Filing an income tax return from Wah Cantt is mostly about salaried POF staff, retirees with savings and rent, and local traders. This page walks through what each needs to file and how to avoid common mistakes.
For POF and Cantonment Employees
Collect the annual salary certificate showing all allowances and tax deducted. Add bank certificates for tax on profit, mobile and internet bills, and vehicle token tax. Each is a credit that reduces final tax.
For Retirees
Declare pension as exempt income, then rent and profit on savings. Filing keeps tax on savings profit at the lower rate for active filers.
For Traders
Prepare a summary of purchases and sales, closing stock and electricity bills. Profit, not turnover, is taxed.
Common Mistakes
- Forgetting the wealth statement, which must accompany the return.
- Leaving out a house built in a nearby village or a plot bought years ago.
- Not claiming tax paid on electricity, phone and vehicle bills.

A Simple Example
A POF technician with an annual salary of Rs 1,500,000 has tax deducted every month. He also has Rs 40,000 profit on a savings account, with tax deducted by the bank, and pays tax on his phone and electricity bills. In his return he declares the salary and profit and claims every deduction as a credit. If the credits exceed his final tax, the excess can be refunded.
