Even a small mismatch can lead to a notice or a request for clarification. Before clicking 'Submit', take 15 minutes to review these 8 areas: ✔ Supporting proofs for deductions and exemptions ✔ AIS & Form 26AS reconciliation ✔ Correct ITR form ✔ All sources of income disclosed ✔ Capital gains reported correctly ✔ Income from previous employer included (if applicable) ✔ File before the due date ✔ Verify your ITR after filing The fastest way to file isn't always the smartest.
