Filing of Income Tax Returns is a legal obligation of every person whose total income for the previous year has exceeded the maximum amount that is not chargeable for income tax under the provisions of the I.T. Act, 1961. Income Tax department has introduced a convenient way to file these returns online using the internet. The process of electronically filing the Income Tax returns is e-filing of returns.
Department of Income Tax has been taking important steps to computerize various Returns being filed with them. TDS was the beginning and now, they have introduced electronic filing for Annual Income Tax Returns that are required to be filed.
The Department has a plan to introduce eReturn for all the forms namely, Form 1, 2, 3, 2C, 2F, 3A, 16AA AND 2D. However, keeping in mind the enormity of changes and also to make it readily acceptable to the Assessees, Form 1 has to be to be compulsorily filed in the electronic format for the Assessment Year 2006-07. The methodology for efiling and its concept will be discussed elsewhere, but it is suffice to say that the change in the methodology has far reaching effects. The previously used Form 1 has undergone changes to be in sync with electronic format.
