Fiscal year is approaching its end and that makes it more important to get reminded about important deadlines and updations that you need to make before March 31. These include updating details in Aadhaar for free, complying with tax and investment regulations, and more. Some of them are so important that failing to do so can result in fines or penalties.

Revised ITR filing: Deadline March 31
March 31 is set as the last date to file the revised ITR filing for the fiscal year 2021-2022. This option lets taxpayers file their returns in case they missed or omitted reporting any income to submit a revised ITR or ITR-U.
Apart from this, taxpayers also have the option to file an updated return within 24 months (2 years) from the end of the relevant assessment year, given they meet certain conditions. This means, there’s time till March 31 for those who haven’t filed the ITR for the fiscal year 2019-2020.

Tax-saving investments: Deadline March 31
If you haven’t completed the tax-saving activities for the fiscal year 2023-2024, then you better do it before March 31. Notably, as of April 1, 2023, there have been changes to the income tax regulations with the implementation of the new tax regime. This new system is now the default for the fiscal year 2023-2024. In case an employee hasn’t selected a tax regime before April 2023, their employer will deduct tax at source (TDS) based on the income tax slabs under the new tax regime.
