Important Things to Do After Filing Your ITR (Income Tax Return)

Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) before the due date is a big achievement, but the process doesn’t end there. Many taxpayers think once the return is filed, the job is done. In reality, there are important steps to take after filing your ITR to avoid penalties, ensure refunds are processed smoothly, and stay compliant with the Income Tax Department.

In this blog, we will cover the top post-ITR filing tasks that every salaried individual, business owner, and professional must do.

1. Verify Your ITR

• Filing ITR is incomplete until you verify it.
• Verification can be done online through Aadhaar OTP, net banking, bank account, or by sending a signed ITR-V form to CPC, Bengaluru.
• If not verified within 30 days, your ITR will be considered invalid.

2. Check 26AS, AIS & TIS Statements

• After filing, cross-check your Form 26AS, AIS, and TIS with the details submitted.
• Any mismatch between your return and these records may trigger an Income Tax notice.

3. Track Your ITR Refund Status

• If you are eligible for a refund, log in to the Income Tax e-filing portal or NSDL refund status portal.
• Ensure your bank account is pre-validated and linked with PAN to receive the refund without delay.

4. Keep Acknowledgement & Documents Safe

• Always save your ITR-V acknowledgement and related documents such as Form 16, investment proofs, and capital gain statements.
• These are required for future audits, loan applications, or government verifications.

5. Update Personal & Bank Details

• If you change your mobile number, email, or bank account, update it in the income tax portal.
• This ensures you don’t miss any important notifications or refund intimation.

6. Plan for Advance Tax Payments

• If your annual tax liability exceeds ₹10,000, you are required to pay advance tax in installments.
• Check your liability and pay before the due dates to avoid interest under Section 234B & 234C.

7. Consult Your Tax Expert

• Post-filing is the best time to review tax planning for next year.
• Discuss with your consultant about investments, deductions, future plans, and compliance strategy to avoid stress during the next filing season.
