Dear sir Are there any rules for where to file ITR. I have a query, my brother works and resides in Pune but the address on his PAN card is of Yavatmal (Maharashtra). So whether ITR should be filed in Pune or Yavatmal. If we put the temporary address of Pune on ITR then can we file the ITR in Pune or it should be filed with address of Yavatmal in Yavatmal? Where is the cheque of refund received, either on the address mentioned on the ITR or on the address of the PAN card.
Kindly reply on this query. If possible quote the rules under which such provisions are contained. I have asked many people on this matter but none of the explanations were satisfactoy so kindly guide me through this process in detail.
There is no rule as to where you need to file your return, as compared to address in PAN Card. Of Course, you'll have to file the return at the place of which you are giving the address in the ITR Form The refund is sent to the address which is mentioned on the Income Tax Return Form at the filing of the IT Return. But, take care while giving the address in the return,a s the return takes some (rather lot) of time to come, and at that time the address mentioned there should be available, or else you'll hgave to go to the IT dept and get it, which is really tedious.. Hence, its always better to give the permannent address and file the return there.
