Filing an ITR (Income Tax Return) has become very important. Whether your salary is less than the limit or more. It is necessary to have some documents while filing an ITR. So that there is no problem in future. First, let's see the list of these documents.

Which documents are necessary

If you have to file an ITR, then collect the documents mentioned below.

Form 26AS or Form 16A will be required.

If you pay rent, then a rent agreement will be required for this, so that HRA can be claimed.

You will also have to submit proof of tax deduction.

If you have income from abroad, then you will have to give a foreign bank account statement for this.

Along with this, if you have ever filed an ITR before, then proof will be required.

Along with this, you will have to give a salary slip for income proof.

For whom ITR filing is not necessary?

The exemption limit in the old tax regime is Rs 2.5 lakh and the exemption limit in the new tax regime is Rs 3 lakh. This limit is related to ITR filing. If a person's income is more than this, then he will have to file an ITR.

At the same time, under section 87A, if the taxable income of a person or citizen is not more than 5 lakhs, then he gets the entire amount as a refund. Its maximum limit is Rs 12,500.

Apart from this, if the income of a senior citizen (age more than 60 years and less than 80 years) is less than Rs 3 lakh and the income of a super senior citizen (age 80 years or more) is less than Rs 5 lakh in a financial year, then they do not need to file a return.
