With the deadline for filing income tax returns (ITR) approaching, we a look at the significant changes in the process this year. We tell you how to zero in on the right form for filing your ITR this year, among other things.
Important Changes The deadline for filing ITR for Assessment Year (AY) 2020/21 by individual taxpayers has been extended to November 30, 2020. The last date for filing revised or late ITR for AY 2019/20 has also been extended to November 30. You can now claim new deductions under Section 80EEA for interest paid on loan for affordable housing and under Section 80EEB for interest paid on loan for an electric vehicle according to the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019.
In fact, you can now file ITR even without PAN. “The taxpayer can quote ‘Aadhaar’ number instead of ‘PAN’ where PAN has not been allotted in various places in the ITR. The amendment is in accordance with the interchangeability of PAN and Aadhaar introduced in the Finance Act (No. 2) Act, 2019,” says Archit Gupta, Founder and CEO, ClearTax.
