📖 About the Video
In this video, we explain who should file ITR, which ITR form to choose, and the real mistakes that trigger tax notices and 200% penalties. A salaried employee from Bengaluru got a ₹1 crore tax notice just for filing the wrong ITR form. Another taxpayer lost ₹55,000 in carry-forward losses because of a late filing. And someone received a government notice for not reporting just ₹5,000 of bank interest. These are real cases — and all were avoidable.
The Income Tax Department now uses AI to match data from banks, brokers, foreign transactions, and overseas accounts. You can no longer casually ignore tax filing.
This video covers everything — whether filing is mandatory for you, which ITR form applies to your income type, the basic exemption limits under old and new regime, and how to avoid the most common filing mistakes.
