On hearing the name of the tax, the sweat of the good is left. This is the story of every year that as soon as the date of filling ITR comes near, we start searching for CA. Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the CBDT has extended the last date for filing Income Tax Return (ITR) for the financial year 2019-20 till 30 November 2020. In such a situation, we have enough opportunity to learn how to fill the ITR by ourselves. This is hardly a 15-minute job.

Here we are going to tell how the online ITR can be filled for the employed people. However, to understand this, you can also visit the website of the Income Tax Department www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, where the whole process is present.
