Benefits of Filing ITR -
- Seamless processing of loans- Financial institutions asks for ITR receipts of the previous year or years during a loan application. They consider this receipt to be a supporting document to a borrower’s income statement. Therefore, it is essential to file for ITR if an individual plans on securing a home or a car loan.
- Claiming refund- Any individual can claim a tax refund from the IT Department by filing ITR. This is highly beneficial to salaried and self-employed persons falling in a high-income bracket.
- Easy visa processing- ITR receipt is vital to process visa applications. The US embassy and others ask for this receipt to know more about an individual’s tax compliance. As this document acts as proof of an applicant’s income, the embassy will check the income details and ensure he/she is capable of taking care of travel expenses.
- Loss compensation- Any company and business can incur a loss at any time during a specific fiscal year. To compensate for the loss, companies need to file IT returns. By following this procedure, one can carry forward the tax losses in the coming year. However, assessees need to file ITR before the due date to claim the losses in the future.
- Avoid penalties- As mentioned earlier, it is mandatory for some individuals to file income tax returns. Timely filing ITR will help individuals and companies avoid hefty fines. If the annual income is not more than ₹5 lakhs, the IT Department levies a fine of ₹1000. The penalty can go up to ₹10,000 otherwise.

These investors might inquire about the specifics of your ITR in order to evaluate the business’s financial stability and profitability.
