Income Tax Return Filing: Income Tax Return or ITR Filing is one of the most important responsibilities of an earning individual. But, before filing your ITR, you should find out the income tax allowance being given to an earning individual under the Income Tax Act 1961. According to the investment experts, Income Tax Allowance has three parts — taxable, non-taxable and partially taxable income. Therefore, it is advisable to an earning individual to segregate one's income in these three parts using the income tax calculator and then only for the income tax return filing.

The SEBI registered experts went on to add that allowances can be classified into three categories — taxable, non-taxable and partially taxable. Allowances like child education are exempted from any income tax provided the person produces the bill against the variable. Similarly, travel allowances or TA are partially exempted while HRA is 100 per cent taxable.
