The income department has updated ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms to prevent false declarations. Now, taxpayers must provide specific proof for claiming deductions. For eg.

 

1) Home loan or education loan deductions require lender details, loan account numbers, and sanction dates.

 

2) Section 80EEB claim requires the vehicle’s registration number.

 

3) Section 80C claims require document IDs or policy numbers for investments like PPF, ELSS, or insurance premiums.

 

4) Section 80D claims require the insurer’s name and policy number for health insurance.
