The information included in the ITR should be specific to a certain fiscal year, which runs from April 1 through March 31 of the following year.

The financial institution will check your ITR to determine your eligibility before approving the loan. Consistently late reporting can portray you as irresponsible and reduce the bank&#8217;s confidence in your ability to make payments on time.<br \/>\nHence, it is important not only to pay all taxes on time but also to keep detailed copies of all your ITRs. Regular and well-kept records help to process loans and loans from financial institutions faster and more efficiently.<\/li>\n<li><b>Tax Refund: <\/b>There are certain investments that involve Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), i.e. the provider deducts relevant taxes from your income\/earnings before paying you the amount. However, if your total income falls under the tax-exempt bracket, you have to claim refund of the TDS paid.<\/li>\n<li><b>Chances of Errors : <\/b>Rushing to file your ITR at the last minute can open up the possibility of errors and mistakes that can lead to your returns being rejected by the department. Timely filing of ITR was considered as one of the mistakes that could lead to error.<\/li>\n<li><b>Legal Consequences: <\/b>If you fail to file ITR on time, you will be liable to pay certain amount as penalty to the department.<\/li>\n<li><b>Carry forward losses: <\/b>According to income tax rules, taxpayers can carry forward losses to the next accounting period if they file their income tax return before the deadline.
