ITR for Visa Application: Which Years, Which Form, What If Not Filed

Required for most visas: Schengen, UK, US, Canada, Japan. Serves as government verification of claimed income.

Which years: last 2 financial years (FY 2024-25 and FY 2023-24 for 2026 applications).

Which form: ITR-V (Verification form) or ITR Acknowledgment from the Income Tax portal.

Cross-reference: embassies check ITR income vs bank statement credits vs employer letter salary. All three must tell the same story.
