Be careful while filing ITR
Taxpayers should file their ITR carefully and avoid some common mistakes such as forgetting to verify their ITR, and selecting the wrong assessment year.
It is necessary to verify ITR
Forgetting to verify this while filing income tax return is a common tax filing mistake. Taxpayers often realize this mistake only when they receive a notice from the Income Tax. Rectifying this mistake can be time consuming as well as costly. Currently, taxpayers have 30 days after submitting the ITR form to verify it.
Apart from this, many taxpayers also get confused between assessment year and financial year. This too should be filled with care. Remember that the assessment year always comes after the financial year. You need to select Assessment Year 2023-24 for current tax filing.
