Income Tax Return Filing in India

WHAT YOU GET
A return that matches the department’s records
Most notices start with a mismatch. Interest or capital gains in the AIS are missing from the return, or TDS was claimed in the wrong year. We reconcile before we file.
Reconciliation
Every figure is checked against the AIS, TIS and Form 26AS. Differences are resolved or explained before filing.
Filing and follow up
Filing, online verification, tracking the refund and replies to intimations or defective return notices.
WHICH FORM
The right ITR form for each taxpayer
Filing on the wrong form leads to a defective return notice. These are the forms for FY 2025-26.
| Taxpayer | Form | Typical case |
|---|---|---|
| Resident individual with salary and interest up to INR 50 lakh | ITR-1 | A salaried employee with one house property |
| Individual without business income | ITR-2 | NRIs, capital gains, foreign assets, income above INR 50 lakh |
| Individual with business or professional income | ITR-3 | Founders drawing a salary and holding ESOPs, consultants, partners in firms |
| Presumptive business or profession | ITR-4 | Small businesses and professionals under sections 44AD and 44ADA |
| Firms and LLPs | ITR-5 | Partnership firms and limited liability partnerships |
| Companies | ITR-6 | Every company other than one claiming exemption as a charity |
HOW WE WORK
How we prepare your return
You send the documents once. We come back with a computation for your approval before anything is filed.
Collect the documents
Form 16, bank interest, capital gains statements, rent and any foreign income. We download the AIS and Form 26AS ourselves.
Compute and compare
We compute the tax under both regimes where you have a choice and show the difference in rupees.
Approve and file
You approve the computation. We file the return, and you verify it online with our help.
Track and respond
We track the processing, the refund and any intimation under section 143(1), and reply where needed.
SITUATIONS WE HANDLE OFTEN
Returns that need more care
NRIs with Indian income
NRIs file when Indian income crosses the basic exemption, or to claim back excess TDS on rent, interest or property sales.
Treaty benefits need a tax residency certificate and Form 10F. We check the treaty before choosing the rate.
Founders and ESOP holders
ESOPs are taxed twice: as salary when exercised, and as capital gains when sold. Residents also report foreign shares and ESOPs in Schedule FA.
Missing Schedule FA can attract a penalty under the Black Money Act, even when no income arose.
Companies, firms and LLPs
Business returns follow the audit and, where needed, the transfer pricing report. We work with your auditor so the return is filed on time.
For a foreign owned company, the return must line up with Form 3CEB and the FEMA filings.
BUILD THE RIGHT ENGAGEMENT
Scope and fees
The Income-tax Act, 2025 replaced the 1961 Act from 1 April 2026. It uses a single tax year in place of the previous year and assessment year. Returns for FY 2025-26 are still filed under the 1961 Act.
Missed the date?
A belated return for FY 2025-26 can be filed until 31 December 2026, with a late fee of up to INR 5,000. A revised return can be filed until 31 March 2027.
After that, an updated return is possible within 48 months, with additional tax.
What we need from you
Your PAN and login access or consent, Form 16, bank statements for the year and details of any sales of shares, mutual funds or property.
For NRIs, add your passport travel days and any tax residency certificate.
How we scope the fee
The fee depends on the form, the number of income sources and whether capital gains or foreign income are involved.
Our fee is fixed in writing before we start. Company and LLP returns are usually part of our annual compliance retainer.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Income tax return questions
Clear expectations make a better engagement.
What is the last date to file the return for FY 2025-26?
ITR-1 and ITR-2 are due by 31 July 2026, and non audit business returns by 31 August 2026. Audited cases and companies file by 31 October 2026. Transfer pricing cases have until 30 November 2026.
Do NRIs need to file a return in India?
Yes, if Indian income exceeds the basic exemption limit, or to claim a refund of excess TDS. Income earned outside India is not taxed in India for an NRI.
Which tax regime should I choose?
The new regime is the default and gives no tax on income up to INR 12 lakh for FY 2025-26 through the rebate. The old regime can still work out cheaper with large deductions. We compute both.
What if I missed the due date?
File a belated return by 31 December 2026 with a late fee. Losses from business or capital gains cannot be carried forward from a belated return.
Can I correct a return after filing?
Yes. A revised return can be filed until 31 March 2027 for FY 2025-26. After that, an updated return is allowed within 48 months with additional tax.
What documents do I need?
Form 16, bank interest certificates, capital gains statements, rent receipts, investment proofs if you use the old regime, and details of any foreign income or assets.
Do you reply to income tax notices?
Yes, for intimations under section 143(1), defective return notices and mismatch queries. Scrutiny assessments are scoped separately.
