Your Income Tax Returns (ITR) filing deadline is looming and it will be ending in just a week’s time. Hoping and praying that the government extends the last date is not the best strategy to adopt. The last date for filing your tax returns is 31st December. If you have still not filed it, then this is the time to do it. If you file after this date, then you will be required to pay a fine or penalty.

ITR Verification 

You must know that your responsibility does not end with just filing your ITR. You also need to verify it. Until you do it, your filing is not considered complete and the return is incomplete. It is a general belief that once the ITR is submitted the filing is complete. The new taxpayers should especially keep this important detail in mind.  

The last step of ITR filing is not the submission but the verification.

Verification will not be complete on any discrepancy.
