E filing of income tax You have just three more days to file your income-tax returns. If you want to do it without much bother, you should consider efiling. It's simple if you take care of a few things. You need to go to the website incometaxindiaefiling .gov.in, and download the relevant returns form (ITR 1 to 7) based on your sources of income. For instance, if your only sources of income are salary /pension, interest income and income/loss from one house property, then you can use ITR 1. The website explains who should use which. Select the Excel version of the form. Very importantly, enable Macros in the form. People often fail to do that because the 'Enable Macros' messaging is not very clear on the website/form. A help file that gets downloaded with the Excel form explains how to enable Macros.
If Macros are not enabled, many of the required fields in the form do not perform their required functions. Read other instructions on the website and then fill up all the mandatory fields in all the forms. Particularly ensure that you have written your PAN number correctly. Pressing the 'Calculate Tax' button on the form tells you how much tax you need to pay or how much you need to be refunded (you don't need to know anything about tax rates). If you have taxes to pay, then these can be paid online through the incometaxindia .gov.in website. Once that's done, details of the counterfoil of the tax paid challan must be entered in the Excel form. Pressing the 'Validate' button on top of each form tells you whether you have filled up the forms correctly. Once validated , press the 'Generate XML' button on the top right of the form, and an XML version of the form gets created on your PC. Now go once again to the efiling website, and choose.
