What details will be pre-filled in ITR?
The government wants to make the process of income tax compliance easy for the assessees. In order to do this, earlier the process of return filing was made easy for the individuals who were salaried employees and had to file ITR-1. To encourage all the individual assessees to file IT returns, Government has come up with a scheme of Pre–filled XML.
This pre-filled XML will auto-fill the personal information, information relating to TDS, TCS, taxes paid, salary income, interest income, etc. in the ITR. This will make it easy as a lot of information will be pre-filled and all remaining information will be required to be furnished.
One can download the pre-filled XML file after logging in on the e-filing website using valid login credentials. This downloaded .xml file can be used to prefill the data in offline JAVA as well as Excel utilities of ITR. It is advisable to download the latest ITRs.
Note: The ITR form no. (i.e ITR-1/ITR-2/ITR-3 etc.) should be the same for prefilled XML file and the excel or java utility which will be used.
Note All the pre-filled personal, income, and tax details should be verified and cross-checked in the pre-filled ITR before filing the return.
