The end of financial year and the accountants are busy working hard day and night, with the financial figures. As April arrives, we, the salaried class, receive the Form 16 from the employer reminding us to pay our tax religiously by 30th June. But most of them have a lot of confusion or misinterpretation on the savings in each category say 80D, 80DD, bank interests, other sources of income such as rent, or any kind of loans for rebate. When the Form 16 is issued, we must ensure that all the savings made during the financial year are being reflected or if anything has been missed it should be entered while filing ITR returns. 

Most of the folks, be it salaried or business, do not realise the importance of filing the tax returns and ignore whilst it is our duty to duly file before the last date. It is not just about filing for tax withheld, filing on time helps us in applying bank loans of all kinds not just the housing loan. Also, tax filing on time has been much appreciated by other countries. When we apply for work visas, it indicates a positive note on the visa application and most information is shared amongst all the countries. 

While filing for Income Tax Return, we are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information we provide to the IT Department. Any false information or unknowing incorrect information would land us in trouble. IT Dept had launched the website few years ago providing all the useful FAQs and online lodgement of returns is much easier now. If you still don't understand the flow of filing the tax, the best way is to approach a trustworthy tax consultant such as H&R Block who provide online service and would do it on your behalf hassle free. It would save your time commuting to tax office or consultant.

I’m taking the #TaxPledge to file IT returns with the easy Income Tax efiling option from H&R Block at BlogAdda.

"Wherever you go, go with all your heart." ~ Confucius. 

In my mother tongue, Kannada, there is a popular proverb - "Desha noDu, kosha oodu (Read the book and see the world)". Most of us travel based on where work takes us and many travel for the love of it and are born wanderers. Travel broadens the mind and provides us an opportunity to explore new places within the home country or a different one or even an entirely different continent. Meet local folks with the different cultural background, try new food or even learn a new language. Traveling is not so easy as we think seeing so many updates on Facebook or twitter. It does require a lot of planning and looking up on the internet, reading reviews and so on.

I wish to visit Goa over and again for its beautiful sun kissed beaches and for the love of beaches. I would first book my to and fro tickets by flight and there is a huge list of Airlines to Goa. I would first book a flight and hotel based on my budget covering both North and South Goa. Subsequently, I would also start packing clothes for beaches and adventures, sunscreen, shoes and slippers, camera with lenses, book to read while on flight and loads of cash and less jewellery as much as possible. I would try to keep my baggage as light as possible. On the travel day, I would board an AC Volvo bus to airport that reaches in a hour.

I have made a list of beaches to visit and the huge list of activities that should not be missed at any cost!
Beaches:
North Goa: I would cover the beaches as much as possible. Calangute beach, one of the most popular beaches in Goa, Baga beach, Anjuna beach, Vagator beach and Aguada beach for its fort. And not to forget the famous Arambol beach.
South Goa: Palolem beach and Agonda beach.
Se Cathedral, Ruins of the Church of St. Augustine, Church of Mae de Deus (Saligao) to name a few.

Water sports:
Goa is a land of adventures or rather say home for adventures. If you visit any beach, you would find a plenty of water sports which anyone should never miss. If you could swim or not, does not matter, but you always always give a try. I would definitely go for scuba diving, my all time favourite, river rafting, water scooter and parasailing. I would float on the sea after a good swim for relaxation.

Walks:
I love long walks or rather say photowalk, capturing the life of the city with my DSLR camera and iPhone. I would definitely walk through the streets of Panjim or any city for that matter. Walking is better than driving a moped. During my walks, I get to explore the city better by talking to the locals, than what google maps offers.

Shopping:
How could a woman not shop wherever she goes? I would definitely go out for window shopping if not spending at Mapusa and at Anjuna and get home some souvenirs and good wine.

Casinos:
Last but not the least, what's the purpose of visiting Goa without trying your luck at a Casino and hoping to win handsome money. Visit a Casino, win and lose but be happy. :) Also, did I forget to mention the bars and restaurant, you would find a plenty of them round.

So that's my hassle free well planned trip and hope to be back with loads of travel stories!
