Get started Learn moreWhat is income tax return (ITR) filing?
An Income Tax Return (ITR) is the form in which you report your income, deductions and tax paid for a financial year to the Income Tax Department. Filing correctly helps you claim refunds, carry forward losses and keep a clean record for loans and visas.
We prepare the right ITR form for your income, reconcile AIS and Form 26AS, compare the old and new tax regimes and complete e-verification. Business owners often combine this with GST return filing and TDS return filing.

Income tax return filing FAQs
Straight answers to the questions people search for most.
What is the difference between the old and new tax regimes?
The new regime has lower slab rates but allows fewer exemptions and deductions. The old regime lets you claim deductions such as 80C and HRA. We compare both for your numbers.
What if I missed the ITR due date?
You can usually file a belated return before the cut-off date, with late fee and interest if applicable. For AY 2026-27 the belated deadline is generally 31 December 2026.
Which ITR form should I file?
It depends on your sources of income and entity type, such as salary, capital gains or business income. We select the correct form for you.
Do I need to file ITR if my income is below the exemption limit?
Not always, but you may still need to file in some cases, such as to claim a refund, carry forward losses or meet bank and visa requirements.
How long does it take to get an income tax refund?
Processing and refund timelines vary. Correct bank details, pre-validation and prompt e-verification help avoid delays.
Is e-verification necessary after filing?
Yes. A return is treated as complete only after e-verification within the allowed time.
What is the ITR filing last date for AY 2026-27?
The original due dates were 31 July (ITR-1, ITR-2) and 31 August (ITR-3, ITR-4) for non-audit cases. A belated or revised return can generally be filed until 31 December 2026, with late fee and interest where applicable.
