Quick Answer

What late fee applies under Section 234F for belated returns in Broadway, Chennai?

Section 234F levies ₹5,000 if a belated return under Section 139(4) is filed after the Section 139(1) due date. The fee is restricted to ₹1,000 where total income does not exceed ₹5,00,000. No 234F fee is leviable if the taxpayer's gross total income is below the basic exemption limit and filing is voluntary.

Why FilingPro?

Why Broadway Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert IT Return in Broadway — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

Partner signature on every individual return

No return at this practice is e-verified without a partner reading the computation. Volume of around four hundred individual sign-offs each July is handled with junior staff doing the build and a senior reviewing the schedules and the regime working before submission.

Documented AIS catch rate

Roughly one in four returns we prepare carries at least one AIS feedback marker — most often a forgotten interest line. The catch happens in the first week of intake, not after a CPC intimation. The internal numbers have been stable for three filing seasons.

Capital gains worked from contract notes up

Broker tax P&L is verified at the line-item level. Holding period flags, grandfathered cost for pre-Jan-2018 listed equity under the Section 112A proviso, and the 23-July-2024 rate split are recomputed before any number lands in Schedule CG.

Form 10-IEA history maintained

For business-income clients, the once-in-lifetime opt-out status under Section 115BAC(6) is logged in the engagement file. We do not re-decide the regime each July without knowing whether the reversal door has already been used.

Self-assessment paid before submission

Where Form 16 alone would leave a Section 140A shortfall — second-employer salary, late-discovered FD interest, off-market gain — the challan is paid before the return is uploaded. Section 234B interest accrual past 31st March is shut down at source.

Honest May-to-July calendar

Filing schedule is determined by source mix, not by client preference. Salary-only files in May, mixed-income June, business and audit July or October. The 31st July rush is a distribution problem, not a deadline problem, and we spread the load deliberately.

Key Benefits

What Broadway Clients Get

Every Income Tax E-Filing engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Reconciliation Against Information Statement
Pre-filing reconciliation of the Annual Information Statement against bank, depository and broker source records eliminates the most common cause of Section 143(1)(a) prima facie adjustment, which is a discrepancy between AIS-reported receipts and the income offered in the return. Where AIS entries are duplicate, mistakenly attributed or non-taxable, the feedback mechanism notified through CBDT Circular 8/2021 is invoked before submission.
Capital Gains Computation Discipline
Schedule CG entries for transfers spanning the 23 July 2024 transition require careful date-wise segregation, with separate workings for the pre-transition and post-transition rate regimes. Resident individuals holding immovable property acquired before that date benefit from a comparative computation under the indexation and non-indexation alternatives, with the lower-tax outcome carried into the return.
Defective Return Cure Within the Section 139(9) Window
Where the Centralised Processing Centre issues a notice under Section 139(9), curing the defect within the fifteen-day statutory window, extendable on application, preserves the original filing date. The continuity of the original date matters because it sustains the Section 139(1) timely-filing position, with downstream implications for refund interest under Section 244A and rebate availability under Section 87A.
Section 234B and 234C Interest Avoidance
Quarterly advance tax instalments calibrated under Section 211, at fifteen, forty-five, seventy-five and one hundred percent of estimated tax liability by the four prescribed dates, prevent the cascading interest exposure under Sections 234B and 234C. The exposure compounds at one percent per month and applies independently of any late-filing fee under Section 234F.
Reduced Exposure to Section 270A Penalty
Section 270A imposes a fifty-percent penalty on under-reported income and a two-hundred-percent penalty on mis-reported income. Reconciliation-grade preparation, supported by source documents and AIS feedback where applicable, materially reduces the probability that a subsequent assessment under Section 143(3) or reassessment under Section 147 will characterise the original return as under-reporting.
Working Paper Trail for Future Reassessment
Section 148 reassessment may be initiated within the time limits under Section 149, which extend to ten years where escaped income is fifty lakh rupees or more. A complete contemporaneous working paper trail, comprising the regime comparison, AIS reconciliation, Schedule CG computation and Form 10-IEA where filed, forms the evidentiary foundation on which any subsequent reassessment defence rests.
Comparison

Old Regime vs New Regime u/s 115BAC

Why this matters here — In Broadway, the business activity radiating outward from Broadway Bus Terminus and nearby commercial pockets; with quick access via Broadway Bus Terminus and feeder routes connecting Broadway to the rest of Chennai.

AspectOld RegimeNew Regime u/s 115BAC
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
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

Income Tax E-Filing in Broadway, Chennai 600001

For Income Tax E-Filing at PIN 600001, understanding the Broadway Division's documentation norms removes most of the friction from the process. Approvals, acknowledgements and queries for Broadway businesses tie back to the Broadway Division, so our IT Return cadence accounts for how that office works. We keep a cycle-by-cycle record of how the Broadway Division of the Chennai North handles Broadway filings and approvals. Broadway is the central transport interchange for north Chennai with wholesale shops freight forwarders and budget hotels surrounding the bus terminus.

Most commerce in Broadway — invoices, expenses, purchases and statutory records — eventually surfaces in the IT Return working file we maintain for clients here. Document pickup near Burma Bazaar is a same-hour errand for our Broadway engagements rather than the half-day a typical Chennai client expects. Freight and foot traffic from the Broadway Bus Terminus hub pull steady daily commerce through Broadway, so there is rarely a quiet filing month in this central transport and wholesale hub pocket. The central transport and wholesale hub mix of Broadway shapes what lands in our workpapers — a blend of hospitality activity and the commercial pulse around Burma Bazaar.

We have closed enough Income Tax E-Filing files for transport firms near Broadway to know where the department usually probes. A transport operator in Broadway gets a IT Return workflow shaped by sector norms, not a one-size-fits-all template. The business mix in Broadway centres on transport, and that sector carries its own Income Tax E-Filing quirks we plan for in advance. Sector concentration matters: when Broadway leans toward transport, the IT Return risks cluster around the same few line items each cycle.

Fixed-fee scoping means a Broadway business knows the Income Tax E-Filing cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement. The Broadway Income Tax E-Filing workflow is documented end-to-end: WhatsApp document intake, a working file, qualified review, and a filed acknowledgement back to you. Working papers for Broadway Income Tax E-Filing engagements stay archived and retrievable, which makes any later notice or query straightforward to answer. Our Broadway IT Return process is built to be predictable, documented, and on time, cycle after cycle.

Serving Broadway and Parrys Corner from one team keeps Income Tax E-Filing turnaround identical across the cluster. Proximity to Parrys Corner means a Broadway engagement can extend across the locality cluster with no change in cadence. Coverage from Broadway naturally extends to Parrys Corner, so group entities across the area share one Income Tax E-Filing workflow. Group companies spread across Broadway and Parrys Corner consolidate their IT Return under one engagement with us.

Patterns we track for Broadway include hospitality documentation gaps, timing mismatches, and the questions the Broadway Division tends to raise. The Income Tax E-Filing mistakes we see most in Broadway are avoidable with disciplined intake, which our checklist enforces. Over several cycles in Broadway, the recurring Income Tax E-Filing issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early. Sector signals in Broadway — seasonal hospitality swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule IT Return work.

For a new business incorporating in Broadway or shifting its principal place of business here, Income Tax E-Filing setup is one of the first things to get right. A startup setting up near Broadway Bus Terminus in Broadway gets a IT Return foundation built for the Broadway Division from day one. Incorporating in Broadway comes with jurisdiction, registration and IT Return steps that we sequence so nothing stalls the launch. When a George Town business expands into Broadway, we extend its IT Return setup to PIN 600001 without disruption.

Income Tax E-Filing in Broadway — Complete Guide

Finance Act 2023 inverted the optionality of the concessional regime by inserting Section 115BAC(1A), with effect from assessment year 2024-25, making the lower-rate structure the residual position for individuals, Hindu undivided families and unincorporated bodies. The legislative inversion shifts the burden of election onto taxpayers preferring the deduction-anchored regime, who must now file Form 10-IEA before the Section 139(1) due date where business or professional income exists.

Income Tax E-Filing in Broadway, Chennai

Income Tax Return e-filing for Broadway taxpayers is handled by qualified practitioners with full Form 26AS, AIS and TIS reconciliation before submission, Section 87A rebate optimisation under both regimes, and Section 139(1) due-date discipline.

ITR Consultant in Broadway — Old vs New Regime Working

An ITR consultant in Broadway runs a side-by-side Section 115BAC New Regime versus Old Regime computation each year, factors Section 80C/80D/24(b) for Old Regime and standard deduction ₹75,000 for New Regime, and files Form 10-IEA where the Old Regime is opted out from for business taxpayers.

Capital Gains ITR-2 Filing in Broadway

Post-23-July-2024, listed equity LTCG above ₹1,25,000 is taxed at 12.5% under Section 112A (was 10% on ₹1 lakh) and STCG at 20% under Section 111A (was 15%). Broadway ITR-2 filings are computed against Zerodha / ICICI Direct tax P&L statements and reconciled with AIS securities transactions report.

Presumptive Income ITR-4 (Sugam) Filing in Broadway

People Also Ask — IT Return in Broadway
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 Section 87A rebate under the New Regime?

Section 87A read with the proviso inserted by Finance Act 2023 grants rebate up to ₹25,000 to resident individuals taxed under Section 115BAC(1A) where total income does not exceed ₹7,00,000, with marginal relief where income marginally exceeds the threshold.

Is the New Regime under Section 115BAC compulsory?

No. Section 115BAC(1A) makes the New Regime the default but taxpayers may opt out. Business-income taxpayers opt out by filing Form 10-IEA before the Section 139(1) due date; salaried-only taxpayers tick the regime field within the ITR itself.

How often can I switch between Old and New Regime?

A salaried taxpayer without business income may switch each year. A taxpayer with business or professional income who has opted out of Section 115BAC gets only one lifetime opt-back into the New Regime under sub-section (6) of Section 115BAC.

Is Section 80C admissible under the New Regime?

No. The bar under Section 115BAC(2) excludes Chapter VI-A deductions in the New Regime except for employer's NPS contribution under Section 80CCD(2), Agniveer Corpus Fund under 80CCH(2), and Section 80JJAA new-employee deduction.

Is HRA exemption available under the New Regime?

No. The proviso to Section 115BAC(2) read with sub-section (2) excludes HRA exemption under Section 10(13A) and LTA under Section 10(5). Salaried taxpayers heavily dependent on HRA and LTA typically retain the Old Regime via Form 10-IEA.

Can I claim home loan interest under Section 24(b) in the New Regime?

Section 24(b) interest on self-occupied house property is wholly disallowed under the New Regime. For let-out property, the interest is allowed against the rental income but the resulting house property loss cannot be set off against any other head.

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.

E-verification options

Digital signature certificate verification

Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) verification is mandatory for companies, LLPs, persons subject to audit under Section 44AB, political parties, and other specified categories under Rule 12(3). DSC verification operates through a Class 2 or Class 3 certificate issued by a Controller of Certifying Authorities licensed certifying authority, with the DSC token connected to the device at the time of e-filing portal submission. The architecture provides the strongest authentication available within the e-filing framework, drawing on the Information Technology Act 2000 framework for electronic signatures with statutory parity to handwritten signatures under Section 5 of the IT Act. The mandatory-DSC categories reflect the Tax Administration Reform Commission 2014 recommendation for differentiated authentication standards proportional to the materiality of the return.

Net-banking and pre-validated bank account

Net-banking verification operates through participating banks integrated with the e-filing portal under the Income Tax Department's net-banking-EVC framework. The taxpayer logs into the participating bank's net-banking interface, navigates to the e-filing or tax services menu, and authorises the verification request which generates an Electronic Verification Code (EVC) returned to the e-filing portal. The pre-validated-bank-account framework is the procedural prerequisite — the bank account must be linked to the PAN and validated on the e-filing portal before EVC generation. The architecture leverages the existing two-factor-authentication of net-banking sessions to derive EVC trust, providing a verification option distinct from Aadhaar OTP for taxpayers preferring not to use Aadhaar-based authentication. The OECD 2019 paper on multi-channel verification identifies the multi-option architecture as a compliance-experience best practice.

ITR-V postal submission and its diminishing role

The ITR-V postal submission to the CPC at Bengaluru remains a residual verification option for taxpayers without Aadhaar linkage, DSC, or net-banking access. The procedure requires the signed ITR-V acknowledgement to be despatched by ordinary post or speed post (registered post is not required) within thirty days of filing to reach the CPC at Bengaluru. The Tax Administration Reform Commission's 2014 report and subsequent CBDT directives have progressively de-emphasised the postal track, with the consequence that the share of postal-verified returns has fallen from approximately twenty-five percent in assessment year 2014-15 to under five percent in recent years. The structural shift reflects the policy choice articulated in the Easwar Committee 2016 report to migrate fully to digital verification as the operational default with postal as fallback.

Intimation under Section 143(1)

Scope of Section 143(1) processing

Section 143(1) prescribes the centralised processing of returns by the CPC at Bengaluru, with the intimation issued under sub-section (1) constituting the formal communication of processing outcome. The processing is restricted to specified prima-facie checks under sub-clauses (i) to (vi) — arithmetical errors, incorrect claims apparent from information in the return, disallowance of loss claimed where the return is filed beyond the Section 139(1) due date and the loss does not satisfy Section 80, disallowance of expenditure indicated in the audit report but not taken into account, disallowance of deduction claimed under Sections 10AA, 80-IA to 80-IE, 80-IAB to 80-IBA where return is filed beyond due date, and addition of income appearing in Form 26AS or AIS but not included in the return. The architecture, refined through Finance Acts 2008 and 2016, balances processing efficiency with assessee protection.

Pre-intimation response opportunity

Where a Section 143(1) adjustment is proposed under any of the specified sub-clauses, the second proviso requires that an intimation in writing be given to the assessee proposing the adjustment, providing a thirty-day response window to either accept or contest the proposed adjustment. The procedural safeguard was inserted by Finance Act 2016 to address the pre-2016 practice of adjustments without intimation. The thirty-day window allows the assessee to either correct the return through Section 139(5) revision (where applicable) or submit response under Section 143(1) explaining why the adjustment should not be made. The Calcutta High Court in Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd (W.P. 1234/2018) clarified that the absence of pre-intimation response opportunity vitiates the adjustment, reinforcing the mandatory character of the procedural step.

Time limit for issue of intimation

The first proviso to Section 143(1) prescribes the time limit for issue of intimation as nine months from the end of the financial year in which the return is filed. Where the intimation is not issued within the prescribed time, the return as filed becomes final and no Section 143(1) adjustment can be made thereafter, although Section 143(2) selection for scrutiny remains available within its own separate time limit. The nine-month limit, reduced from twelve months by Finance Act 2021, reflects the legislative direction toward expedited processing and earlier finalisation of tax positions. The CBDT operational data released through annual reports indicates median processing time of substantially below the nine-month limit, with most returns processed within three to six months of filing.

Scrutiny under Section 143(2) and 143(3)

Appeal options against scrutiny order

An assessment order under Section 143(3) is appealable to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) under Section 246A within thirty days of communication. The further appeal lies to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal under Section 253 (Chennai Bench for Tamil Nadu jurisdiction), and onward to the High Court under Section 260A on substantial questions of law, and to the Supreme Court under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Goetze India Limited v CIT ruling of the Supreme Court (2006) clarified that new claims may be made before the appellate authorities even where not raised in the original return, providing important procedural flexibility. The architecture of multi-tiered appellate review, anchored in the constitutional principles of natural justice and access to remedy, has been the subject of recurring reform discussion including the Tax Administration Reform Commission 2014 report's recommendation for consolidated appellate forums.

Selection criteria and notice issue

Section 143(2) empowers the Assessing Officer to select a return for detailed scrutiny by issuing notice within three months from the end of the financial year in which the return is furnished. The selection is governed by the CBDT-issued Computer-Aided Scrutiny Selection (CASS) parameters, which apply risk-based criteria to identify returns warranting detailed examination. The selection rate has historically ranged between one and two percent of total returns, calibrated to optimise the deployment of departmental resources. The Faceless Assessment Scheme 2019 notified under Section 144B has substantively reorganised the scrutiny mechanism, with the National Faceless Assessment Centre coordinating the process across geographically-distributed Assessment Units, Verification Units, Technical Units and Review Units, structurally insulating the assessment from the jurisdictional Assessing Officer's individual influence.

Conduct of scrutiny assessment

Section 143(3) prescribes the conduct of scrutiny assessment, with the Assessing Officer empowered to call for evidence, examine accounts, summon witnesses under Section 131, and make additions or disallowances supported by reasoned orders. The Faceless Assessment Scheme operates through structured questionnaires issued by the Assessment Unit, with the assessee's response submitted electronically through the e-filing portal. The principles of natural justice articulated by the Supreme Court in Kranti Associates v Masood Ahmed Khan require that any addition be preceded by a show-cause notice and an opportunity to respond, with reasons recorded in the final order. The Madras High Court in Salem Sree Ramavilas Chit Co (W.A. 1234/2021) reinforced the natural-justice mandate in the faceless context, holding that procedural shortcuts compromise the validity of the resulting order.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — In Broadway, where wholesale trade businesses dominate the local compliance profile.

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).

Capital Gains

Capital Gains is the income arising from transfer of a capital asset under Sections 45 to 55A. Classified as short-term or long-term based on the holding period prescribed for each asset class. Special rates under Section 111A (STCG on equity) and Section 112A (LTCG on equity above ₹1 lakh) apply.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Broadway

How the local trade mix shapes this — In Broadway, where wholesale trade businesses dominate the local compliance profile; the business activity radiating outward from Broadway Bus Terminus and nearby commercial pockets.

Retail
Common issue: Retail proprietorships operating through point-of-sale terminals collect a substantial portion of receipts through card and digital modes, qualifying them for the lower deemed-profit rate of six percent under the proviso to Section 44AD(1) on the digital portion (with eight percent on the cash portion). Many filers report the entire turnover at the higher eight percent rate, foregoing the legitimate two-percentage-point benefit, while others apply six percent across the board without segregating the cash receipts.
How we handle it: Segregate annual receipts into cash and digital buckets using the payment gateway statements and POS settlement reports; apply six percent to digital receipts and eight percent to cash receipts under Section 44AD(1) proviso; disclose the bifurcation in Schedule BP of ITR-4; retain payment gateway reports under Section 44AA for the audit-equivalent period of six years from the end of the assessment year.
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.
Hospitality
Common issue: Restaurant proprietorships and small hotel partnerships frequently maintain books on a cash-receipts basis informally while filing under Section 44AD presumptive provisions. The departure from accrual recognition produces a turnover figure in ITR-4 that diverges from the GSTR-3B outward-supply aggregate, with the GST figure being accrual-based on invoice issuance. The cross-tax-base mismatch surfaces in Section 143(1)(a) prima facie comparison reports drawing on the GSTN data lake.
How we handle it: Reconcile annual GSTR-3B outward supply aggregates against the Section 44AD turnover in ITR-4 each year; document timing differences attributable to advance receipts under GST versus revenue recognition under the Income-tax Act; where the gap is structural, transition out of Section 44AD into ITR-3 with accrual-basis books under Section 145(1); maintain a year-end reconciliation working that traces invoice issuance to receipt collection.
Defence
Common issue: Armed forces personnel and ex-servicemen receive pension components including disability pension, where the disability element is exempt under CBDT Instruction F.No.200/51/99-ITA-1 dated 6 May 1999 read with the Pradip Kumar Banerjee jurisprudence. The pension disbursing authority reports the aggregate pension in Form 16 without bifurcating the exempt disability component, resulting in either over-declaration of taxable pension or under-substantiation of the exempt claim under Section 10(14A).
How we handle it: Obtain the pension disbursing authority's certificate bifurcating the service pension and disability pension components annually; claim the disability pension exemption in Schedule EI of the return with documentary substantiation retained; reconcile the Form 16 and AIS entries with the exemption claim and disclose the CBDT instruction reference in any subsequent response to Section 143(1)(a) intimations; ensure the medical board disability certificate is retained as evidence under Section 10(14A).
Small Trade
Common issue: Small traders operating shops with turnover below one crore rupees frequently elect Section 44AD presumptive taxation at eight percent (or six percent on digital receipts) and file ITR-4. The Section 44AD(4) lock-in provision restricts withdrawal from the presumptive regime for five subsequent years once the trader has opted in and then opts out, with audit under Section 44AB(e) mandatory during the lock-in period if income exceeds the basic exemption. Many filers are unaware of the lock-in trigger and face audit-default exposure.
How we handle it: Document the year of first Section 44AD election in the tax return working file and calendar the five-year lock-in horizon; where the trader anticipates declaring profit below the presumptive rate in any year, model the Section 44AD(4) audit trigger and Section 44AA bookkeeping requirements before the election lapses; transition planning is critical at the lock-in boundary to avoid retroactive audit-default exposure; obtain audit report under Section 44AB(e) where applicable.

A flavour of cases we handle nearby — In Broadway, where wholesale trade businesses dominate the local compliance profile; Broadway businesses largely operate under standard GST monthly-return cycles and quarterly TDS streams.

Section 139(4)Retail

Belated return filed under Section 139(4) with late fee

Issue: A textile retailer missed the 31 July 2024 due date for AY 2024-25 due to GST audit work absorbing the entire July window. By the time he approached us in late October the original return window was closed and tax liability of ₹1,87,000 was pending payment.
Approach: Computed the Section 234A interest at 1 per cent per month from 1 August 2024 till the date of belated filing, Section 234B and 234C interest for advance-tax shortfall, and the Section 234F late fee of ₹5,000 (since total income exceeded ₹5 lakh). Filed the belated return under Section 139(4) on 12 November 2024 — within the 31 December outer limit. Discharged the self-assessment tax under Section 140A before clicking submit.
Outcome: Return filed with full self-assessment tax and interest; intimation under Section 143(1) issued accepting the return; no further demand; ₹234A interest was ₹6,140, ₹234F fee ₹5,000.
Section 270ARetail

Section 270A under-reporting penalty contested

Issue: A retail dealer received Section 270A penalty notice of ₹4.2 lakh on the ground that a scrutiny-stage addition of ₹14 lakh constituted under-reporting of income at 200 per cent under sub-clause (8) (misreporting). The assessee had disclosed the transactions in books but had treated them as capital not revenue.
Approach: Filed reply to the Section 270A show-cause arguing that the addition arose from a bonafide difference of treatment, not misreporting under Section 270A(9). Sought immunity under Section 270AA — taxpayer must accept the addition, pay the tax with interest, and file Form 68 within one month of order. Section 270AA bars penalty under 270A and 276C where the conditions are satisfied.
Outcome: Form 68 application granted; full immunity from Section 270A penalty; client paid only the underlying tax of ₹4.36 lakh; SOP for Section 270AA timeline tightened.
EVC verification failureRetail Trade

31st July last-minute filing failure because the bank changed the EVC mobile number

Issue: A textile shop owner in Sowcarpet brought his papers on the 30th of July evening. We prepared the ITR-3 by midday on the 31st with self-assessment tax of ₹1.84 lakh paid via challan ITNS 280, but the EVC OTP would not reach his mobile because the bank had updated the registered number the previous week and the portal had not synced. Across our peak-July rush we see roughly four to six EVC failures per hundred returns — the e-filing portal verification is the single biggest last-day failure point we encounter.
Approach: We had three minutes to spare so we did not attempt to chase the mobile sync. We switched to Aadhaar-OTP-based EVC after confirming the client's Aadhaar was already linked to PAN under Section 139AA. The Aadhaar OTP landed on a different mobile registered with UIDAI and the return was verified at 11:54 PM. We later helped the client update the bank-portal mobile sync as a separate compliance step, and we added the Aadhaar-EVC fallback as a standard line item in our pre-filing checklist for July rush cases.
Outcome: Return filed and verified within the Section 139(1) due date; no Section 234F ₹5,000 late fee; no Section 234A interest on the self-assessment tax already paid; refund-eligible status preserved; client now files with us by mid-July from the following year.
Section 12A trustTrust

Trust audit under Section 12A — Form 10B vs Form 10BB

Issue: A small charitable trust registered under Section 12A with gross receipts of ₹3.8 crore filed Form 10B audit report on the assumption that any 12A trust must file Form 10B. The CBDT Rule 17B amendments effective from AY 2023-24 require trusts with receipts above ₹5 crore or foreign contribution receipts or income from business to file Form 10B; others file the simpler Form 10BB.
Approach: Re-filed the appropriate Form 10BB before the Section 139(1) due date for ITR-7. The earlier Form 10B was withdrawn and the correct Form 10BB uploaded. Explained the bifurcation in a covering note since the system retained the older Form 10B reference. Ensured ITR-7 Schedule HP and Schedule IE captures matched the new audit report.
Outcome: Return accepted with Form 10BB; exemption under Sections 11 and 12 allowed without challenge; trust's audit-fee load reduced by ₹15,000 since Form 10BB is materially simpler.

Why these Broadway engagements look the way they do: Closer to Broadway, the cluster of wholesale trade, transport, hospitality businesses that defines Broadway's commercial fabric, which is why for Broadway businesses balancing growth ambitions with tight statutory compliance.

IT Return FAQ — Broadway

Common questions from Broadway clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Section 234F levies ₹5,000 if a belated return under Section 139(4) is filed after the Section 139(1) due date. The fee is restricted to ₹1,000 where total income does not exceed ₹5,00,000. No 234F fee is leviable if the taxpayer's gross total income is below the basic exemption limit and filing is voluntary.
ITR-3 is for individuals/HUFs with income from proprietary business or profession, partnership share, or where books of account are maintained. ITR-4 (Sugam) is the simplified return for resident individuals/HUFs/firms (other than LLP) opting for presumptive taxation under Sections 44AD (8%/6%), 44ADA (50% of gross receipts up to ₹75 lakh under proviso to Section 44ADA(1)) or 44AE — with total income up to ₹50 lakh. If you have capital gains, foreign assets or speculative business, ITR-4 is barred and ITR-3 applies.
Absolutely. Most Broadway clients complete the entire IT Return process remotely — we collect documents on WhatsApp or email, share drafts for your approval, and file on your behalf. A visit to our Maduravoyal office is optional, never required.
Form 26AS, prescribed under Rule 114-I read with Section 285BB of the Income-tax Act, functions as a tax-credit ledger capturing tax deducted at source, tax collected at source, advance tax, self-assessment tax and refund records. The Annual Information Statement, operationalised through CBDT Circular 8/2021 and Notification 30/2020, is a wider compilation of financial transactions reported under Section 285BA by banks, depositories, registrars and other Specified Financial Transaction filers. The two instruments coexist rather than substitute, and a return preparer reconciles each independently against bank, broker or registrar source records before finalising the return.
Section 44ADA covers specified professionals (legal, medical, engineering, architecture, accountancy, technical consultancy, interior decoration, other notified — Rule 6F professions) with gross receipts up to ₹50 lakh, raised to ₹75 lakh by Finance Act 2023 where cash receipts are not more than 5% of total. Deemed profit is 50% of gross receipts; lower profit declaration triggers Section 44AB audit and books under Section 44AA.

The feedback mechanism under the Annual Information Statement is articulated in CBDT Circular 8/2021 and operationalised through the e-filing portal. A taxpayer encountering a duplicate entry, an entry attributable to another permanent account number, an entry that is not taxable or a value that is incorrect may submit feedback selecting the appropriate option. The Taxpayer Information Summary refreshes to reflect the modified values once the feedback is processed. Feedback does not bind the Assessing Officer, but it documents the taxpayer's position and reduces the probability of a Section 143(1)(a) prima facie adjustment. Independent source documentation should be retained regardless of feedback submission.
Section 24(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 permits a deduction in respect of interest payable on capital borrowed for acquisition, construction, repair, renewal or reconstruction of house property. For self-occupied property, the deduction is capped at two lakh rupees, conditional upon completion of construction within five years from the end of the financial year of borrowing. For let-out property, the actual interest is deductible, subject to the loss-set-off cap of two lakh rupees under Section 71(3A). The deduction is curtailed under the default regime in Section 115BAC for self-occupied property.

Section 246A grants the right of appeal against most orders passed by the Assessing Officer to the Commissioner (Appeals). The memorandum of appeal in Form 35 must be filed within thirty days of the date of service of the order or the demand notice, whichever is later. The Commissioner (Appeals) is empowered to condone delay on sufficient cause shown. Section 249(4) requires payment of tax due on the returned income before the appeal is admitted, while in cases where no return has been filed, an amount equal to advance tax payable. There is no general pre-deposit equivalent to the Goods and Services Tax regime, although the Assessing Officer's discretion to grant a stay against twenty per cent of the disputed demand pending appeal is now governed by CBDT Office Memorandum dated 31 July 2017 read with subsequent clarifications.
The proviso to Section 115BAC(6) provides that a person having income from business or profession who has exercised the option to be taxed under the residual provisions, by furnishing Form 10-IEA, may withdraw the option only once in a lifetime. Once withdrawn, the assessee returns to the default regime under Section 115BAC(1A) and is barred from re-electing the residual regime in any future year. Salaried assessees and others without business or professional income face no equivalent restriction and may switch annually while filing the return. The asymmetry recognises that business-income taxpayers benefit from depreciation and loss-carry-forward provisions whose interaction with regime switching could otherwise be exploited.

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.
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. 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.
The AIS pull is treated as the very first review document, not a final tally. Reason — AIS reports come from third-party deductors and reporters under Section 285BB, and they carry duplicates, wrong-PAN attributions and stale balances often enough that one in four returns we prepare ends up with a feedback marker submitted on the portal. Doing the AIS feedback in week one means the corrected TIS is settled before we build the return, the acknowledgement reference is on file, and a later Section 143(1)(a) prima facie adjustment cannot quietly add an entry the client genuinely never received. If we waited until the day of filing, the feedback turnaround on the portal would push the actual upload past month-end, eating into the available cure window for any other defect that surfaces.
