Quick Answer

Which ITR form should a salaried individual file for AY 2025-26 in Ascendas IT Park, Chennai?

ITR-1 (Sahaj) is for resident individuals (not RNOR/NR) with total income up to ₹50 lakh from salary, one house property, family pension, agricultural income up to ₹5,000 and other sources (interest etc.). If you have capital gains, more than one house property, foreign assets/income, director-in-company status or unlisted equity holdings, you fall out of ITR-1 and must use ITR-2. ITR-1 has been amended for AY 2024-25 onwards to capture the New Regime opt-out via Form 10-IEA reporting.

For R&OR taxpayers in Ascendas IT Park with foreign bank accounts, foreign equity, immovable property abroad or trust interest — Schedule FA filled completely with peak/opening/closing balances. Section 43 Black Money Act ₹10 lakh per-AY penalty avoided.

AIS Feedback for Mismatch

Where AIS reports duplicate / wrong-PAN / non-taxable entries, AIS feedback is submitted on the portal — 'Information is duplicate', 'Relates to another PAN', 'Income is not taxable' — with the TIS updated before Ascendas IT Park clients' returns are filed.

Defective Return Section 139(9) Cure

If CPC issues a Section 139(9) defective return notice, the cured return is filed within the 15-day window (plus 15-day extension on application). The return is treated as filed on the original date — Section 139(1) compliance preserved.

Updated Return ITR-U Section 139(8A)

Where additional income surfaces post-filing, ITR-U under Section 139(8A) is filed within 48 months from end of relevant AY (extended from 24 by Finance Act 2025) with Section 140B additional tax — 25%/50%/60%/70% across the four 12-month tranches.

Capital Gains Computed Correctly
Listed equity LTCG at 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh, STCG at 20%, property grandfathering 12.5%-without-indexation versus 20%-with-indexation evaluated both ways — minimum tax outcome selected for each Ascendas IT Park client.

Comparison

Old Regime vs New Regime u/s 115BAC

Why this matters here — Ascendas IT Park businesses operate where the cluster of it services, ites, software businesses that defines Ascendas IT Park's commercial fabric, and served by short connections to Tharamani and Tidel Park and onward to central Chennai.

AspectOld RegimeNew Regime u/s 115BAC
Default status for AY 2025-26Opt-in regime — requires affirmative election by furnishing Form 10-IEA before the Section 139(1) due date for taxpayers having business or professional incomeDefault regime by operation of Section 115BAC(1A) for individuals, HUFs, AOPs (other than co-operative societies), BOIs and AJPs
Exit and re-entry ruleSalaried taxpayer with no business income may switch year-on-year; taxpayer with business income gets only one lifetime opt-back into Section 115BAC after exitAvailable every year by default; the lifetime restriction in Section 115BAC(6) bites only on a business-income taxpayer who has exercised the opt-out and later wishes to return
Section 87A rebate ceilingRebate up to ₹12,500 where total income does not exceed ₹5,00,000Rebate up to ₹25,000 where total income does not exceed ₹7,00,000, with marginal relief on income marginally above the ₹7 lakh ceiling
Standard deduction for salary income₹50,000 under Section 16(ia)₹75,000 under Section 16(ia) as substituted by Finance (No. 2) Act 2024
Chapter VI-A deductionsSections 80C, 80D, 80E, 80G, 80TTA, 80TTB and the full Chapter VI-A suite are admissible subject to the respective ceilingsBar under Section 115BAC(2) — only employer's NPS contribution under Section 80CCD(2), Agniveer Corpus Fund under 80CCH(2) and Section 80JJAA are admissible
HRA, LTA and Section 10 exemptionsHRA exemption under Section 10(13A) read with Rule 2A and LTA under Section 10(5) read with Rule 2B are admissible against salaryBoth exemptions are denied by the proviso to Section 115BAC(2); only transport allowance for divyang employees and certain other narrow heads survive
House property interest treatmentSection 24(b) interest up to ₹2,00,000 for self-occupied property is deductible; loss may be set off against other heads subject to the ₹2,00,000 cap of Section 71(3A)Section 24(b) interest on self-occupied property is wholly disallowed; for let-out property interest is allowed but the resulting loss cannot be set off against any other head
Surcharge architecture above ₹5 croreSurcharge slabs of 10/15/25/37 per cent based on income brackets, with the 37 per cent rate kicking in above ₹5 crore for non-capital-gains incomeHighest surcharge capped at 25 per cent by the proviso to Paragraph A of Part I of the First Schedule, eliminating the 37 per cent bracket for opting taxpayers
Carry forward of lossesBusiness and capital-gain losses carry forward and may be set off subject to Sections 70 to 80, including unabsorbed depreciation under Section 32(2)Brought-forward loss and unabsorbed depreciation attributable to disallowed deductions cannot be set off in the New Regime year per the proviso to Section 115BAC(2)
Form prescribed to exercise electionBusiness-income taxpayer files Form 10-IEA on or before the due date under Section 139(1) to opt out of the New RegimeNo separate form for default regime; for salaried-only taxpayers election is made within the ITR itself by ticking the regime field
Break-even arithmetic for salaried taxpayerGenerally beneficial where verified Chapter VI-A and Section 10 exemptions (80C plus 80D plus HRA plus 24(b)) exceed ₹4.5 lakh for income around ₹15 lakhBeneficial where the taxpayer cannot substantiate that deduction load — preferred for taxpayers with limited investments, no HRA exposure and no housing loan interest
Statutory anchorSlab rates under the First Schedule to the Finance Act read with Section 4 of the Income Tax Act 1961Concessional slabs under Section 115BAC(1A) inserted by Finance Act 2020 and substituted by Finance Act 2023

Income Tax E-Filing in Ascendas IT Park — Complete Guide

First conversation with the client is short and structural. Source list — salary, capital markets, house property, business, foreign — and a residency check based on Section 6 day-counts. Then I confirm whether last year was filed under the old slabs or under 115BAC, because that decides whether Form 10-IEA was on file and whether the once-in-lifetime reversal is still available. Only after these two are answered do we ask for documents.

People Also Ask — IT Return in Ascendas IT Park
Which ITR form should I file for AY 2025-26?
ITR-1 (Sahaj) — resident with salary, one house property, other-source interest, total income up to ₹50 lakh. ITR-2 — capital gains, two or more properties, foreign assets, RNOR/NR. ITR-3 — business or professional income with books. ITR-4 (Sugam) — presumptive under Section 44AD/44ADA/44AE. Capital gains of even ₹100 push you out of ITR-1.
What is the deadline for filing ITR for AY 2025-26?
Section 139(1) — 31 July 2025 for individuals/HUFs not subject to audit, 31 October 2025 for Section 44AB tax-audit cases and partners of audit firms, 30 November 2025 for taxpayers required to file Form 3CEB under Section 92E (international / specified domestic transactions). CBDT may extend by circular in unusual years.
Should I choose Old Regime or New Regime?
From FY 2023-24 the New Regime under Section 115BAC(1A) is the default. Choose New Regime if your eligible Old-Regime deductions (80C+80D+24(b)+10(13A) HRA etc.) total less than the slab-rate gap — typically below ₹3.5-4 lakh of deductions. Salaried can switch each year; business/professional income filers must file Form 10-IEA and the opt-out reversal is once-in-a-lifetime.
What if AIS shows income that I have not earned?
Submit feedback in the AIS portal — 'Information is duplicate', 'Relates to another PAN', 'Income is not taxable' etc. The TIS gets updated. Retain documentary proof. ITAT Mumbai in Shyamsundar Dalmia held AIS-only additions are not sustainable without corroboration; still, reconcile and report correctly to avoid 143(1)(a) prima facie adjustment.
How much late fee will I pay for filing after 31 July?
Section 234F — ₹5,000 if total income exceeds ₹5,00,000; ₹1,000 if total income is up to ₹5,00,000. Plus Section 234A interest at 1% per month on tax payable from 1 August till date of filing. Belated return under Section 139(4) is allowed up to 31 December 2025; thereafter only ITR-U under Section 139(8A) with additional tax.
What is the difference between Form 26AS and AIS?
Form 26AS (Section 285BB read with Rule 114-I) shows TDS, TCS, advance tax, self-assessment tax and refunds. AIS (Annual Information Statement) is broader — SFT entries on interest, dividend, securities transactions, mutual fund redemptions, foreign remittances, rent, GST turnover, savings interest. TIS is the AIS aggregated/processed view used by CPC.
What is the tax-audit due date for AY 2025-26?

The Section 44AB audit report in Form 3CD plus Form 3CA/3CB must be uploaded by 30 September 2025 (CBDT extensions excepted), and the return under Section 139(1) second proviso filed by 31 October 2025 for audit-liable taxpayers.

How does presumptive Section 44ADA apply for professionals?

Section 44ADA permits resident individuals, HUFs and partnership firms (not LLPs) in specified professions with gross receipts up to ₹50 lakh (₹75 lakh where cash receipts do not exceed 5 per cent) to offer 50 per cent of receipts as deemed profit.

Is there a cap on how many times a return can be revised?

No, Section 139(5) imposes no numerical cap. Returns may be revised up to 31 December of the AY or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. Each revision supersedes the prior version; only the latest revision is operative for processing.

What is the difference between a revised return and an updated return?

A revised return under Section 139(5) corrects errors and is filed up to 31 December of AY without additional tax. An updated return under Section 139(8A) is filed thereafter (within 48 months) and attracts additional tax of 25 to 70 per cent under Section 140B.

Can an updated return show a refund or reduce tax liability?

No. The proviso to Section 139(8A) bars an ITR-U where the result is a refund, a loss, or a reduction in tax liability compared to the earlier return. ITR-U is permitted only where additional tax liability is being disclosed.

What is the difference between Form 26AS, AIS and TIS?

Form 26AS shows TDS, TCS and tax-credit entries. AIS is the wider Annual Information Statement under Section 285BB covering SFT reports (interest, dividends, securities, property, foreign remittances). TIS is the simplified taxpayer-information summary derived from AIS after feedback adjustments.

What is income tax e-filing and who must file

Voluntary filing rationale

Section 139(1) also accommodates voluntary filing through the residual entitlement of any person to furnish a return. Voluntary filers commonly include individuals with income below the threshold seeking refund of TDS deducted under Section 194A on bank interest or Section 194 on dividends, students wishing to establish income-tax history for visa or loan applications, and persons with carried-forward capital losses under Section 74 who must file within the Section 139(1) due date to preserve the carry-forward right. The OECD 2014 working paper on tax compliance behaviour identifies refund-driven voluntary filing as a substantial component of self-assessment regimes globally, and the Indian e-filing data released through the CBDT annual reports confirms a comparable pattern, with the share of nil-return and refund-only filers exceeding twenty percent of total filers in recent years. Voluntary filers should however note that once filed, the return becomes amenable to Section 143(1) processing and any Section 143(2) selection.

International comparisons of filing scope

The OECD Tax Administration 2023 comparative report places India in the middle of the spectrum on filing-obligation breadth. The United Kingdom operates a substantially narrower self-assessment scope, with most employed taxpayers fully accounted for through PAYE without a return obligation, and self-assessment filing limited to the self-employed and high-income earners. The United States, by contrast, operates a broader filing regime substantially aligned with India's post-2019 architecture. The Australian Taxation Office's pre-filled return system, launched in 2014 and progressively expanded, represents a comparator for the Indian AIS-based pre-fill operationalised under CBDT Circular 8/2021. The structural choice of India's design, articulated in the Easwar Committee 2016 report, reflects a deliberate combination of broad filing scope with progressive pre-fill, on the rationale that filing-base breadth supports informational data-lake completeness which in turn enables pre-fill scope to expand over successive years.

Statutory anchor in Section 139(1)

Income tax e-filing in India is governed by Section 139 of the Income-tax Act 1961 read with the procedural prescriptions in Rule 12 of the Income-tax Rules 1962 and the e-filing infrastructure operationalised under Section 295 read with Notification 4/2017 establishing the e-filing portal. Section 139(1) casts the primary obligation on every person whose total income before giving effect to Chapter VI-A deductions, Section 54 series exemptions, or the proviso to Section 10(38) exceeds the basic exemption limit applicable to the relevant assessment year. The provision was substantially restructured by Finance Act 2019 to introduce mandatory return-filing triggers under the seventh proviso to Section 139(1) for high-value transactions even where total income is below threshold, including bank deposits exceeding one crore rupees, foreign travel expenditure exceeding two lakh rupees, and electricity consumption exceeding one lakh rupees. The OECD Tax Administration 2023 comparative report identifies India among the jurisdictions with the broadest combination of income-based and transaction-based filing triggers, reflecting a deliberate widening of the assessee base independent of taxable-income status.

Who must file under Section 139(1)

Companies, firms and LLPs

Companies and firms (including LLPs) face a mandatory filing obligation under clause (a) of Section 139(1) regardless of income, loss or absence of activity. The obligation applies from the financial year of incorporation onwards, with dormant companies and nil-activity LLPs equally required to file annual returns. The trigger is structural — registration under the Companies Act 2013 or the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008 creates the filing obligation independent of any income-generation event. Finance Act 2020 introduced the optional concessional rate of twenty-two percent under Section 115BAA for domestic companies and fifteen percent under Section 115BAB for new manufacturing companies, with both elections requiring Form 10-IC or Form 10-ID respectively before the Section 139(1) due date. The election is irrevocable per Section 115BAA(5) and Section 115BAB(7), making the year-of-first-election decision strategically significant.

Trusts, political parties and exempt entities

Section 139(4A) applies to trusts and institutions holding registration under Section 12A or 12AB, requiring filing where total income (before Section 11 exemption) exceeds the basic exemption. Section 139(4B) applies to political parties registered under Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act 1951. Section 139(4C) applies to research associations, news agencies, educational institutions, hospitals and other Section 10 exempt entities. The Finance Act 2022 introduced Form ITR-7 for these categories with extensive schedules including the Schedule J on details of investments under Section 11(5), Schedule LA on details of accumulation under Section 11(2), and Schedule TR on details of taxable income components. Audit under Section 12A(b) by a chartered accountant in Form 10B is a precondition for the Section 11 exemption, with the audit report filing deadline of one month before the Section 139(1) due date under Rule 17B.

High-value-transaction triggers

The seventh proviso to Section 139(1) and the subsequent Rule 12AB triggers operate independently of total income. The seventh proviso mandates filing where the person has deposited an aggregate amount exceeding one crore rupees in current accounts, incurred expenditure exceeding two lakh rupees on foreign travel for self or any other person, or incurred electricity consumption exceeding one lakh rupees during the previous year. Rule 12AB extends to business turnover exceeding sixty lakh rupees, professional gross receipts exceeding ten lakh rupees, aggregate TDS or TCS of twenty-five thousand rupees (fifty thousand for senior citizens), and aggregate savings bank deposits of fifty lakh rupees or more. The architecture, traceable to the Tax Administration Reform Commission 2014 report on widening the filing base through transaction-based indicators rather than income-only triggers, represents a structural shift toward an informational tax base.

ITR forms by taxpayer category

ITR-1 Sahaj for salaried individuals

ITR-1 Sahaj is applicable to resident individuals (other than not ordinarily resident) with total income up to fifty lakh rupees from salary, one house property, other sources (interest, dividend, family pension), and agricultural income up to five thousand rupees. The form is unavailable to directors of companies, persons holding unlisted equity, persons with foreign assets or foreign income under Schedule FA, persons claiming relief under Section 90 or 91 for double-taxation, persons with brought-forward losses or losses to be carried forward, and persons with income chargeable under capital gains (other than gains exempt under Section 54). The simplified form was redesigned in assessment year 2022-23 to incorporate the AIS-pre-filled architecture, reducing the schedules to a single-page summary with detail-substantiation drawn from AIS-fed dropdowns rather than manual entry, consistent with the OECD-recommended progressive pre-fill model.

ITR-2 for capital gains and multiple income sources

ITR-2 is applicable to individuals and Hindu undivided families who do not have income from business or profession, but who fall outside the ITR-1 ambit due to capital gains, foreign income or assets, more than one house property, total income above fifty lakh rupees, or directorship status. The form includes the comprehensive Schedule CG capturing short-term and long-term capital gains with the post-23-July-2024 rate harmonisation under Finance (No. 2) Act 2024, Schedule HP for multiple house properties with the Section 24(b) interest deduction working, Schedule FA for foreign asset disclosure under Section 285BB read with the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act 2015, Schedule FSI for foreign source income, and Schedule TR for tax-relief claims under treaty or unilateral Section 91 relief. The form's complexity reflects the Vijay Kelkar Committee's articulation of category-specific disclosure depth in proportion to income complexity.

ITR-3 for business and professional income

ITR-3 applies to individuals and Hindu undivided families having income from business or profession not eligible for the presumptive schemes under Sections 44AD, 44ADA or 44AE, or where the assessee has elected out of the presumptive scheme. The form includes Schedule BP capturing the detailed business profit-and-loss with depreciation working in Schedule DPM and Schedule DOA, the Section 44AB audit-report linkage where applicable, Schedule CFL for carry-forward and set-off of losses under Sections 70 to 74A, and Schedule ICDS for income-computation-and-disclosure-standard adjustments under Section 145(2). The form is the principal vehicle for individual entrepreneurs, professionals exceeding the Section 44ADA seventy-five lakh threshold, and any business taxpayer whose books are maintained under Section 44AA. The structural placement of ITR-3 between the presumptive ITR-4 and the entity-level ITR-5/6 reflects the design principle of form complexity scaling with income complexity.

Form 26AS and AIS reconciliation

Three-way reconciliation methodology

Best-practice reconciliation methodology now operates on a three-way basis. The first leg compares Form 26AS TDS entries against the deductor-issued certificates in Form 16, Form 16A, Form 16B and Form 16C, identifying any deductor-reporting omissions. The second leg compares AIS line items against the taxpayer's primary records (bank statements, broker contract notes, demat statements, FIRC documents), identifying any over-reporting by AIS information-source entities. The third leg compares the reconciled position against the proposed return entries, ensuring that no third-party-reported income is omitted and no duplicate is included. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration 2022 update on pre-filled returns identifies this triangulation as the operational best practice in jurisdictions transitioning from manual to pre-filled architectures, with India's CBDT-issued AIS instruction handbook adopting the same triangulation principle.

Form 26AS architecture under Rule 114-I

Form 26AS is governed by Rule 114-I of the Income-tax Rules 1962 and serves as the consolidated tax-credit ledger of an assessee, drawing from the TIN-NSDL ecosystem operationalised under Section 200(3) and Section 203AA. The statement captures TDS deducted under Sections 192 to 196D and reported through quarterly TDS returns in Forms 24Q, 26Q, 27Q and 27EQ, TCS collected under Section 206C, advance tax and self-assessment tax payments under Section 211 and Section 140A, refunds disbursed under Section 244A, and high-value-transaction information under Section 285BA where applicable. Rule 114-I underwent substantive restructuring through Notification 30/2020 dated 28 May 2020, expanding the scope to include specified financial transactions and refund details, marking the operational transition toward the wider Annual Information Statement architecture introduced in 2021.

Annual Information Statement architecture

The Annual Information Statement (AIS) was introduced through CBDT Circular 8/2021 dated 13 May 2021 under Section 285BB read with Rule 114-I and Section 285BA Statement of Financial Transactions. AIS captures a substantially wider universe than Form 26AS, including securities transactions reported by depositories and registrars under Rule 114E, mutual fund transactions, dividend disbursements under Section 194 from listed and unlisted companies, interest from banks under Section 194A, rent and salary perquisites where reportable, and foreign remittance information under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme reporting. The AIS framework distinguishes between Information Source data and Modified Value data, allowing the taxpayer to submit AIS feedback under five categories (information is correct, information is not fully correct, information relates to other person, information is duplicate, information is denied) to refine the data ahead of return finalisation.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — Ascendas IT Park businesses operate where where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds.

Gross Total Income

Gross Total Income is the aggregate of income under the five heads before deductions under Chapter VI-A. Section 80A bars total Chapter VI-A deductions from exceeding the gross total income. Definition flows from Section 80B(5).

PAN

PAN is the Permanent Account Number — a ten-character alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department under Section 139A. PAN is the primary key for all income-tax filings, TDS credits, AIS and Form 26AS. Quotation of PAN is mandatory for high-value transactions specified in Rule 114B.

Aadhaar Linkage

Aadhaar Linkage is the mapping of PAN with the Aadhaar number under Section 139AA. Failure to link by the notified date renders the PAN inoperative under Rule 114AAA — refund withheld and TDS at higher rate under Section 206AA / 206CC. Linkage is restored on payment of the prescribed late fee.

Old Tax Regime

Old Tax Regime is the legacy slab-rate framework that permits deductions under Chapter VI-A (Sections 80C, 80D, 80G and others) and allowances such as house rent allowance under Section 10(13A) and standard deduction. After AY 2024-25 it is the opt-in regime; the new regime under Section 115BAC is the default.

New Tax Regime

New Tax Regime is the concessional-slab framework under Section 115BAC of the Income-tax Act. From AY 2024-25 it is the default regime for individuals, HUFs, AOPs (non-cooperative), BOIs and artificial juridical persons. Most Chapter VI-A deductions are withdrawn save Section 80CCD(2) and Section 80JJAA.

Form 10-IEA

Form 10-IEA is the prescribed form to opt out of the default new regime under Section 115BAC(6). To be furnished electronically on or before the due date under Section 139(1) for the relevant assessment year. Once exercised by a business or profession assessee the option is generally irrevocable.

Basic Exemption Limit

Basic Exemption Limit is the income up to which no tax is payable. Under the new regime it is ₹3 lakh for AY 2025-26; under the old regime it remains ₹2.5 lakh for those below 60, ₹3 lakh for senior citizens and ₹5 lakh for super senior citizens.

Resident

Resident is the status under Section 6 conferred on an individual who satisfies the 182-day rule or the 60-plus-365-day rule in the previous year. Companies are resident if incorporated in India or have their place of effective management in India. Residency determines the scope of income chargeable under Section 5.

Not Ordinarily Resident

Not Ordinarily Resident is the intermediate status for an individual who is resident in India for the previous year but has been non-resident in nine out of the ten preceding previous years, or has been in India for 729 days or less in seven preceding previous years. Foreign-source income other than from a business controlled in India is excluded.

Non-Resident

Non-Resident is the status of a person who does not satisfy the conditions of residence under Section 6. Tax is chargeable only on income received or accrued in India or deemed to accrue in India under Section 9. ITR-2 is the typical form; ITR-1 is unavailable.

Salary Income

Salary Income is the income chargeable under the head Salaries — Sections 15 to 17. Includes basic pay, dearness allowance, house rent allowance, perquisites, profits in lieu of salary and pension. Standard deduction of ₹50,000 (₹75,000 under the new regime from AY 2025-26) is allowable under Section 16(ia).

House Property Income

House Property Income is the income computed under Sections 22 to 27. The annual value of property held by the assessee, other than property occupied for own business, is chargeable after standard deduction at 30 percent under Section 24(a) and interest on borrowed capital under Section 24(b).

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Ascendas IT Park

How the local trade mix shapes this — Ascendas IT Park businesses operate where where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds, and the cluster of it services, ites, software businesses that defines Ascendas IT Park's commercial fabric.

IT Services
Common issue: Salaried software professionals at multinational technology employers frequently receive ESOP perquisites taxed at exercise under Section 17(2)(vi) and reported in Form 16 Part B, yet the subsequent sale produces a separate capital gains event under Section 49(2AA) where the cost of acquisition is the perquisite-tax-base. Many filers omit the second leg from the return entirely, treating the employer-level taxation as final, which produces an AIS-versus-return mismatch on the depository-reported sale transaction.
How we handle it: Reconcile the ESOP perquisite value disclosed in Form 16 against the depository-reported sale value in AIS; compute the capital gains separately under Section 49(2AA) at the difference between sale consideration and fair market value on the exercise date; classify the holding period from the date of allotment rather than the grant date; disclose both legs in Schedule Salary and Schedule CG of ITR-2 to align with the OECD model on equity-based remuneration.
IT Services
Common issue: Independent software consultants invoicing overseas clients in foreign currency often receive payments through wire transfer and intermediary payment platforms, generating receipts that AIS reports as bank credits without the export-of-service character. When the consultant elects presumptive taxation under Section 44ADA at fifty percent deemed profit, the AIS feedback loop does not differentiate domestic from export receipts, leaving the taxpayer to substantiate convertibility and FIRC realisation under the Foreign Exchange Management Act framework.
How we handle it: Obtain Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates from the authorised dealer bank for each remittance and reconcile against AIS; where Section 44ADA is opted, maintain a receipts ledger keyed to FIRC numbers; if turnover exceeds the seventy-five lakh rupees Section 44ADA threshold (with the cash-receipts proviso at five percent), transition to ITR-3 with books of account under Section 44AA; submit AIS feedback to recharacterise pure export receipts.
IT Services
Common issue: Indian software companies receiving consideration from non-resident customers for software-as-a-service or cloud-hosted services face the recurring question of whether such receipts constitute royalty under Section 9(1)(vi) read with Explanation 2 and Explanation 4 (broadened post Finance Act 2012). The Engineering Analysis Centre of Excellence ruling (Supreme Court 2021) clarified the position for off-the-shelf shrink-wrapped software, but cloud-services characterisation remains contested, affecting Section 195 withholding and treaty-rate eligibility.
How we handle it: Characterise each cross-border service receipt against the Engineering Analysis Centre framework, distinguishing licensed software from service receipts; where treaty benefits are claimed under the relevant Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, ensure the customer has provided a Tax Residency Certificate and the Form 10F is filed electronically; document the characterisation in transfer-pricing documentation and the audit report; align the Indian-side Section 9(1)(vi) position with the customer-side Section 195 withholding documentation.
Retail
Common issue: Retail traders maintaining inventory of fast-moving consumer goods experience valuation timing differences between the cost method declared in audit working papers and the cost-or-net-realisable-value disclosure required under Section 145A read with ICDS II. The mismatch surfaces in Section 143(1)(a) prima facie adjustments where the audit report shows one value and the ITR Schedule TPSA shows another, particularly for slow-moving stock written down at year-end.
How we handle it: Align the closing stock valuation in Schedule BP and Schedule TPSA with the Form 3CD clause 14(b) disclosure on ICDS adjustments; where net realisable value triggers a writedown, document the basis under ICDS II paragraph 9 in the audit working file; ensure GST inward-supply records and ITC ledgers reconcile to the income tax inventory figures within the framework recommended by the OECD Forum on Tax Administration on cross-tax-base alignment.
Wholesale
Common issue: Wholesale distributors operating on commission or sub-distribution arrangements receive Section 194H TDS deductions at five percent on brokerage and commission, while the principal-to-distributor margin is sometimes recharacterised as commission by the principal at year-end. The distributor's books reflect a trading margin and ITR-3 Schedule BP discloses turnover and profit, while Form 26AS reports gross commission under Section 194H, producing a structural reclassification dispute on the receipts side.
How we handle it: Distinguish in writing through the distribution agreement whether the relationship is principal-to-principal (margin model) or principal-to-agent (commission model); where Form 26AS reports Section 194H entries inconsistent with the contractual position, raise a Rule 37BA correction request to the deductor; report the receipts in Schedule BP on the contractual basis with a reconciliation note disclosed in the audit report clause 27 if applicable; pursue Section 154 rectification post-intimation if needed.

Section 139(9) defectiveIT Services

Section 139(9) defective return because Schedule TR was blank for a one-day NRI

Issue: A senior software engineer at a Sholinganallur firm spent 184 days in the United States on a project and came back in March. We filed his ITR-2 as a resident under Section 6(1)(c) because the day-count just crossed the limit on the year-end side. CPC issued a Section 139(9) defective notice in October citing Schedule TR mismatch — foreign tax credit had been claimed under Section 90 but Form 67 was uploaded after the return was filed, not before. The defect window under Rule 12B was 15 days from receipt of the notice.
Approach: We pulled the Form 67 acknowledgement number, the US W-2 and the foreign tax paid certificate, refiled Schedule TR with all five columns properly populated (country code, TIN, income head, tax paid, relief claimed), and submitted the corrected ITR-2 under the same acknowledgement chain within seven days of the notice. We also re-uploaded Form 67 with a fresh ARN to clear the chronological mismatch — Rule 128 requires Form 67 to be filed on or before the return due date, and a fresh filing reset the timeline cleanly.
Outcome: Defective notice cured on first revised submission; foreign tax credit of ₹2.86 lakh accepted; refund of ₹1.14 lakh processed within 21 days of the revised filing; no Section 139(9) lapse to invalid; client agreed to file Form 67 with us by 30th June in future years before the ITR was even drafted.
Section 80D age thresholdIT Services

Section 80D parents-cover claimed at ₹50,000 — but parent's age was 58

Issue: A software architect at Tidel Park wanted to claim ₹50,000 under Section 80D for his father's health insurance premium, citing the senior-citizen-parent enhanced limit. Across our practice this is the second most common 80D misclaim — Section 80D(2)(ii) treats the higher ₹50,000 limit as applicable only if the parent is a senior citizen, defined as aged sixty years or more during the previous year. His father was 58, so the cap was ₹25,000 — a swing of ₹25,000 in deduction, roughly ₹7,800 in tax for a 31.2% slab payer.
Approach: We verified the father's date of birth from the Aadhaar copy, confirmed he was indeed 58 in the relevant previous year, and capped the 80D parents-cover deduction at ₹25,000. We also added ₹5,000 of preventive health check-up under Section 80D(2)(e) for the family — many clients miss this micro-deduction because the medical bill is sub-₹5,000 and feels not worth tracking. Total 80D after this rework came to ₹55,000 (self+spouse+children at ₹25,000 plus parents at ₹25,000 plus preventive ₹5,000).
Outcome: Deduction kept within statutory ceiling; no over-claim exposure; client educated that the ₹50,000 parent cap would unlock in two years when the father crossed sixty; old regime computation chosen on the basis of the corrected 80D plus 80C plus home loan interest — net tax saving of ₹68,000 against new regime.
Schedule FA non-disclosureIT Services

Foreign assets in Schedule FA missed — Black Money Act exposure averted

Issue: An IT architect with ESOPs vested while on a deputation to a US parent company had USD 38,000 worth of vested-but-unsold RSUs sitting in a Charles Schwab account. He filed ITR-2 the previous year through a generic online portal which skipped Schedule FA entirely. Schedule FA non-disclosure attracts a ₹10 lakh penalty under Section 43 of the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) Act 2015 per year of default — orders of magnitude harsher than ordinary Income Tax Act consequences.
Approach: We did not file a revised return for the prior year — Section 139(5) window had closed on 31st December. Instead we filed an updated return under Section 139(8A) within the 24-month window, disclosing the Schedule FA position, paying the additional tax of ₹6,800 plus 25% additional under Section 140B, and getting the disclosure on record before any Black Money Act proceedings could be initiated. The current year ITR-2 was filed with full Schedule FA — peak balance, closing balance, country code, and the broker account number disclosed precisely.
Outcome: Updated return accepted; ₹26,800 of tax-plus-additional paid voluntarily; Black Money Act exposure of ₹10 lakh per year permanently averted by pre-emptive disclosure; client added to a foreign-asset annual review track; Schedule FA discipline now built into every ITR-2 intake checklist.
Section 80C trapSalaried Professional

Section 80C maximised at ₹1.5 lakh — but the LIC premium was for an in-laws policy

Issue: A bank officer's wife asked us to claim ₹62,000 of LIC premium paid for her mother's policy under her own Section 80C. Across our intake reviews we see this exact misclaim roughly twice a month — Section 80C(2)(i) read with Section 80C(4) restricts the life insurance premium deduction to policies on self, spouse and children only. A policy on a parent, parent-in-law or sibling does not qualify, however genuine the payment.
Approach: We pulled the policy documents and confirmed the life assured was the mother-in-law. We declined the claim with a one-page note explaining the Section 80C(4) restriction and re-worked her 80C basket using genuine eligibles only — her own EPF contribution of ₹74,000, the principal repayment leg of her home loan of ₹38,000 under Section 80C(2)(xviii), and ₹50,000 of fresh PPF contribution made before 31st March. We also flagged that the mother-in-law's premium, if paid by the son, could qualify under his return only — useful reallocation advice for the family.
Outcome: Section 80C claim cleanly built up to ₹1.62 lakh of which ₹1.5 lakh was usable; no overstated deduction in the return; AIS-Form 26AS reconciliation matched; client's tax outflow against the old regime was ₹78,000 lower than under new — old regime correctly selected; no Section 143(1)(a) adjustment risk.

CPC issued Section 143(1) intimation accepting the return — no demand, no 143(1)(a) adjustment.”

“My husband and I both file ITR — he is salaried (ITR-1), I run a tuition centre under Section 44AD presumptive (ITR-4). FilingPro handles both. Section 234B advance tax estimated and paid by 15 March, GST turnover cross-tied to ITR receipts, Form 10-IEA filed for my Old Regime opt-out. Zero notices in 3 years.”

Income Tax E-Filing
“Got a defective return notice under Section 139(9) on the originally filed ITR-3 — P&L summary mismatch. FilingPro analysed the defect, filed the cured return within the 15-day window plus a 15-day extension, and the return was treated as valid on the original date. Section 139(1) compliance preserved.”

Income Tax E-Filing
“NRI ITR-2 with Schedule FA disclosure — three foreign bank accounts in Singapore and US brokerage equity. FilingPro completed the Schedule FA fully (peak balance, opening, closing, interest), filed Form 67 for foreign tax credit under Section 90, and the refund of ₹89,400 was credited in 32 days.”

Income Tax E-Filing
“Filed ITR-U under Section 139(8A) for AY 2022-23 — had missed disclosing ₹4.2 lakh of contract receipts. FilingPro computed the additional 25% tax under Section 140B (filed within 24-month tranche), submitted ITR-U cleanly. CPC processed without query. Updated return discipline saved a potential Section 270A penalty proceeding.”

IT Return FAQ — Ascendas IT Park

Common questions from Ascendas IT Park clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

ITR-1 (Sahaj) is for resident individuals (not RNOR/NR) with total income up to ₹50 lakh from salary, one house property, family pension, agricultural income up to ₹5,000 and other sources (interest etc.). If you have capital gains, more than one house property, foreign assets/income, director-in-company status or unlisted equity holdings, you fall out of ITR-1 and must use ITR-2. ITR-1 has been amended for AY 2024-25 onwards to capture the New Regime opt-out via Form 10-IEA reporting.
Per CBDT Notification 5/2022 dated 29-Jul-2022 (read with subsequent updates), an e-filed return must be verified within 30 days of transmission. Modes: (a) Aadhaar OTP linked to PAN-registered mobile, (b) Net-banking EVC, (c) Bank account / Demat account EVC, (d) Digital Signature Certificate (mandatory for tax-audit cases and companies), (e) ITR-V signed and posted to CPC Bengaluru. Beyond 30 days the return is treated as filed on the date of verification — risking belated-return classification.
Yes. Along with Ascendas IT Park, we serve Tharamani and the wider Chennai South belt for Income Tax E-Filing. Wherever you are in this part of Chennai, the process and our 9566-068-468 line stay the same.
Form 26AS (Rule 31AB / Section 285BB read with Rule 114-I) is the tax credit statement showing TDS, TCS, advance tax, self-assessment tax and refund. AIS (Annual Information Statement) is a wider compilation under Section 285BB covering SFT reports — interest, dividend, securities transactions, mutual fund redemptions, foreign remittances, GST turnover etc. TIS (Taxpayer Information Summary) is the AIS aggregated/processed version. Reconcile all three before filing; AIS feedback can be submitted online to flag incorrect entries.
Yes — credit is available on the basis of Form 26AS / TDS certificate (Form 16, Form 16A) under Section 199 read with Rule 37BA, even if the deductor has not yet filed the TDS return reflecting the entry. Where the deductor has defaulted, the assessee should produce the TDS certificate and bank credit proof; CPC routinely allows the credit on rectification under Section 154. (Bombay HC in Yashpal Sahni v. ACIT held that credit cannot be denied to the deductee for the deductor's default.)
Yes. Ascendas IT Park has an active base of captive centres and allied businesses, and we regularly handle IT Return for exactly these kinds of clients. We tailor the approach to your line of work rather than applying a one-size template.
Under Section 87A read with the proviso inserted by Finance Act 2023, a resident individual taxed under Section 115BAC(1A) gets a rebate of up to ₹25,000 if total income does not exceed ₹7,00,000 — making tax NIL up to that threshold. Marginal relief is available where income marginally exceeds ₹7 lakh. Under the Old Regime the Section 87A rebate is capped at ₹12,500 for income up to ₹5,00,000.
Schedule CG of the AY 2025-26 utility is bifurcated to capture transfers up to 22-July-2024 separately from those on or after 23-July-2024. Listed equity LTCG under Section 112A is computed at ten per cent on the pre-cutoff slice with the older one-lakh exemption, and at twelve and a half per cent on the post-cutoff slice with the new one-twenty-five-thousand exemption. STCG under Section 111A moves from fifteen to twenty per cent across the same cutoff. For immovable property held by a resident individual or HUF and acquired before 23-July-2024, the grandfathering choice between twenty per cent with indexation and twelve and a half per cent without indexation is computed both ways and the lower-tax option is selected on a per-asset basis.
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, IT Return for Ascendas IT Park clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
Section 139(8A), inserted by Finance Act 2022 and amended by Finance Act 2025, permits an updated return up to 48 months from the end of the relevant assessment year (extended from 24 months). Additional tax under Section 140B is 25% of aggregate tax+interest if filed within 12 months from end of relevant AY, 50% within 24 months, 60% within 36 months and 70% within 48 months. ITR-U cannot be filed to claim/enhance refund or reduce tax liability — only to disclose additional income.
Yes. Any return filed under Section 139(1), 139(4) or in response to a Section 142(1) notice may be revised under Section 139(5) up to 31 December of the assessment year (31 December 2025 for AY 2025-26) or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. There is no limit on the number of revisions; only the latest revised return is taken on record.
Ascendas IT Park (PIN 600113) falls under the Velachery Division, Chennai South commissionerate. Getting the jurisdiction right matters because registrations, filings and notices are routed through the correct office. We confirm and handle the right jurisdiction for every Ascendas IT Park engagement.
Yes. Section 80 of the Income Tax Act 1961 expressly bars the carry-forward of losses under Sections 72 (business), 73 (speculation), 73A (specified business), 74 (capital gains) and 74A (race horse) where the return reflecting such loss is not filed within the time prescribed under Section 139(1). House property loss carry-forward under Section 71B is, however, available even on a belated return. The assessee with a loss position in any non-house-property head must therefore meet the original due date strictly. The Supreme Court has affirmed in successive decisions that the bar in Section 80 is mandatory and cannot be relaxed even on equitable considerations by the appellate forum.
Section 234A levies simple interest at the rate of one per cent for every month, or part of a month, comprised in the period commencing on the date immediately following the due date under Section 139(1) and ending on the date of furnishing of the return. The interest is computed on the amount of tax determined under Section 143(1) or on regular assessment, after reduction of advance tax, tax deducted at source and tax collected at source. Where Section 143(1) intimation reduces the demand, the interest is recomputed; where regular assessment alters the figure, the levy follows the assessed liability.
Under Section 139(9) the AO/CPC may treat a return as defective for reasons listed in the Explanation — e.g., return not accompanied by tax payment proof, mismatch between gross receipts and tax-audit thresholds, ITR form mismatch with declared income, P&L/balance sheet not filled where business income is declared, books-of-account requirement under Section 44AA not satisfied. The taxpayer is given 15 days to rectify (extendable on application). Failure to cure makes the return invalid — i.e., treated as if never filed.
Section 56(2)(x) taxes any sum of money exceeding ₹50,000 in aggregate received without consideration as 'income from other sources'. Immovable property received without consideration with stamp duty value over ₹50,000 — entire stamp value is taxable. For inadequate consideration, the difference (if exceeding ₹50,000 or 10% of consideration, whichever is higher) is taxed. Exemptions: gifts from relatives (defined), on marriage, by will/inheritance, from local authority/specified trust. Reportable in ITR-2 and onwards.
