ITR filing FY 2024-25: Don’t make the mistake of not reporting tax exempt incomes such as PPF, gratuity; here's why

ITR filing FY 2024-25: Taxpayers must report exempt income, such as PPF interest and life insurance proceeds, in their ITR to ensure transparency and avoid future scrutiny. Disclosing these incomes, even though tax-free, helps explain the source of funds, especially for large receipts. Failure to report may lead to notices for information mismatch and potential delays in refund processing.
