The 26AS will help you assess the TDS deducted by the employer over the period of the financial year. You only have to match the total TDS amount with the amount in 26AS to know whether there is any change in TDS cut by the employer and in 26AS.

– Furthermore, there are many investments and spending that are eligible to be claimed for deduction under various provisions such as 80C, 80D, 80E etc. (know about the deductions available here)

– Before filing the ITR, also make sure to include any non-salaried earnings you have made throughout the year. These earnings could be interest earned on Fixed Deposits (FD), income from rent on properties owned by you, and any other income which is taxable.

– Moreover, many times, employees get House Rent Allowance (HRA) from companies. To claim the HRA deduction, see that you add the rent receipts while filing the ITR.

– There is one last step to complete before you file the Income Tax Return.

If you are liable to pay more tax than the amount in your 26AS form, you have to pay the additional amount before filing ITR.  

– Lastly, when you are done with all these steps, file your income tax return.
