ITR File Karne Se Pehle Kya-Kya Ready Rakhe?

ITR filing start karne se pehle ye documents ready rakho:

Important Documents Checklist

✅ PAN Card
✅ Aadhaar Card
✅ Form 16
✅ Salary Slips
✅ Bank Statement
✅ Savings Interest Details
✅ FD Interest Details
✅ Dividend Income Details
✅ Home Loan Interest Certificate (if applicable)
✅ AIS & Form 26AS

Jitna organized data hoga, utni easy filing hogi.





Sabse Pehle AIS Check Karna Bahut Zaroori Hai

Bahut log directly ITR filing start kar dete hain without AIS verification. Ye biggest mistake ho sakti hai.

AIS ka matlab hota hai Annual Information Statement.

Isme Income Tax Department aapki income ka complete data show karta hai jaise:

  • Salary income

  • Interest income

  • Dividend

  • TDS details

  • Mutual fund transactions

  • Share transactions

Agar AIS me koi income show ho rahi hai aur aap ITR me nahi dikhate, to future me notice aa sakta hai.

AIS Kaise Check Kare?

  1. Income Tax Portal login karo

  2. AIS option par click karo

  3. Saari income entries verify karo

  4. Wrong entries ho to feedback do


Form 26AS Verify Karna Kyun Important Hai?

Form 26AS aapka tax credit statement hota hai.

Isme show hota hai:

  • Employer ne kitna TDS deduct kiya

  • Bank ne TDS deduct kiya ya nahi

  • Advance tax payment

  • Self-assessment tax

Agar 26AS me TDS show nahi ho raha, to refund ya tax calculation me problem aa sakti hai.

Important Tip

ITR tabhi file karo jab 26AS updated ho.


Contact Details Aur Bank Account Verify Kare

ITR filing se pehle ye confirm karo:

✅ Mobile number active ho
