Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the necessity of downloading the prefill XML when filing an offline tax return for the first time. While it's not strictly required, using the prefill option can significantly save time by automatically populating details like TDS and advance tax entries, especially if you've filed in previous years. For first-time filers, manual entry is an option, but prefill is still recommended for efficiency.

You can manually fill also the data
Ok....means use of this option is only to import the data nothing else...if you have already filed return in previous years....right????
Yes you are right
Thank you so much sir for clarification....🙏
It is advisable to download prefill as TDS Advance Tax entries, House property income details and many more are auto filled up thus saving a lot more time.
Yeah....at this point, prefill is required but if you are filing return first time then there is no difference...yeah we can save our precious time...now everything is cleared...thank you so much to both of you...🙏🙏
