ITR Time Again : How To File IT Returns AY 2009-2010

This is the assessment year 2009-2010.
And the assessment is done for the Financial year 2008-2009.
Confused, right ? The confusion ends here.

Keep this aside, and the IT Returns filing for this year is simple and very much (well, almost) similar to last year.

This is how we filed returns last year.

Here is a copy paste from the above link:
Steps in Summary:
1. Go to IT site and register yourself using your PAN number
2. Fill up the excel utility (use form16 for reference) and generate the xml file
3. Upload the xml file to the IT site, in your login.
4. Get the ITR-V, download it, print it, sign on it.
5. Go with it to the IT office and get it stamped.
(The printed ITR-V should be stamped at the IT office within 15 days)

The step 5 is now changed. You need to complete the first 4 steps and then send the signed ITRV to the following postal address:
Income Tax Department , CPC, Post Bag No - 1, Electronic City Post Office, Bangalore - 560100, Karnataka,

This has to be sent BY ORDINARY POST within 30 days of submitting the data online.

Some useful points:
1. You need to fill the "assessing officer details". Find it here:

2. The excel utility that is needed at step2 is here:
https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/downloads.do
3. Some instructions to help filling it up is at the bottom of above link.
4. For filling up the excel sheet, you need to enable macro..
You would be prompted to do so when you open the excel sheet.
5. I happened to read somewhere that you should not fold the ITRV form while posting it. But nowhere in the Income Tax Site, it is mentioned so. But be cautious and dont tamper the BAR Code at the bottom right of the ITRV form.

NOTE: The details above are for IT filing in Bangalore. For other locations, steps 1 to 4 still remain the same. But you need to find the correct assessing officer detail and send it to the ITRV collection point in that location.

Happy Filing !
