Electronic verification facility (e-Verify using EVC) is also available using which you can avoid the signing and sending of the ITR-Verification form to CPC Bangalore. Please refer to the user manual here on how to e-Verify the return.
Needless to mention that the quicker you submit your return and e-Verify using EVC / send the signed ITR-V (ITR-Verification) form to CPC, Bangalore, the faster your refund, if any, would be processed and credited to your bank account.
In case you have already e-Filed for Income Tax Return for AY 2016-17, kindly ignore this email.
Regards,
e-Filing Team,
- Total income exceeds Rs 2.5lakhs – If your total income for FY 2015-16 is more than Rs 2.5lakhs you should file your income tax return immediately. Its compulsory to file a tax return if your income exceeds this limit irrespective of whether you have paid income tax or not.
- Excess TDS deducted – If excess TDS has been deducted on your income, the only way to get a tax refund if by filing a return. You must aggregate income from all sources first. Now tax is calculated on the total income. Any TDS which is already deducted can be adjusted from total tax payable. If excess TDS is deducted there will be a refund situation. This usually happens when you forget to claim deductions via your employer and claim them while filing your tax returns.
- Those with foreign bank accounts, or assets, ESOPs- if you have any foreign bank accounts or have retirement accounts outside India. Or your employer has given you ESOPs for a company which is listed outside India; it is mandatory for you to file your tax return and report them.
Steps to take NOW –
- If you have already filed your income tax return, remember to VERIFY your return. Your return filing process is not complete unless you verify your tax return. Verification can be done via EVC code or aadhaar OTP or through your net banking account. Or by sending the ITR-V by post.
- If you have not e-filed, FILE SOON to receive refund faster. The income tax department has mentioned in the email that the sooner you file your return and verify it, the faster your refund shall be processed and credited to your bank account.
