Proof of Income & A Financial Record
ITR serves as a legal proof of your income and an useful financial document. It is an employment proof also.

Easy Loan Approval
Banks demand your past ITRs at the time of giving loans or credit cards. It helps them evaluate your credit worthiness. Non-availability may reject the loan application

Quick VISA Processing If you are travelling overseas, income proof would be required. Most embassies & consulates require your tax returns for the past couple of years at the time of the visa application.

Higher Life Insurance Cover ITR acts as a proof of income and proper compliance of tax laws, which helps you get a higher life insurance cover, whenever required.

Claim Tax Refunds ITR would help you claim the refunds of the excess TDS deducted on your income and investments. It is compulsory to file ITR to seek refunds.

Set off & Carry Forward Losses It is mandatory to file ITR, to carry forward the un- adjusted past losses, and set them off with the income in the subsequent years.

Avoid Penalties Ensure that you file ITR every year before the due date to avoid unnecessary penalties.
