As you know the last date for filing income tax returns for AY 2015-2016 (FY 2014-2015) is 31st Aug 2015.

For many Individual salaried taxpayers, the TDS is deducted by employer. Bank also deduct TDS on interest payment.You can check how much TDS is deducted by them by checking your Form 26AS online.

However, at the time of filing IT returns, when you add all your incomes and you may realise that there is a tax due which needs to be paid. In that case, you should NOT submit the return before filing the tax.

If there is any tax due showing, then pay the tax first , then enter the tax paid details in ITR, and then submit the ITR. Ideally when you finally submit your ITR, your TAX should either be “ZERO” or there is a refund.
