what is prefill data file & how to download prefill data?
Prefill data file is a feature provided by the Income Tax Department of India that allows taxpayers to download their pre-filled income tax return form. The pre-filled data contains details such as the taxpayer's PAN, name, address, employer details, TDS details, and other relevant information that is already available with the Income Tax Department. This feature saves time and effort for taxpayers as they do not have to manually enter all the details in their income tax return form .

To download prefill data, you need to follow these steps:

Visit the e-Filing portal of the Income Tax Department .
Log in to your account by entering your PAN, password, and captcha code.
Click on the "Download Pre-filled XML" option under the "Download" tab .
Select the relevant assessment year and click on "Continue".
Verify the pre-filled data and click on "Download Pre-filled XML".
Save the downloaded file on your computer.

It's important to note that prefill data is available only for certain taxpayers who have filed their income tax returns in the previous year and whose details are available with the Income Tax Department. Also, the pre-filled data should be carefully verified before filing the income tax return to avoid any errors or discrepancies.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
