Department has now introduced a facility in their e-filing site wherein ITR1/ TR4 forms are pre-filled by them based on the   information available with them through 26AS. This facility will be a boon for a salaried person/pensioner earning interest on deposits also.

The following details will be pre-filled by the Income Tax Department.

1. PAN Number, name and date of Birth

2. Address, Aadhaar number, mobile number and e-mail address

3. Tax paid, TDS and TCS details (From FORM 26AS)

4. Salary income, allowance and deductions (From Form 24Q)

5. House property details (From ITR of Previous Year)

6. Interest income & TDS (From 26AS)

7. Tax relief under Section 89

8. Bank account Details (From ITR of previous year)

9. Verification Details 

However, IT Department advises you to verify the pre-filled data carefully and add any other taxable income which is not pre-filled. Further, last date for filing of TDS statement and issue of TDS certificate by the deductor is 30th June, 2019 and 10th July, 2019 respectively. In case the TDS data or any other data is yet to be submitted by the deductor, taxpayers are expected to fill these details themselves.
