File ITR by July 31, otherwise you may have to pay a fine of Rs 1,000 to Rs 3,000.
Incorrect personal details such as PAN number, bank details, etc. may result in your refund getting rejected or refund getting delayed.
Keep in mind that there are different ITR forms for different taxpayers. If you fill in the wrong ITR form, you may have to file the return again.

It is a very common mistake to hide information about your various sources of income like interest from savings account, FD and rent etc. Avoid making such a mistake.
Don't make the mistake of ignoring Form 26AS. This will help you calculate TDS correctly and reduce the chances of making mistakes in the future.
Not verifying ITR is a very common mistake. Income tax return process is not considered complete without e-verification. E-verification must be completed after filing the return.
