ITR filing FY 2024-25: Dont 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.

Failure to report may lead to notices for information mismatch and potential delays in refund processing.
