Taxpayers ke liye ek bahut hi zaroori Alert aur Khushkhabari hai! Income Tax Department ne ek naya 'nudge' system shuru kiya hai jahan taxpayers ko unke pending ITRs (Income Tax Returns) ko jaldi update karne ke liye bola ja raha hai. Agar aapne financial year 2019-20 se 2020-21 tak koi return file nahi kiya hai ya usmein koi galti reh gayi hai, toh yeh aapke liye ek sunhera Mauka hai. Is naye system ka sabse bada fayda yeh hai ki aapko pehle se bhare hue details (pre-filled data) milenge, jisse process bahut hi aasaan ho jayega. Department chahta hai ki log "Faceless Assessment" ke dauraan hone wali complications se bachein aur compliance ko badhawa dein.
Pehle Se Bhara Hua Data, Jhatka Kam!
Income Tax Department ne dekha hai ki kai log ya toh return file karna bhool jaate hain ya phir calculation mein gadbad kar dete hain. Ab is naye initiative mein, department aapko aapka saara transaction data, jaise ki bank interest, dividend, aur share market transactions, pehle se hi return form mein bhar kar dega. Isse galti hone ke chances kam ho jaate hain aur aapka time bhi bach jata hai. Yeh ek bahut hi 'user-friendly' kadam hai, jo compliance ko badhawa dega.
ITR Update Karne Ka Kya Mauka Hai?
Yeh 'Updated ITR' file karne ki suvidha ek bahut hi khaas provision hai jo Finance Act, 2022 ke tehat laya gaya tha. ITR-U (Updated Return) file karke, taxpayer apni income ko voluntarily declare kar sakte hain, jo unhone pehle miss kar di thi. Isse unhein future mein Income Tax notices aur high penalties se bachne ka ek bada Mauka milta hai. Aam taur par, Updated Return ko relevant Assessment Year (AY) ke end se 24 mahine ke andar file kiya ja sakta hai.
Purane Returns Ka Dhamaka Offer
Department ne khaas taur par 2019-20 aur 2020-21 financial years ke liye ITRs ko target kiya hai. Agar aapne in saalon ke liye koi return file nahi kiya hai, toh aap is suvidha ka fayda utha sakte hain. Department ka kehna hai ki kai baar data mismatch ho jata hai, aur ab is 'nudge' se taxpayers ko unki galti sudharne ka samay mil raha hai. Yeh step Faceless Assessment scheme ko zyada smooth banane mein madad karega.

Kaise Karein Updated ITR File?
Updated ITR file karna ab online bahut aasaan ho gaya hai. Aapko Income Tax ki official website par jana hoga aur ITR-U form bharna hoga. Department ne is process ko simplify karne ke liye kai resources bhi diye hain. Kuch zaroori baatein jo aapko dhyaan mein rakhni chahiye:
- Aapko Updated Return file karte samay ek extra penalty amount pay karna hoga, jo ki tax liability ka 25% ya 50% ho sakta hai, filing ki date ke hisaab se.
- Updated Return tabhi file ho sakta hai jab usse aapki total tax liability badh rahi ho ya aap koi naya income declare kar rahe hon.
- Aap Updated ITR file nahi kar sakte agar aap refund claim kar rahe hain ya pehle se claim kiye gaye refund ko badha rahe hain.
Income Tax Notices Se Bachne Ka Raasta
Yeh poora 'nudge' system isliye laya gaya hai taki taxpayers 'proactive' ban sakein. Agar aap khud hi apni galti sudhar lete hain aur pending tax liability with penalty pay kar dete hain, toh aapko aage chal kar Income Tax Department ke bade aur lambe-chaude notices se chutkara mil sakta hai. Yeh ek 'win-win' situation hai jahan government ka revenue badhega aur taxpayer ka compliance record saaf rahega. Jo log anjaane mein galti kar baithe the, unke liye yeh ek life-saver Mauka hai.
Kya aapne bhi apna ITR-U file kar diya hai? Agar nahi, toh kya aap is Mauke ka fayda uthayenge? Comment karke zaroor batayein.
