Basic Terminology Used

i. Previous Year: - As per the income tax act 1961, previous year means the financial year immediately preceding the assessment year.

ii. Assessment Year: - Assessment year is basically a 12 months period starting from April 1, during which an assesse is required to file the return of income (ITR) and the ITO has to initiate assessment proceedings for income as per ITR and tax thereon. Since Income Tax is on income of a financial/ previous year or period, so tax filings and assessment can start thereafter. Probably, that’s why it’s called assessment year/ period.

iii. Surcharge: - An additional tax i.e. not included in the existing tax which is chargeable when the total income exceeds Rs 1crore.
