Comprehensive Guide to ITR Filing for Salaried Individuals

Filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) is a fundamental responsibility for every salaried individual in India whose income exceeds the basic exemption limit. Understanding the nuances of the Income Tax Act can help you not only comply with the law but also optimize your tax liability.

Old vs. New Tax Regime: Choosing the Right Path

Since the introduction of the New Tax Regime under Section 115BAC, taxpayers have the option to choose between two systems. For the Assessment Year 2025-26, the New Tax Regime is the default option.

  • The Old Tax Regime: Allows you to claim various exemptions and deductions like 80C (PPF, ELSS), 80D (Health Insurance), HRA, and Home Loan interest. Beneficial for those with significant investments.
  • The New Tax Regime: Offers lower tax rates but requires you to forego most deductions. However, it now includes the Standard Deduction of ₹50,000 (increased to ₹75,000 in Budget 2024).

Maximizing Savings through Deductions

Salaried individuals have several avenues to reduce their taxable income under the Old Regime:

  • Section 80C: Deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh for PPF, ELSS, LIC, and home loan principal.
  • Section 80D: Deduction for health insurance premiums for self and parents.
  • HRA Exemption: Claim exemption on rent paid under Section 10(13A).
  • Section 24(b): Interest on home loans for self-occupied property up to ₹2 lakh.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Ignoring Interest Income: Interest from savings and FDs is taxable and now tracked via AIS.
  • Incorrect HRA Claims: Claiming HRA without valid rent receipts or the landlord's PAN.
  • Not Disclosing Multiple Form 16s: If you changed jobs, you must combine income from both employers. Failure to do so often results in a massive tax demand later.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common salaried tax queries.

Is ITR filing mandatory if my income is below ₹5 lakh?
Filing is mandatory if your total income before deductions exceeds the basic exemption limit (₹2.5 lakh in the old regime, ₹3 lakh in the new). Even if your tax is zero, you must file if you cross these thresholds.
Can I change my tax regime every year?
Yes. Salaried individuals who do not have business income can choose between the Old and New tax regimes every year at the time of filing their ITR.
What happens if I miss the July 31st deadline?
You can file a "Belated Return" until December 31st. However, you will have to pay a late fee (₹1,000 to ₹5,000) and interest on any unpaid tax.
Can I claim HRA if I live with my parents?
Yes, you can claim HRA by paying rent to your parents, provided they own the property and include the rent as income in their own ITR.
