With the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline extended to september 15, taxpayers have less than 10 days left. To make the process smoother, the Income Tax Department has released mobile apps that simplify filing, especially for salaried individuals, pensioners, and small taxpayers.
1. Two Official Apps to File ITR
The government has launched:
- AIS App (Annual Information Statement App)
- Income Tax Department App
These apps allow users to file ITR directly from their smartphones, reducing dependency on desktops or intermediaries. They are designed for simple income profiles like salary, pension, or small business income.
2. Easy Login and Access
Taxpayers can log in using:
- Aadhaar ID
- PAN number
- Password
Once logged in, you can access pre-filled information collected from companies, banks, and mutual funds, making data entry quick and reducing errors.
3. Pre-Filled Data for Faster Filing
The apps provide access to:
- Annual Information Statement (AIS)
- Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS)
These sections contain all pre-filled financial data, helping taxpayers check and verify details without manually collecting documents.
4. Helps You Choose the Right ITR Form
Confused about which ITR form to use? The apps guide you based on your income type:
- Salary
- Pension
- Capital gains
- Other income sources
This ensures that you file the correct form, avoiding errors and potential notices from the tax department.
5. Add or Correct Missing Details
If any information is incorrect or missing, you can manually update it in the app. Examples include:
- Interest from fixed deposits
- Rental income
- Other miscellaneous income
This flexibility ensures your return is accurate before submission.
6. E-Verification and Instant Submission
Once your ITR is ready, you can complete e-verification via:
