Some Useful Tips
Returns generated from private software should not be considered as
blindly accurate and final;
Validation Utilities provided by ITD is more or less control oriented. Final Computation needs to be physically
verified before filing;
Do not try to over-ride the utilities provided to suit the same as per the requirements since these are control
based
24/04/2015Compiled by CA Avinash Rawani118
Some Useful Tips
Returns are generally prepared by Staff and uploaded, ensure its correctness before uploading;
Ensure sufficient and accurate back up is available for future requirements.. Not to depend much on the system,
better to have one hard copy;
Delete the workings created from time to time to ensure that the latest figures are only available which were
used for the returns filing.

E-AssessmentsNew Utilities Compute Tax
Liability based on the information filled..

properly;
Days will come in the near future, where we will
have E-assessments;
Reports of un-reconciled transactions in the Form 26AS submissions and Returns details
submitted will only be the source of scrutiny;
