What is ITR-U?
With ITR-U a taxpayer can report any income which he could not declare in previous returns. This option is also available to all those who have not submitted a timely, late, or revised ITR. Also if the ITR has not been closed in any financial year then this facility can be used there as well.

What Precautions Should You Take While Filing Income Tax Return?
- Ensure that other details like PAN, address, e-mail address, bank account details, etc., are correct in the pre-filled data.
- Download AIS and Form 26AS and check the actual TDS / TCS / tax paid. If you see any discrepancy, you should reconcile it with the Employer / Tax Deductor / Bank.
- Compile and carefully study the documents to be referred to when filing your ITR, like bank statements/passbooks, interest certificates, receipts to claim exemptions or deductions, Form 16, Form 26AS (Annual Information Statement), investment proofs, etc.
- Identify the correct return for you (from ITR-1 to ITR-7).
- Provide all the details in the return such as total income, deductions (if any), interest (if any), taxes paid/collected (if any), etc.
- No documents are to be attached along with ITR-1.
- e-File the return of income on or before the due date. The consequences of delay in filing returns include late filing fees, losses not getting carried forward, and deductions and exemptions not being available.
- After filling in all the details in the return of income and after confirmation of all the details, one can proceed with filing the return of income.
- After e-Filing the return, e-Verify it.
