The month of March is coming to an end, and with this the opportunity to file your return of income, plan your taxes and other important taxation issues. We have stressed on this point quite number of times on the site, the sole reason behind this is to create awareness. We have listed down things to do immediately/ before 31st March 2011.

File your return of income for Financial Year 2008-09 and Financial Year 2009-10

This is the last opportunity given by the income tax department. In case you have not filed your return of income for the financial year 2009-10, you can still file the same before 31st March 2011. This is very important as because if you file it after 31st March 2011, the IT department can levy penalty on the same.

Further, for the Financial Year 2008-09, we request you to file your return before 31st March 2011. As after 31st March 2011, you can not file your return of income, even if you are ready to pay penalty.

Plan Your Taxes for Financial Year 2010-11

It’s the last opportunity to plan your taxes for financial Year 2010-2011 as the investment made upto 31st March 2011 would only be accounted for the financial year 2010-11.
