money to you, by providing proof.
Financial Credibility 💳✅
Filing your ITR is like having a shining badge of honor. It establishes your financial footprint, making it easier to prove your credibility when you apply for loans, mortgages, or even rent a swanky apartment. Filing ITR regularly can help you build a financial history, which can come handy in the long run. This is why it's important to file your NIL Returns, as well.
Visa Approvals ✈️🧳
Are you in your traveler girl/boy era? Then you absolutely need to file your taxes because ITR copies are the most acceptable income proof when applying for a visa, so they can really have a hand in speeding up your approval process.

Top Tax Filing Mistakes To Avoid
Mistake #1: The mysterious case of choosing the wrong form 📝
Filing for returns using an incorrect form will be considered defective and you might receive a notice to revise your returns. Your ITR filing could be considered as invalid if you do not respond to the notice within 15 days.
Mistake #2: The dreaded deadline dance 🕺💃
Delaying your ITR filing puts you on a crunch for time to gather documents, leaving ample room for mistakes. Technical glitches are likely to occur around the last date due to high volumes of online filing. Skip the trouble and late fee payment by filing your ITR well in advance.
Mistake #3: Rookie slip up of not verifying returns 🔒
Congratulations! You've successfully filed your tax return. But before you dust off your superhero cape, there's one more crucial step to take: verification. Don't fall into the trap of neglecting to verify your return. If you fail to verify your returns within 120 days of filing it online, it will be treated as invalid returns and you'll have to re-file your ITR.
