In order to claim the deduction under different sections, you will need the following documents or numbers ready before filing your income tax return:
When Taxpayer submitting ITR then he/ she needed to report his / her total income, including all sources of income, deductions, and exemptions. When filing ITR-1, Taxpayer should include his / her total salary income, even if he/ she don’t have a Form 16.
