Income Tax Return Filing
A return is not a data-entry job. Choosing the right form, the right regime and the right head of income is what decides whether you overpay, and whether you get a notice next year.
This engagement covers
- Correct form and heads
- Regime comparison
- 26AS and AIS reconciliation
- Capital gains
- Advance tax
- Notices and rectification
“They set up our Private Limited in under two weeks and explained every form before we signed it. The fee never moved from the first quote.”

What’s included
- 01
Correct form and heads
ITR-1 through ITR-7, with income classified under the right head. Getting this wrong is the usual cause of a defective return notice.
- 02
Regime comparison
Old regime against new, computed on your actual numbers, so the choice is a calculation rather than a guess.
- 03
26AS and AIS reconciliation
Your return matched against what the department already knows. Mismatches are what trigger notices.
- 04
Capital gains
Equity, mutual funds, property and unlisted shares, with indexation and exemptions applied where available.
- 05
Advance tax
Quarterly liability computed in advance so you are not paying interest under sections 234B and 234C.
- 06
Notices and rectification
Responses to intimation under section 143(1), rectification and revised returns where required.
Documents required
Collected once, digitally. We check the whole set before anything is filed — document problems are what turn a two-week job into a six-week one.

Questions
Q1Which ITR form applies to me?
It depends on your income sources and status. Filing the wrong form gets the return treated as defective under section 139(9). We select it as part of the engagement.
Q2Old regime or new regime?
Entirely dependent on your deductions. Significant 80C, 80D, HRA and home loan interest usually favour the old regime; few deductions usually favour the new one. We compute both and show you the difference.
Q3I missed the due date. Can I still file?
Yes. A belated return can be filed within the window under section 139(4), with a late fee under section 234F and interest on unpaid tax. Some loss carry-forward benefits are lost, so file quickly.
Q4I got a notice. Can you handle it?
Yes. Intimations under section 143(1), mismatch queries and rectifications are handled by the same professional who prepared your return, at a fee quoted before the work starts.
