ITR filing FY 2024-25: Keep THESE documents ready before you file your income tax returns
Taxpayers in the country are now gearing up for filing their income tax returns for the Financial Year 2024-25 i.e., assessment year 2025-26. Keeping the same thing in mind, prudent taxpayers should focus on gathering crucial documents ahead of the recently extended filing deadline of September 15, 2025. Once the relevant documents are gathered it will help in seamless submission of income tax details and filing of accurate returns. Below are seven key documents that you must keep ready when filing your income tax returns: A valid and operational Permanent Account Number (PAN) linked with your Aadhaar is mandatory for income tax purposes under Section 139AA of the income tax act. Furthermore, bank account details including account numbers and IFSC codes are essential for claiming and receiving refunds. Then we come to the significant tax deduction certificates and documents such as Form 16 (salary details) and Form 16A (non-salary TDS data) along with the consolidated Form 26AS. All these documents are extremely important. They are fundamental in nature. These documents holistically detail tax deducted at source (TDS) details, advanced tax paid and refunds. In addition to the Form 26AS, you should as a prudent taxpayer download your Annual Information Statement (AIS) and Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) by logging into the e-filing portal to verify income sources, deductions, dividend details and credits. You should also keep original receipts for investments made under Sections 80C, 80D, 80E, housing loan interest, rent agreements, insurance policy number details along with documented donations to charitable institutions such as hospitals, non-government organisations along with other similar institutions, especially under the old tax regime. Through your respective broker, asset management company or registrar, you should apply and request them to provide you with your capital gains statements, including details of equities, mutual funds, property sales and share buybacks. This will help your chartered accountant in calculating your total tax liability smoothly. If you are someone who has earned income or holds assets abroad then you must keep clear records such as bank account statements, Form 67 (used for claiming tax relief under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement or DTAA). Not on this, you should also keep complete details of foreign investments or property. These documents are crucial for accurate income tax calculation, filing and proper compliance with the law of the nation. Past year returns, audit report details (Form 3CB-3CD) along with reports of international or specified domestic transactions (Form 3CEB) are essential for audit applicable cases. As a well informed taxpayer you should verify Form 16 against Form 26AS and AIS, particularly for any mistakes, errors or omissions in pre-filled data. This is important because new excel and online filing utilities are now active for ITR-2 and ITR-3 along with a host of other important digital improvements on the official website of income tax.

Urban experts call for expansion of civic limits to include urbanised villages
While there has been general concurrence among urban planners and experts on the way the city's civic limits have been divided into five corporations , many argue that the municipal limits should have been expanded to include areas beyond today's civic limits that are urbanised. 'We seem to be trying to solve yesterday's problem and not tomorrow's. We are confronting this problem because we did not anticipate this years ago. We still do not seem to be addressing a ground reality that most of the new migrants into the city are settling outside the civic limits, urbanising those areas,' said urban expert Ashwin Mahesh, arguing for four more corporations beyond the civic limits, all to be brought under the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA). GBA has been notified to be the BBMP area only, with a promise to be expanded at a later stage. Initially, there was a proposal to include at least 25 urbanised villages beyond the civic limits in the GBA. However, that was put on hold. Sources said while GBA will be expanded, areas beyond the civic limits may be municipalised or kept under zilla panchayats and their representatives be given a seat at the GBA. Given the disparity in revenue generation capacity of the five corporations and the role of the Chief Minister-led GBA to bring in a balance through State grants, N.S. Mukunda of Bengaluru Praja Vedike, said that there was a need to develop a comprehensive ward development index which becomes an impartial and transparent yardstick to allocate funds. 'A corporation that may need money may elect an opposition party to that in power in the State, and this can create a situation where that corporation may be starved of funds and development. We should ideally avoid such situations. If an impartial development index becomes the yardstick, we can hope to achieve some balance over the next few years,' he said. Mr. Mahesh also said that given the wide disparity in area and population of these corporations, delimitation of wards will end up with unequal wards, a problem that already plagues the city. He said each corporation should be allowed to have its own delimitation exercise to ensure equal representation within that corporation. However, others oppose this argument. 'According to the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024, each corporation can have a maximum of 150 wards. To bring parity in the larger GBA area, we can ensure a corporation with a smaller population will have a lesser number of wards and those with a larger population more wards,' an official said.
