What is prefilled XML download?

You need to update your profile in order to download the pre-filled X M L. Pre-filled X M L is handy when you file your ITR because this X M L would fill most of the data in the ITR form.

Thanks for your post.

I find prefilled J S O N file. There's no X M L . Also I suppose X M L was applicable up to previous year when it would be generated from within excel sheet.

I am surprised to find that when 85% profile is complete, system does not indicate what is 15% missing !!To my best understanding I have filled everything. The interesting part is PAN database does not have India and country is mandatory field, so even after copying address from PAN it shouts that address does not match because India is missing in PAN database!

For FY 2020-21, there is no XL format, only JSON format
