Common Mistakes Jo Avoid Karni Chahiye
- Income galat ya inflate karke likhna – Jo actual family income hai wahi likhein. Inflated figure likhi toh officer inquiry kar sakta hai aur application reject ho sakti hai
- Sirf apni income likhna – Form mein poori family ki combined income likhni hoti hai, sirf aapki nahi
- Documents unclear upload karna – Agar documents clear nahi hue toh portal par rejection reason bataya jaata hai. Fix karke turant re-apply kar sakte hain Motilal Oswal
- Acknowledgement number save na karna – Bina is number ke status track nahi hoga
- Validity expire hone par purana certificate use karna – Income certificate sirf designated financial year ke liye valid hota hai. Validity khatam hone ke baad nayi certificate ke liye re-apply karna zaroori hai TaxBuddy
- Galat state portal par apply karna – Aap sirf usi state mein apply kar sakte hain jahan aap permanently rehte hain
