  • Select the XML file downloaded from Income tax website and you are done.

Your ITR form is ready. You need to verify the form completely before processing for ITR filing. Once you find everything in order you can file your ITR online at the Income-tax site.

I have done testing for few cases and it is found that this option works well in capturing data from e-filing profile and Form 26AS, but if information about 24Q, Annexure-II is not filled up or not correct salary and deduction related information cannot be filled automatically.

Conclusion

Prefilled XML is a unique facility launched by the Income-tax department. It will surely help taxpayers to file income tax return quickly as it reduces steps to fill up details. However, taxpayers need to be careful about information automatically filled up in XML form.  A filing wrong information in ITR will lead to several complications.
