Many People Remain Confuse Between Assessment year and Financial Year, both are related to each other but Many Taxpayers often treat both of them as same year, which is a mistake when file income tax return or while conducting scrutiny of Form 16\/16a from the 26AS available on the government portal.<\/p>\n

Financial Year<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The financial year is the calendar year in which we received income from our Job or from our business. Financial year starts from the 1st<\/sup> April of each year and gets finish on march 31st<\/sup> of the next calendar year. In Short form we write \u201cFinancial year\u201d as \u201cFY\u201d. The person who needs to pay tax is called as Assesses, an assesse must calculate a plan tax for the fiscal year, but assesse will file his\/her income tax return next year or assessment year.<\/p>\n

For Illustration <\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Income received in the present financial year 2022-23 is the income received\/ gained from 1st<\/sup> April2022 to 31st<\/sup> March 2023,<\/li>\n
  • Any Money earned by the assesses from 1st<\/sup> April 2022 to 31st<\/sup> March 2023, is simply referred to as income earned in financial year 2022-23<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For purpose of income tax or income tax return, terms financial year and previous year are used interchangeably.<\/p>\n

    Assessment Year \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    The assessment year is the year during which we pay taxes on the money we received in financial year. In the relevant assessment year, we should file our income tax return within or before deadline. The year immediately after the financial year is known as the assessment year.<\/p>\n

    For Illustration <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Income received\/gained in the current financial year 2022-23 will be taxable is assessment year 2023-24.<\/li>\n
    • In Assessment year 2023-24, Income which we have received in financial year 2022-23 will be taxable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In Assessment year 2023-24, Income which we have received in financial year 2022-23 will be taxable.<\/p>\n
