Service-specific answers
Income Tax Return Filing FAQs
Requirements can change with facts, jurisdiction and authority instructions.
Which ITR form should I use?
It depends on entity type, income heads, residential status and other conditions. Using an ineligible simplified form can make the return defective.
Does filing guarantee a refund?
No. A refund depends on verified tax credits and the department's processing.
Is e-verification compulsory?
A return generally must be verified through an accepted method to be treated as validly filed.
