Filing It Return

This discussion explores the legality and implications of declaring a higher salary on an Income Tax Return (ITR) than what was officially received in cash. Participants debate whether to declare the actual cash received or a higher amount, considering Form 16, TDS, tax liability, and the potential for a rebate under Section 87. While some suggest it's possible to declare a higher amount if below the taxable threshold, others strongly advise against it, citing legal risks and the importance of accurate reporting.
