Filine an income tax return (ITR) is mandatory for anybody earning an annual income of more than Rs 2,50,000.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the government declared July 24 as the National Income Tax Day. This is just six days before July 31, which is the last date for filing an income tax return (ITR). It is mandatory for anybody earning an annual income of more\u00a0than Rs 2,50,000 to file an ITR.

To begin with, you need to have a few documents in place – PAN card, bank account details, Form 16, Form 26AS and proof of investments, which are useful for tax filing.
