Given below are some common mistakes made by the applicant when claiming 87A to avoid notices from the Income Tax department: 

  • Not filing the correct information: If the applicant is not filing the correct information in the ITR, then he or she has to face a notice from the official income tax department related to the incorrect information, which can further lead to penalties. So to avoid these types of situations, applicants should fill in all the details in the ITR correctly. 
  • Not filing the revised ITR. If there is any mistake in your ITR, then you should file a revised ITR under section 139(5) before the due date. This will help you avoid any penalties or notices from the income tax department. 
  • Most of the applicants whose ITR is getting rejected have not attached all the supporting documents, like Form 16, salary slips, tax-savings investments proof, and many more. 
  • If the applicant isn't responding to the ITR notices, then they can result in more penalties. So to avoid this type of situation, applicants need to file ITR correctly and enter all the details correctly.
