Which ITR form applies to me?
The correct ITR form depends on your income sources and residential status:
| ITR Form | Who can use it | Who cannot use it |
|---|---|---|
| ITR-1 (Sahaj) | Resident individuals with income up to Rs 50 lakh from salary, one house property, other sources | Capital gains, foreign income, more than one house property, business income, agricultural income above Rs 5,000 |
| ITR-2 | Individuals/HUFs without business income, including capital gains, multiple house properties, foreign income | Business or professional income |
| ITR-3 | Individuals/HUFs with income from business or profession | Companies, LLPs |
| ITR-4 (Sugam) | Presumptive income under Section 44AD, 44ADA, 44AE (turnover up to Rs 2 crore / Rs 50 lakh) | Capital gains, foreign assets, agricultural income above Rs 5,000 |
Key due dates for AY 2026-27 (income earned in FY 2025-26)
- 31 July 2026 — ITR filing for non-audit cases (most individuals and small businesses under 44AD/44ADA)
- 30 September 2026 — Tax audit report filing (Form 3CD)
- 31 October 2026 — ITR filing for tax audit cases
- 30 November 2026 — ITR for transfer pricing cases
- 31 December 2026 — Belated return / Revised return for AY 2026-27 with late fee under Section 234F
New vs Old Regime — which to choose?
From AY 2024-25, the New Regime under Section 115BAC is the default. To opt for the Old Regime, you must explicitly select it while filing. Key differences:
- Old Regime: Higher tax rates but allows 70+ deductions (80C, 80D, HRA, LTA, etc.) and exemptions
- New Regime: Lower tax rates and Rs 75,000 standard deduction (salary), but most deductions are not allowed
For most salaried taxpayers with home loan + 80C + 80D investments, the Old Regime often remains beneficial. For taxpayers without significant deductions, the New Regime is cleaner and cheaper. Use our free Regime Comparison tool for instant analysis.
What we check before filing
Before submitting your ITR, our team verifies the following to prevent notices:
- AIS & TIS reconciliation — every entry matched, discrepancies flagged
- Form 26AS — TDS credits and high-value transactions
- Capital gains — broker P&L statements cross-verified with AIS
- Bank interest — Section 80TTA/80TTB deduction correctly applied
- House property — rent receipts, municipal tax, interest on housing loan limit
- Foreign assets — Schedule FA disclosure (mandatory for ROR, even if NIL income)
- Tax computation — rebate under Section 87A correctly applied where eligible
Common notices we help respond to
If you have received a notice for an earlier ITR, we handle responses to:
- Section 143(1) — Intimation for arithmetic errors or adjustments
- Section 142(1) — Notice to file return or produce books
- Section 139(9) — Defective return notice
- Section 245 — Adjustment of refund against demand
- Section 148 — Reassessment notice for escaped income
- Section 245C — e-Verification / questionable transactions
Frequently asked questions
What is the deadline for ITR filing AY 2026-27? +
For salaried individuals and non-audit cases, the due date is 31 July 2026. For tax audit cases, it is 31 October 2026. Filing after the due date attracts late fee of up to Rs 5,000 under Section 234F (Rs 1,000 if total income is below Rs 5 lakh).
Can I file ITR myself or do I need a CA? +
For straightforward salary-only ITR-1 cases, the income tax portal’s pre-filled return is usable. However, the moment you have capital gains, foreign income, multiple house properties, presumptive business income, or want to optimise between regimes — the cost of a wrong filing (notice, refund delay, scrutiny risk) usually exceeds the professional fee. We recommend professional filing for everyone above Rs 10 lakh income or with any non-salary income head.
What if I have missed the ITR filing deadline? +
You can file a belated return under Section 139(4) until 31 December of the assessment year. Late fee under Section 234F applies (Rs 1,000 or Rs 5,000 depending on income), plus interest under Sections 234A/B/C on unpaid tax. After 31 December, only an updated return under Section 139(8A) can be filed within 24 months from the end of the AY, with additional tax (25% or 50%).
I am an NRI. Do I need to file ITR in India? +
You must file an ITR in India if you have any India-source income exceeding the basic exemption limit (typically Rs 2.5 lakh) — including rental income from Indian property, interest on NRO accounts, capital gains on Indian shares/property, or India-source pension. ITR-2 is typically the applicable form. We also help with DTAA benefit claims via Form 67.
Will I get a refund if excess TDS was deducted? +
Yes. After filing the ITR, refunds are typically processed within 4-12 weeks if the ITR is e-verified within 30 days of filing. The refund is credited directly to your pre-validated bank account. We help track the refund status and respond to any verification queries.
Does filing ITR affect my CIBIL or loan eligibility? +
Yes — positively. Filed ITRs are accepted as primary income proof by banks for home loans, vehicle loans, and credit card upgrades. Most lenders require last 2-3 years' ITR copies. Consistent ITR filing also improves your visa application credibility (US, UK, Schengen, Canada all assess ITR as income evidence).
