Common Questions

Income tax, answered plainly

Who should file an income tax return?

Filing is generally required once your income crosses the basic exemption limit, and can also apply in certain other situations even below that limit, such as specific high-value transactions or wanting to claim a refund. We can review your position and confirm whether filing applies to you.

Which ITR form applies to me?

This depends on your sources of income - salary, business or profession, capital gains, or foreign income and assets - and your residential status. We determine the correct form as part of preparing your return.

Can a CA help with an income tax notice?

Yes. We review the notice, help prepare a response with the required documentation, and represent you in the proceedings that follow, whether it's a routine query or a scrutiny assessment.

How does tax planning work for individuals?

We look at your income sources, the deductions and exemptions available under your chosen tax regime, and your advance tax position, then plan around them through the year rather than only at filing time.

Do NRIs need to file an income tax return in India?

An NRI generally needs to file where they have taxable income in India, such as rental income, capital gains, or interest above the applicable threshold. Residential status and the source of income determine the exact position, and DTAA relief may apply.

What happens if an ITR is selected for scrutiny?

The department reviews specific aspects of the return in more detail and may call for documents or explanations. We prepare and present the required response and represent you through the assessment.

What is advance tax, and who needs to pay it?

Advance tax is income tax paid in instalments during the financial year rather than as a single payment at filing time, and it generally applies once your estimated tax liability for the year crosses the prescribed limit.

Can you help with TDS correction or a revised return?

Yes. We handle correction statements for TDS/TCS returns with mismatches or errors, and can help file a revised income tax return where the original return needs correction within the permitted window.
