Deposited Money in the Post Office? Keep These Documents Ready Before Filing ITR

ITR Filing | If you have deposited money in the post office and are filing an income tax return (ITR), then here is an important update for you. To file your ITR, you need a specific document called an interest certificate.
This certificate tells you how much interest has been earned in your post office account during the previous or current financial year.

This document is very important because without it, your tax liability or refund calculation may not be accurate.
By providing accurate interest information, you can avoid tax-related mistakes and claim your rightful refund.

How to Get the Interest Certificate?

The good news is that now obtaining this interest certificate has become very easy.
You just need to visit the internet banking website of the Post Office: ebanking.indiapost.gov.in

There, you can fill out a form to activate your internet banking.

After that, you can download the certificate from your smartphone or computer while sitting at home.

Once logged in, you can easily download the interest certificate related to your Post Office Savings Account, Fixed Deposit (FD), Recurring Deposit (RD), or any other scheme.
