If you’re filing your income tax returns on your own, an essential piece of data that you would need is the Assessing Officer’s Ward/Circle number. Thankfully, this information has been made publicly available by the Income Tax Department of India at Know Your Assessing Officer (use Internet Explorer to open this page).
Tip Tuesdays is my initiative to share practical personal finance tips — every Tuesday. I’d be delighted if you could share a tip or two from your own experiences. Drop a comment to submit your tip. And, as always, do spread the word if you find this useful.
