Income Tax Return Filing
Returns prepared from your actual books and Form 26AS position, filed under the Income Tax Act 2025 — with the regime choice worked out before we file, not after.
Filing an income tax return is how you tell the department what you earned and what tax you have already paid on it, through salary deductions, advance tax and tax deducted at source. It is also what you produce when a bank underwrites a loan, when a tender asks for three years of financials, or when a visa application asks for proof of income. A return you filed carelessly is a document you will be asked to stand behind for years.
The ground has moved. From 1 April 2026 the Income Tax Act, 2025 replaced the 1961 Act, and returns are now filed under Section 263, which folds original, belated, revised and updated returns into a single provision. "Assessment Year" no longer exists — there is one Tax Year. Income earned up to 31 March 2026 is still governed by the old Act even though you are filing in the new era, which is the part that catches people out.
Deadlines now run in three tiers rather than two: 31 July for salaried and simple-income filers, 31 August for non-audit business and professional cases, and 31 October where an audit applies. Miss them and a fee applies under Section 428 (₹5,000, or ₹1,000 where total income does not exceed ₹5 lakh), plus interest at 1% per month on unpaid tax. The larger cost is usually invisible: you also lose the right to carry forward most losses.

If any of these describe where you are right now, this is the service you are looking for.
Your total income before deductions is above the basic exemption limit — filing is then a legal obligation, not a choice.
You are salaried and want the excess tax deducted by your employer refunded, which only happens through a return.
You run a business or profession, whether as a proprietor, partner, LLP or company.
You hold foreign assets, foreign income or signing authority on an overseas account — filing is required regardless of income level.
You want to carry forward a business or capital loss to set against future profit, which requires the return to be filed by the due date.
You need documented income for a loan, a tender pre-qualification or a visa application.
Everything handled, end to end
The full scope of the engagement, so there is nothing to discover halfway through.
Regime comparison before filing
We compute your liability under both the new and old regimes on your actual numbers, and file under whichever is lower — with the working shown to you.
Form 26AS and AIS reconciliation
Your return is matched against what the department already knows about you. Mismatches here are the single largest cause of notices, and they are cheapest to fix before filing.
Correct return form selection
The form depends on your income sources, not your profession. Filing the wrong one gets the return treated as defective under the successor provision to Section 139(9).
Capital gains and house property computation
Share, mutual fund and property transactions computed with holding periods, indexation where it applies, and set-off of losses handled properly.
Deduction and exemption review
Every deduction you are actually entitled to, claimed with the evidence to support it — and none you are not.
Tax audit coordination (Section 63)
Where turnover crosses ₹1 crore, rising to ₹10 crore where cash receipts and cash payments are each within 5% of the total, or professional receipts cross ₹50 lakh of gross receipts, we coordinate the audit report, due one month before the return due date.
Filing, e-verification and acknowledgement
A return that is filed but not verified is not filed at all. We take it through verification and hand you the acknowledgement.
Refund tracking
We follow the refund through to credit and take up delays and adjustments against past demands, rather than leaving you to chase the portal.

Download your Annual Information Statement before you send anything else. It is the department's own record of your transactions, and reconciling it early converts most potential notices into a five-minute conversation instead of a reply filed under deadline.
5 steps, start to finish
Where the work actually goes, and what we need from you at each stage.
Collect and reconcile
We gather your documents and reconcile them against Form 26AS and the Annual Information Statement, so the return agrees with the department's own data before it is filed.
Confirm with us
Compute under both regimes
Income heads computed, deductions applied, and the liability worked out under the new and old regimes side by side. You see both figures.
With the computation
Confirm and pay any balance
You approve the computation, and any self-assessment tax due is paid before filing so no interest accrues past the filing date.
Before filing
File and verify
The return is filed under the correct form and taken through e-verification, because an unverified return is not treated as filed.

We monitor processing, check the intimation against our own computation when it arrives, and follow any refund through to credit.

Common questions
The questions we are actually asked about ITR Filing. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Yes, in vocabulary and procedure. Returns are now filed under Section 263 of the Income Tax Act 2025, and "Assessment Year" has been replaced by a single Tax Year. Income earned up to 31 March 2026 is still taxed under the 1961 Act. So the law that computes your income and the law that governs the filing can differ for the same return.
There are three tiers now, not two. 31 July if you are salaried or have simple income, 31 August for non-audit business and professional cases including partners, and 31 October where an audit applies. Transfer pricing cases get 30 November. Tell us your income sources and we will confirm which applies to you.
A fee of ₹5,000, or ₹1,000 where total income does not exceed ₹5 lakh under Section 428, plus interest at 1% per month on unpaid tax on tax still unpaid. The larger cost is usually invisible: file after the due date and you lose the right to carry most losses forward, so a loss you could have set against next year's profit is simply gone.
Usually yes. A revised return can be filed within 12 months from the end of the tax year, or before the assessment is completed, whichever is earlier. If that window has closed, an updated return is available within 48 months from the end of the financial year following the tax year, but it carries additional tax of 25% to 70% of the tax and interest due, rising the later it is filed. Correcting a mistake yourself is always cheaper than having it found during scrutiny.
It depends entirely on your numbers, and the answer changes as your investments and loans change. We compute both on your actual figures before filing rather than assuming. Broadly the new regime suits those with few deductions to claim; the old one can still win where a home loan, rent and long-standing investments stack up.
Often yes. If tax was deducted from your interest or contract payments, a return is the only way to get it refunded. A filed return is also the income proof banks and consulates ask for, and a consistent filing record makes a future notice about an unfiled year far less likely.
Under Section 63, an audit applies where business turnover crosses ₹1 crore, rising to ₹10 crore where cash receipts and cash payments are each within 5% of the total, or professional gross receipts cross ₹50 lakh of gross receipts. It also applies if you declare profits below the presumptive rates under Sections 58 and 61. The report is due one month before the return due date, so it drives your whole filing calendar.
It depends on when the return is processed, and the department may issue an intimation at any point up to the outer limit set by the Act. Refunds are usually credited within weeks of processing where the bank account is pre-validated and the return matches Form 26AS. Mismatches and past demands adjusted against the refund are the two common delays.
