1. Hello,
   I am salaried person. I have invested Rs.10k in infrastructure bond in Dec 2012. But i didnot produce the receipt in my company. So in Form 16, this deduction is not shown.
   Now while filing returns, can i mention this amount and reduce by tax liability?
   Where should i show proof of investment?
   pls suggest.

   thanks,
   sandeep

   • Sandeep,

     Investment in infrastructure bonds will not give any tax benefit for financial year 2012-2013.This benefit was available till mar 12 only.

     • Similar to Sandeep case, I have approx 45000 MF which is not considered in Form16 as proof was not provided to account dept. But now to include them in filing return online can I attach them along with ITR- V, I will be sending to IT dept?

       Thanks,

27. I have filled my Income Tax return ORIGINAL once, then found there was payable tax or Rs 10/- inside, so paid the same with Challan 280 (under 300 – Self Assessment Tax) via online ICICI portal. So to include the same in ITR-V, I again filled my Income Tax return as REVISED. But later verifying same I found I made minor mistake in specifying Income other than 2885 instead 2855 leading a difference of 30/- but not leading to any further Payable Tax or Refund. Shall I revised it again just to correct the amount under field “Income Other that Salary”?

    Please advised, I am in confusion it at all required to revised submitted REVISED INCOME TAX RETURN for sake of updating amount not impacting any other thing like Payable Tax or Refund?

    Thanks a Ton.

    • Hello Tax Dost.. please advise what shall I do?
      Why you skipped response to me?, is there a big problem in revising RETURN 2nd time?

29. Hi,

    I invested on LIC on March month. Already my tax got deducted.
    So now while efiling IT , I updated the 80 CC section by referring the 16A form + LIC amount invested on March. So, refund amount is there, So do i need to send the LIC reciepts also alongwhile sending the efiled form to income tax office?

30. Hi Tax Dost,

    I have filed my IT returns for 2013, however i missed to send the signed ITR-V via post. I need to get a refund of 4000 for that year. If i send the Signed ITR-V, will it be accepted and will i get my refund for the year 2013.

    thanks, Prashanth

    • Yes it will be accepted.

31. Dear Tax Dost,

    I missed to file tax returns for the year 2012-13 i have paid tax Rs 35000 for that year which is refundable, how can i claim that money now please help me

    • Please file your tax return and claim your refund.

32. sir!
    i filed return on 20th July and sent ITR-V after signing. after a day i realized that I did not consider 1175/- deducted by SBI which was appearing in form 26AS. I paid self assessment tax on the FD income from SBI as per my tax slab. now, I want to file revised ITR and want the refund of 1400/- paid in excess of my liability.
    the real problem is i do not have ITR receipt number. can i not file revised ITR unless i get ITR-V receipt number? is there any way out of it?

    • Login to efilling site and down load the ITRV. acknowledgement number is reflected in ITRV

33. I have filled ITR 2011-12 and i have seen in 2014 but its was rejected and sign missing . then i can send again hard copy or i need to fill again and send to office for 2011 -12 now means 2014…

    • Please sign ITR V and send it again

34. Hi,

    I filled ITR with option of tax pay, as I had to pay extra tax rs. 4310 due to the reason that my new company had not deducted tax on my monthly income of March (joined in March). Now I paid the extra tax using challan 280 and SBI netbanking. Do I need to send the proof of transaction with ITR form to income tax department?

    Or just sending the ITR form which has tax liability of rs. 4310 on me will solve the purpose?

    Please suggest.

    • You are not required to send the copy of challan. Just mention this tax amount in your tax return.

      • I have already sent the ITR form to IT department. But I have checked my form 26 AS which shows the extra paid tax in Part C. Now do I need to file revised return ? Or should I wait for an acknowledgement from IT department? Please suggest

        Thanks,
        Purish

44. I took personal loan from The District co-operative Bank & paying EMI which includes the PA+interest ,will there is any provision of Tax deduction ,while filing my IT-Return ?

45. do we need to send any supporting documents (like bank statement, salary certificate, school fee reciept etc.) to income tax dpt Bangalore apart from the ITR-V.

    • No supporting document is required to be attached with your ITRV. You should keep them seperately filed with you. these supporting documents -like salary crtificate , bank statement etc may be required in case of any query of income tax department.

46. Hi,

Remaining amount of rupees 22 lakhs received on 11-04-16 and final reg was done on 11-04-16. My query is whether I should mention the same in my returns in July 2016 or in 2017 returns? I received money in two instalments in different financial years. Part reg done in march and remaining part (loan from bank) I got in April.
