Peace of Mind Through Proper ITR Filing: A Step-by-Step Guide
Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) is not just a legal obligation — it’s a crucial step toward financial clarity and peace of mind. Whether you’re a salaried individual or a business owner, timely and accurate ITR filing protects you from penalties, improves your financial credibility, and opens doors for loans or visas.
In this guide by Unlock Digi Services, we’ll break down the ITR process into simple steps and explain how you can file it correctly and confidently.
Why Filing ITR Matters for Everyone
Legal Compliance
Filing ITR is mandatory for individuals and businesses exceeding certain income limits. Non-compliance can lead to penalties and legal scrutiny.
Claim Refunds
If you’ve paid excess tax, you can only claim it back by filing your ITR. Why leave your money with the government?
Loan & Visa Applications
Banks and embassies often require ITR documents for processing loans and visa applications. ITRs act as proof of income.
Financial Discipline
ITR filing builds a habit of tracking your income, expenses, and savings — essential for long-term wealth building.
Who Should File ITR?
- Salaried individuals earning above ₹2.5 lakhs per annum
- Freelancers, gig workers, and consultants
- Businesses or startups
- NRIs with taxable income in India
- Individuals claiming TDS refund
- Anyone holding foreign assets or earning overseas income
ITR Filing: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather the Required Documents
Start by collecting all necessary documents:
For Individuals:
- PAN Card
- Aadhaar Card
- Form 16 (from employer)
- Bank statements
- TDS certificates
- Investment proofs for tax-saving
- Rent receipts (for HRA)
For Businesses:
- Profit & Loss statement
- Balance Sheet
- GST returns
- TDS deducted and collected
- Digital signature (if applicable)
Step 2: Choose the Correct ITR Form
The form you file depends on your income source:
- ITR-1 (Sahaj): Salaried individuals with income up to ₹50 lakh
- ITR-2: Individuals with capital gains, foreign income, etc.
- ITR-3: Professionals or business owners
- ITR-4 (Sugam): Presumptive income from business/profession
Note: Choosing the wrong form can lead to rejection of your ITR. Let our experts help you choose the correct one!
Step 3: Log in to the Income Tax Portal
Visit the official Income Tax e-filing portal and follow these steps:
- Update contact details for OTP-based validation
- Use your PAN to register/login
- Link your Aadhaar for verification
Step 4: Pre-Validate and Link Bank Account
Ensure your bank account is pre-validated and linked to PAN. This is crucial for receiving any refunds directly to your account. This step ensures your bank account is ready to receive any refunds from your ITR filing, speeding up the process.
Step 5: Fill in the Details Carefully
You can choose manual filing or upload a JSON file using ITR utility tools. Double-check the following:
- Personal info
- Income details
- Deductions under 80C, 80D, etc.
- Tax computation
- Bank account details
Note: Ensure there are no mismatches with Form 26AS or AIS (Annual Information Statement)
Step 6: Verify and Submit Your Return
After filling in the form, review your ITR summary. Then submit and verify using:
- Aadhaar OTP
- Net banking
- Digital Signature Certificate (for companies)
Note: Verification must be done within 30 days of submission.
Step 7: Track ITR Status
Post-submission, you can track your return and refund status via the dashboard. Keep a copy of the Acknowledgment
(ITR-V) for records.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using wrong ITR form
- Missing deadline (usually July 31 for individuals)
- Not reporting all income (e.g., FD interest, crypto gains)
- Claiming wrong deductions
- Not verifying the return
