ITR Filing 2025: The government has increased the last date for FY 2024-25 from 31 July 2025 to 15 September 2025. In such a situation, if you have not yet filed your ITR, then you should complete this work soon.
By filing ITR quickly, you can get refunds soon and the possibility of mistake also decreases. But to fill the ITR, it is important to take care of some special things. In such a situation, the first question arises whether ITR should file by yourself or get CA? Let’s know…
Decide ITR yourself from income source or get it done by CA
If you have to fill the ITR yourself or file it to CA, the decision depends on what your earnings are. If your income is from the job or the source of income is the same and the investment limited, then you can file an ITR by yourself. In such a situation, your TDS has been cut and you have got Form 16, then you can easily fill ITR by visiting the government’s website or income tax portal.
You have more than one income source like business, freelancing, rental income, earning from stock market or crypto and you do not have complete knowledge of tax laws. Along with this, if you want to plan tax saving better, then you should file an ITR from CA. Filing ITR is no longer difficult, especially if your income is directly. But if your income is complex or you do not know the rules of tax, then it will be prudent to take help of a CA.
Is it necessary to fill ITR?
If your annual income is ₹ 2.5 lakh or more in old tax regime, or ₹ 3 lakhs or more in the new tax regime, then it is mandatory for you to file ITR, whether you make any tax or not.
It is necessary to keep some documents ready before filing ITR. These include Form 16A (if they work), Form 26AS, Bank Statement, Investment details, information of TDS and other sources of income.
