Income Tax Portal releases New Offline Filing Utility for AY 2024-25

The Income Tax Portal has released a new offline filing utility for the Assessment Year 2024-25. This utility allows taxpayers to file Income Tax Returns (ITRs) offline by generating a JSON file that can be uploaded to the e-Filing portal. The utility supports ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3, and ITR-4 forms and provides a step-by-step guide for users. Taxpayers can download the utility from the e-Filing portal, install it on their computers, and use it to prepare and file their returns. This new tool aims to enhance the filing experience for taxpayers who prefer offline methods and ensure accurate and timely submission of returns.
