10 benefits of filing ITR

Due to the timely filing of ITR, you do not risk getting a notice from the Income Tax Department after buying or selling property, depositing a large amount in a bank, investing in a mutual fund.

3- Bank loan, credit card convenience:- If you want to take a loan from a bank, ITR is the best proof to prove your income. Banks ask for a 2-3 years income tax return from a customer for a home or car loan. If you have a copy of ITR, it becomes very easy to get a loan.
