Benefits of Filing Income Tax Return on Time

The advantages of filing IT returns are:

Loans: Bank loans like education loans, vehicle loans, personal loans, can be availed easily as they require the last three year’s IT returns.

Visa: As Immigration centres scrutinise many documents and IT returns, proofs are a mandatory document for visa applicants.
