Income Tax: 3 deadlines you shouldn't miss this month

Income Tax: If you are a salaried employee and taxpayer, there are certain deadlines you need to keep in mind to ensure that you don't end up paying a hefty penalty. The Income-Tax department has already released a list of important dates which taxpayers should know for 2020. The Income Tax calendar was released recently and includes all the income tax related deadlines for the current year.

Out of those dates, as many as three fall in January itself. This means that your work starts right away. By following these deadlines you can avoid penal consequences of late filing of income tax returns (ITR) or tax deducted at source (TDS) returns. They will also help you collect your TDS certificates.
