You have until July 31, 2023, to file Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the assessment year 2023-24. Filing ITR is essential regardless of your income. Non-reporting of capital losses in ITR prevents the carry-forward of a loss to the following year. Moreover, late or non-filing ITR attracts interest and late fees, ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000. ITR filing is also essential to claim a refund for the tax deducted at source (TDS). Further, it aids in visa and loan applications.
