Welcome to the world of e-filing, where tax compliance is just a few clicks away. Whether you’re a salaried professional, freelancer, business owner, or pensioner—e-filing your income tax return is now mandatory or highly recommended, depending on your income bracket. It’s faster, more accurate, and even lets you claim your refunds without any middleman. Still wondering, “Is it really necessary if TDS is already deducted?” Yes, it is! Filing helps you report your income, claim deductions (like under 80C, 80D), and most importantly, avoid penalties or scrutiny by the Income Tax Department.

FAQs
Form 26AS is a consolidated annual tax credit statement showing TDS, TCS, advance tax, refund, and high-value financial transactions linked to your PAN. It’s vital for verifying tax credits and ensuring accurate income tax return filing.
AIS is a comprehensive financial information statement containing details of various incomes, taxes paid, bank interest, dividends, transactions, and high-value dealings.
It is mandatory to verify your ITR (e-verify or physical ITR-V) within 30 days of filing. If not verified, the return is treated as invalid and considered not filed.
EVC (Electronic Verification Code) is a 10-digit alphanumeric code sent to your registered mobile/email for secure ITR verification. You can generate EVC through your bank account, ATM, demat account, or Aadhaar-linked OTP and use it to e-verify your return instantly.
