Income Tax for AY 2013-14, FY 2012-13 : filing Income Tax Returns made compulsory for those earning below Rs.5.00 lakhs


Breaking News : The last date of filing Income Tax extended upto 5.8.2013, e-file your return now


The Central Bureau of Direct Taxes (CDBT) today in a surprise circular said that those having income below Rs.5,00,000.00 will also have to file returns for the Financial year 2012-13 for the year ending 31.03.2013.  The article appeared in Times of India, Mumbai edition today which you can read here.    This is a very surprise move because for the earlier two AYs 2011-12 and AY 2012-13, the Income Tax department had exempted those who were earning less then Rs.5.00 lakhs from filing any returns. However with just 8 days remaining for the deadline, Income Tax department is expected to extend the deadline in lieu of rush on the above order.  

I have already give a tutorial for e-filing Income Tax returns offline which you can refer to here.Today I am giving a tutorial for step by step guide for e-Filing the Income Tax Returns for A.Y. 2013-14 online. This method is easier then the offline method and can be used if you are salaried employee. Do remember to keep your PAN Card Number, Form 16 and Bank A/C details ready for proceeding with it.

1. Go to the Income Tax departments e-filing site here.  Register yourself as per below pic.  Remember to give a proper password.

    1. Sir,first kindly verify whether you employer has filled in the correct details while file the quarterly return. If the tax payable amount is indeed correct, Pay the tax via Challan 280 at any nationalized bank counter and then fill in the return

      You can get a printout of Challan 280 here >http://law.incometaxindia.gov.in/dittaxmann/incometaxrules/pdf/challanitns-280.pdf
      hope this helps (c)

    1. Hi Nagesh yes your friend can fill the IT returns for any AY. Just choose the Assessment Year you want to fill in from the dropdown box in Figure 5 above. As long as your friend has already paid his taxes there shouldnt be any problem
