Frequently Asked Questions

question_icon

My income is already subject to TDS, do I need to pay further tax while filing ITR?

answer_icon

The TDS on the income may differ from the actual tax liability on the income earned. In general, TDS rates are a fixed percentage of the payments, while your income gets taxed at slab rates. In case the TDS is lower, you may need to pay the balance tax due. In case the TDS is high, you may claim a refund. In any case, while filing your ITR, you should aggregate the annual income from all sources and calculate the tax due/claim refund.


question_icon

Are there any interest liabilities on the tax due calculated on my annual income?

answer_icon

In a case where your tax payable before claiming TDS exceeds Rs 10,000, you may have an interest liability. Interest on interest is 1% per month calculated on balance tax. You can reduce your interest rate debt by paying your taxes in advance. You need to pay the balance tax and any interest benefits before you apply for the ITR.
You can avoid interest rates by adjusting your tax returns under 'taxable income' within a financial year.


question_icon

Has the due date for filing ITR extended for AY 2020-21?

answer_icon

The ITR submission date for AY 2020-21 is 10 January. Normal payment dates have been suspended due to the COVID-19 epidemic. However, in the event that you have a balanced tax payable in excess of Rs 1 lakh, you must pay by 31 July 2020. A failure to pay by that date makes you liable for penal interest at 1% per month. Penalty interest will add to interest rates if it exists on your taxable income.
