Income Tax E-Filing

File your income tax return accurately and on time — whether you're salaried, a freelancer, business owner, or have capital gains. Our CA experts handle it all.

Overview

What Is Income Tax E-Filing?

Income Tax E-Filing means filing your annual tax return online through the Income Tax portal (incometax.gov.in) instead of submitting physical papers. It's mandatory for most taxpayers and is the only way to file ITR-1 through ITR-7.

Every individual whose gross income exceeds the basic exemption limit (₹3 Lakhs under New Regime, ₹2.5 Lakhs under Old Regime) must file an ITR. But even if your income is below the limit, filing voluntarily has benefits — loan applications, visa processing, and claiming tax refunds.

Who Must File ITR?

It's not just about income above the exemption limit. There are several situations where filing is mandatory even with zero or low income.

Remember: Even if filing is not mandatory for you, filing voluntarily creates a financial track record that helps with bank loans, credit cards, visa applications, and property purchases.
Must File ITR If Any Of These Apply:
  • Gross income exceeds exemption limit — ₹3L (New Regime) or ₹2.5L (Old Regime)
  • TDS of ₹25,000+ deducted — (₹50,000 for senior citizens) under any section
  • TCS of ₹10,000+ collected — From foreign remittance, luxury items, etc.
  • Savings bank deposit > ₹50 Lakhs — In any account during the year
  • Foreign travel expenditure > ₹2 Lakhs — Self or family members
  • Electricity bill > ₹1 Lakh — Against a single connection
  • Foreign assets or income — Bank accounts, shares, RSUs, property abroad
  • Agricultural income > ₹5,000 — Even though exempt, must be declared
  • Business/professional turnover > ₹60 Lakhs — Under 44ADA/44AD presumptive tax
  • Claiming tax refund — If excess TDS was deducted, you must file to get refund
Benefits

Why File On Time?

Claim Refund

If your employer deducted more TDS than actual tax, you only get refund by filing ITR.

Avoid Penalties

Late filing attracts ₹1,000–₹5,000 penalty plus interest under 234A/B/C.

Carry Forward Losses

Capital losses, house property losses — can carry forward 8 years only if filed on time.

Financial Proof

Required for home loans, education loans, visa applications, and credit card approvals.

Tax Regime

New vs Old Regime: Quick Look

Old Regime
  • 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA — all deductions available
  • Home loan interest under 24(b) available
  • Exemption limit: ₹2.5 Lakhs
  • 4 tax slabs (5% to 30%)

Best for: People with heavy deductions — home loan + investments + insurance totaling ₹3L+.

New Regime (Default)
  • No 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA deductions
  • Standard deduction of ₹75,000
  • Exemption limit: ₹3 Lakhs
  • 7 tax slabs (0% to 30%)

Best for: Salaried people with minimal investments — lower slab rates can save more tax.

We calculate both for you and pick whichever saves more tax. No extra charge — it's part of the filing process.
Avoid Errors

Common Filing Mistakes

Wrong ITR Form

Filing ITR-1 when you have capital gains, or ITR-2 when you have business income — instant defective return notice under 139(9).

AIS/TIS Mismatch

Not declaring income that's already reported in your AIS by banks, employers, or brokers — automated notice triggered.

Not Verifying on Time

Filing ITR but forgetting to e-verify within 30 days — return becomes invalid as if never filed.

Missing Interest Income

Savings account interest, FD interest — even small amounts must be declared. Banks report everything to IT department.

Wrong Regime Choice

Defaulting to New Regime without checking if Old Regime saves more — can mean paying ₹5K–₹25K extra tax.

Wrong Bank for Refund

IFSC or account number error means refund bounces and takes months to recover through re-issuance request.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is the last date to file ITR for AY 2025-26?

For most individuals (ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-4 without audit), the due date is July 31, 2025. For business owners requiring tax audit (ITR-3, ITR-4 with 44AB audit), the deadline is October 31, 2025. Belated returns can be filed until December 31, 2025 with penalties.

Can I file ITR if my income is below the exemption limit?

Yes, and in many cases you should. Even with zero tax liability, filing helps claim TDS refund, creates a financial record for loans/visas, and allows you to carry forward losses. It's especially recommended if TDS was deducted from your income.

What happens if I miss the ITR filing deadline?

You can still file a belated return until December 31, 2025, but you'll pay a penalty of ₹5,000 (or ₹1,000 if income ≤ ₹5L). More importantly, you cannot carry forward losses (capital gains, house property, business) if filed after the due date. For business owners, this can mean losing lakhs in future tax savings.

Is it mandatory to link Aadhaar with PAN?

Yes. Aadhaar-PAN linking is mandatory for filing ITR. If not linked, your PAN becomes inoperative — you can't file returns, and TDS/TCS will be deducted at the highest rate. Linking can be done on the Income Tax portal or UIDAI website.

What is the difference between AIS and TIS?

AIS (Annual Information Statement) shows ALL financial transactions reported to the IT department — TDS, TCS, interest, dividends, foreign remittances, property transactions, etc. TIS (Taxpayer Information Summary) is a simplified version showing only the relevant information needed for filing your return. We use both to ensure nothing is missed or double-counted.

Can I revise my ITR after filing?

Yes. A revised return can be filed before the end of the assessment year (December 31, 2025) or before completion of assessment — whichever is earlier. You can also file an updated return within 2 years from the end of the assessment year, but it attracts 25% additional tax on the tax and interest.

How long does it take to get a tax refund?

Typically 20-45 days after e-verification, if everything matches. The IT department processes refunds via ECS to your bank account. If there's a mismatch or the department sends an intimation under Section 143(1) adjusting your refund, it may take longer. We help track and follow up on refund status.

What is Form 26AS and why is it important?

Form 26AS is a consolidated tax statement showing all TDS and TCS deducted on your income during the year, along with advance tax and self-assessment tax paid. If your ITR doesn't match Form 26AS — for example, you show less income than what's reported in 26AS — a notice is almost certain. We verify every entry against 26AS before filing.

Don't Risk Wrong Filing.
Let Experts Handle It.

Wrong form, missed income, wrong regime — small errors lead to notices, penalties, and lost refunds. File with CA-verified accuracy.
