Here are some key things to watch out for when filing your ITR for 2024:

Gather All Necessary Documents: Make sure you have all your income statements, deduction proofs, and other relevant documents ready before you start the filing process.
Not Keeping Records: Maintain records of all documents, receipts, and proofs related to income, investments, and deductions. These may be required for verification or in case of any future tax scrutiny.
Double-Check Personal Information: Ensure that your name, address, PAN, and bank account details are correct. Any discrepancies here can cause issues.
Accurate Income Reporting: Include all sources of income, such as salary, rental income, interest from savings, and investments. Omitting any income can lead to penalties.
Correctly Claim Deductions and Exemptions: Be thorough in claiming eligible deductions under various sections like 80C, 80D, etc. Incorrect claims can result in rejections or legal troubles.
Match TDS Details with Form 26AS: Verify that the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) details in Form 16 match with those in Form 26AS. Any mismatch can lead to discrepancies in your tax calculation.
Choose the Right ITR Form: Select the appropriate ITR form based on your income sources. Using the wrong form can invalidate your return.
Not Verifying the ITR: Failure to verify may render the filing invalid. Don’t miss this step or your return will be considered invalid.
Verify Before Submission: Always recheck your return for any errors before submitting it.
Consult a tax professional if needed. Don’t be reluctant to seek help.

Relief from payment of Advance Tax

As per Section 208, every person whose estimated tax liability for the year is Rs 10,000 or more, shall pay his tax in advance, in the form of advance tax. But, Section 207 gives relief from payment of advance tax to a resident senior citizen. Thus, a resident senior citizen, not having any income from business or profession, is not liable to pay advance tax.
Income tax deduction on interest on bank deposits

Section 80TTB of the Income Tax Act allows tax benefits on interest earned from deposits with banks, post offices or cooperative banks. The deduction is allowed for a maximum interest income of up to Rs 50,000 earned by the senior citizen. Both the interest earned on saving deposits and fixed deposits are eligible for deduction under this provision.

Also, u/s 194A of the Income Tax Act, no tax is deducted at source (TDS) on interest payment of up to Rs 50,000 by the bank, post office or co-operative bank to a senior citizen. This limit is to be computed for every bank individually.
Tax benefits to medical insurance and expenditure

According to Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, senior citizens may avail a higher deduction of up to Rs 50,000 for payment of premium towards medical insurance policy. The limit is Rs 25,000 in case of non-senior citizens.

Further Section 80DDB of the Income Tax Act allows tax deduction on expenses incurred by an individual on himself or a dependent towards the treatment of specific diseases as stated in the act. The maximum deduction amount in case of a senior citizen is Rs 1 lakh (Rs 40,000 for non-senior citizen taxpayers).
