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.

You have to calculate the total income tax you owe to the government while filing an income tax return. So, if you have paid more tax than is necessary for the financial year, the Income-tax dept will refund the extra money to your verified/pre-validated bank account. And if you have underpaid taxes for the financial year, you will have to pay the balance while submitting your income tax return.
