ITR-1 has been amended for AY 2024-25 onwards to capture the New Regime opt-out via Form 10-IEA reporting.

Expert IT Return in Korattur — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.
The Tribunal has held in numerous benches that a Section 143(1)(a) adjustment cannot be made without prior intimation and opportunity. Where this safeguard is bypassed, the order is challenged on the ground of procedural infirmity rather than merits alone.
Where Section 144B procedural safeguards are breached or a faceless order is passed without the mandated draft assessment opportunity, a writ petition before the Madras High Court is mapped as a parallel track to the statutory appeal.
The Supreme Court in Goetze (India) Ltd v CIT held that fresh claims not made in the return cannot be entertained by the AO except through a revised return. We therefore ensure every legitimate deduction is captured at filing rather than left for assessment-stage assertion.
The Tribunal in ACIT v Saurashtra Kutch Stock Exchange Ltd recognised that a binding decision rendered after the filing date constitutes a mistake apparent on record for Section 254(2) purposes. We use the principle to reopen Section 154 rectifications where supervening law assists the Korattur assessee.
For legacy disputes pending in appeal, the Direct Tax Vivad se Vishwas computation is run alongside the merits view, so the assessee selects between settlement and continuation on a fully informed basis rather than impulsively.
Where a Section 143(3) addition is accepted on commercial grounds, immunity from Section 270A penalty is sought under Section 270AA by paying the tax and interest within the appeal period and refraining from further appeal. The route is preserved by clean filing.
Every Income Tax E-Filing engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Statutory hooks that bite here — In Korattur, Korattur businesses in the residential arm find that professional services from this area mostly fall under Section 194J 194C TDS on freelancers and personal-IT filings under ITR-1 to ITR-3; with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations.
Sub-section (1) of Section 139 of the Income-tax Act 1961 obliges every company and firm, and every other person whose total income before the deductions claimable under Chapter VI-A exceeds the basic exemption limit, to furnish a return of income for the previous year on or before the due date prescribed in Explanation 2. It is to be noted that the obligation under sub-section (1) is unconditional for companies and firms regardless of whether the total income is positive or nil. The seventh proviso further extends the obligation to persons satisfying notified expenditure or deposit triggers.
View sourceSub-section (4) of Section 139 provides that a person who has not furnished a return within the time allowed under sub-section (1) may furnish a belated return at any time before the thirty-first day of December of the assessment year, or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. It is to be noted that belated returns attract Section 234A interest from the original due date and a Section 234F fee. Carry-forward of business and capital losses under Chapter VI is denied for belated returns, save unabsorbed depreciation under Section 32(2).
View sourceSub-section (5) of Section 139 permits any person who has furnished a return under sub-section (1) or sub-section (4) to file a revised return on discovering any omission or wrong statement therein. The revised return may be furnished at any time before the thirty-first day of December of the assessment year or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. Sub-section (5) does not impose a numerical cap on the number of revisions; each successive revision supersedes the immediately preceding return.
View sourceSub-section (8A) of Section 139, inserted by the Finance Act 2022, permits any person, whether or not they have furnished an earlier return for the relevant assessment year, to furnish an updated return at any time within twenty-four months from the end of the relevant assessment year. The updated return must be accompanied by proof of payment of the additional tax computed under Section 140B — twenty-five percent or fifty percent of the aggregate of tax and interest, depending on whether the updated return is filed within or beyond twelve months of the end of the assessment year.
View sourceSub-rule (1) of Rule 12 of the Income-tax Rules 1962 prescribes the forms applicable to each class of assessee — ITR-1 (SAHAJ) for resident individuals with income up to ₹50 lakh from salary, one house property and other sources; ITR-2 for individuals and HUFs not having business or profession income; ITR-3 for individuals and HUFs having business or profession income; ITR-4 (SUGAM) for presumptive cases under Sections 44AD, 44ADA or 44AE; ITR-5 for firms and LLPs; ITR-6 for companies other than those claiming Section 11; ITR-7 for trusts and political parties. Sub-rule (3) prescribes electronic mode as the default.
View sourceSub-section (1) of Section 143 prescribes the summary processing framework. The total income is computed after making prima-facie adjustments — arithmetical errors, incorrect claims apparent from any information in the return, disallowance of loss claimed where the return is belated, disallowance of expenditure indicated in the audit report but not taken in computation, and addition of income appearing in Form 26AS or AIS but not in the return. The intimation under sub-section (1) is to be served before the expiry of nine months from the end of the financial year in which the return was furnished.
View sourceWhich of these bite hardest in Korattur: Where Korattur differs: with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations. We see supporting the working population of Korattur and the immediate adjoining neighbourhoods.
Korattur sits adjacent to the Ambattur Industrial belt with Lucas-TVS and several engineering units, alongside dense residential pockets. GST filings here often involve B2B engineering supplies, e-way bills and RCM on transport. The 600xx geo-zone covering Korattur groups several locality clusters under common administration, keeping documentation expectations predictable. Every Korattur engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600080, the Ambattur Division, and the coordinates 13.1014, 80.1947 that anchor the locality. Korattur (PIN 600080) falls under the Ambattur Division of the Chennai North, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN.
Korattur reads as a industrial residential mixed pocket with high commercial activity, anchored around Korattur Industrial Estate and fed by the Korattur Suburban Railway corridor. Working in Korattur brings a logistical edge: proximity to Korattur Industrial Estate and the Korattur Suburban Railway corridor keeps physical document handling fast. The industrial residential mixed mix of Korattur shapes what lands in our workpapers — a blend of retail activity and the commercial pulse around Korattur Industrial Estate. Each Income Tax E-Filing cycle for Korattur reflects its commercial rhythm — invoices generated near Korattur Industrial Estate, expenses routed through the Korattur Suburban Railway freight network.
industrial units around Korattur share recurring IT Return patterns — input-credit timing, vendor reconciliation, and sector-specific documentation. The industrial firms we serve in Korattur value a IT Return partner who already understands their sector's compliance rhythm. Income Tax E-Filing for industrial businesses in Korattur hinges on getting the sector's recurring entries right the first time. Because Korattur hosts a cluster of industrial businesses, we benchmark each new Income Tax E-Filing engagement against patterns we already track for the locality.
We keep a repeatable IT Return checklist for Korattur so nothing in the cycle is improvised or missed. From the first Income Tax E-Filing cycle, a Korattur engagement is set up to be audit-ready rather than reconstructed under pressure later. Every IT Return file we open for Korattur is reconciled, reviewed by a qualified practitioner, and archived for seven years. Turnaround for Korattur Income Tax E-Filing is deterministic — fixed fee, a scoped timeline, and a same-business-day acknowledgement once filed.
Businesses straddling Korattur and Tirumullaivoyal get a single IT Return point of contact rather than two. From the same Korattur team we also serve Tirumullaivoyal and other nearby localities without re-onboarding clients. Income Tax E-Filing clients in Tirumullaivoyal are handled by the same practitioners who run our Korattur desk. We treat Korattur and Tirumullaivoyal as one catchment for Income Tax E-Filing, which keeps documentation and turnaround consistent.
Common patterns in the Ambattur Division give Korattur businesses an early-warning map we use to pre-empt IT Return issues. Patterns we track for Korattur include retail documentation gaps, timing mismatches, and the questions the Ambattur Division tends to raise. Each engagement in Korattur adds to a record of what the Chennai North jurisdiction expects, sharpening the next IT Return file. Sector signals in Korattur — seasonal retail swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule IT Return work.
When a Padi business expands into Korattur, we extend its IT Return setup to PIN 600080 without disruption. New industrial ventures in Korattur lean on us to stand up Income Tax E-Filing correctly before the first deadline rather than after a notice. We onboard new Korattur entities onto a Income Tax E-Filing cadence that is audit-ready from the very first cycle. For a new business incorporating in Korattur or shifting its principal place of business here, Income Tax E-Filing setup is one of the first things to get right.
Income Tax Return e-filing for Korattur 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.
An ITR consultant in Korattur 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.
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%). Korattur ITR-2 filings are computed against Zerodha / ICICI Direct tax P&L statements and reconciled with AIS securities transactions report.
For Korattur traders and professionals — Section 44AD turnover up to ₹3 crore (where digital receipts ≥ 95%) at 8%/6% deemed profit, Section 44ADA gross receipts up to ₹75 lakh at 50% deemed profit, and Section 44AE for transport. ITR-4 filed with GST turnover cross-tied to declared receipts.
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.
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.
No. Section 80C requires the investment to be made during the previous year. Date of credit to the eligible instrument (PPF, NSC, ELSS unit allotment) is the operative date, not the date of cheque issue or NEFT initiation by the taxpayer.
Yes. A resident and ordinarily resident must disclose all foreign assets, foreign income and signing authority in Schedule FA of ITR-2 or ITR-3. Non-disclosure attracts Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) Act consequences including 300 per cent penalty.
File Form 67 before furnishing the return under Section 90 read with the relevant DTAA article and Rule 128. Madras HC and ITAT have held Rule 128(9) timing to be directory; delayed Form 67 may still be considered through rectification.
Section 89 relief re-allocates salary arrears or advances to the years to which they relate, applying the slab rates of those years to avoid bunching-in-one-year disadvantage. Form 10E must be filed on the e-portal before furnishing the return under Rule 21A.
What Korattur clients want to know before signing: Where Korattur differs: on the Ambattur-Padi corridor that passes through Korattur. We see with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations.
Localised for Korattur, Chennai — with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations.
Reading this guide locally — In Korattur, in the industrial-residential mixed micro-market of Korattur; Korattur businesses in the residential arm find that professional services from this area mostly fall under Section 194J 194C TDS on freelancers and personal-IT filings under ITR-1 to ITR-3.
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.
Beyond the income-threshold trigger, Section 139(1) prescribes a list of persons for whom filing is mandatory regardless of income. Companies and firms (including LLPs) must file under clause (a) irrespective of profit or loss. Trusts holding registration under Section 12A or 12AB must file under Section 139(4A) where total income before exemption under Section 11 exceeds the basic exemption. Political parties and electoral trusts file under Sections 139(4B) and 139(4C) respectively. The seventh proviso to Section 139(1), inserted by Finance (No. 2) Act 2019, added the high-value-transaction triggers noted above. Finance Act 2022 further extended mandatory filing under Rule 12AB to persons with total sales, turnover or gross receipts exceeding sixty lakh rupees in business or ten lakh rupees in profession, and to persons whose aggregate TDS or TCS during the previous year is twenty-five thousand rupees (or fifty thousand for senior citizens). The architecture progressively widens the filing base, consistent with the Empowered Committee's 2009 first discussion paper articulation of compliance breadth as a precondition for revenue depth.
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.
An adverse Section 143(1) intimation may be challenged through three procedural routes. The first is rectification under Section 154, available where the adjustment is a mistake apparent from the record. The application is filed online through the e-filing portal and processed by the CPC. The second is appeal under Section 246A before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) within thirty days of receipt of the intimation, where the adjustment is challenged on substantive grounds. The third is revision under Section 264 before the Principal Commissioner within one year of communication of the intimation, available where the assessee seeks revision in own favour. The choice of remedy depends on the nature of the dispute — Section 154 for apparent mistakes, Section 246A for substantive disagreements, and Section 264 for own-revision requests. The architecture provides layered procedural protection consistent with the rule-of-law principles articulated in Kranti Associates v Masood Ahmed Khan.
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.
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.
Section 153 prescribes the time limit for completion of assessment under Section 143(3) — twelve months from the end of the assessment year for assessment years 2021-22 onwards, reduced from eighteen months earlier and from twenty-one months before that. The Faceless Assessment Scheme has further compressed the operational timelines through structured workflow management. Where the time limit lapses without completion, the return as filed becomes final under Section 153(2A), subject to the residual reassessment power under Section 147. The compression of the assessment-completion timeline reflects the Tax Administration Reform Commission 2014 recommendation for expedited assessment cycles as a precondition for genuine taxpayer certainty, and the OECD 2017 paper on tax-administration timelines identifies similar compression trends across comparator jurisdictions.
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.
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.
The time limits for reopening were restructured by Finance Act 2021 under Section 149. The general time limit is three years from the end of the relevant assessment year. The extended time limit of ten years applies where the AO has in his possession books of account, documents or evidence revealing that income chargeable to tax represented in the form of asset has escaped assessment exceeding fifty lakh rupees. The Section 149(1)(b) extended limit is the principal high-stakes-reopening framework. The compression of the general time limit from six years to three years was a deliberate legislative choice to enhance taxpayer certainty, with the trade-off of preserving the longer ten-year window for high-value escape cases. The Supreme Court in Ashish Agarwal v Union of India (2022) addressed the transitional questions arising from the pre-amendment and post-amendment regimes, providing structured guidance for proceedings issued under either framework.
Section 148A operationalises the procedural safeguards through four sub-clauses. Sub-clause (a) requires the AO to conduct enquiry, if any, with regard to the information available suggesting that income chargeable has escaped assessment. Sub-clause (b) requires the AO to provide an opportunity of being heard to the assessee, serving a show-cause notice with a response period of not less than seven days and not more than thirty days. Sub-clause (c) requires the AO to consider the assessee's reply, if any. Sub-clause (d) requires the AO to decide on the basis of material available whether it is a fit case for issue of notice under Section 148, by passing an order. The structured procedure embodies the natural-justice principles articulated in Pradeep Kumar Banerjee and reinforced by the Madras High Court in multiple recent rulings on Section 148A operation.
Section 148, post the Finance Act 2021 restructuring, may be issued where the AO has information suggesting that income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment, with information defined inclusively in Explanation 1 to include information from the AIS, transactions flagged by the Risk Management Strategy, audit objections, information received under treaty agreements, and information from regulatory authorities. The expansion of the information-trigger definition reflects the legislative direction toward an information-driven reassessment framework, moving beyond the earlier reasons-to-believe standard that was the subject of substantial litigation. The architecture is calibrated to the OECD 2019 paper on data-driven compliance, which identifies the information-trigger model as the operational best practice across comparator jurisdictions. The Section 148 notice itself remains the operative procedural step initiating the reassessment.
What Korattur clients usually ask next: Where Korattur differs: supporting the working population of Korattur and the immediate adjoining neighbourhoods. We see with most filings in this catchment being personal income-tax returns under ITR-1 to ITR-3 and one-off TDS reconciliations; for Korattur units balancing production cycles with monthly GST and quarterly TDS compliance.

Section 115BAC is the alternative concessional tax regime which became the default with effect from AY 2024-25, offering lower slab rates but disallowing most Chapter VI-A deductions except 80CCD(2) employer NPS and 80JJAA. A salaried taxpayer can switch between old and new every year, but a taxpayer with business or professional income gets only one lifetime opt-out from new regime through Form 10-IEA under Section 115BAC(6).
Form 10-IEA is the prescribed option-exercise form under Rule 21AGA for a person having business or professional income to opt out of the Section 115BAC default new regime. It must be filed on or before the due date under Section 139(1). The one-time-switch-out is a permanent door — once withdrawn for a business-income year, the door to old regime shuts unless business ceases.
Section 87A rebate is the tax rebate available to a resident individual whose total income does not exceed the prescribed threshold — currently ₹5 lakh under old regime and ₹7 lakh under new regime. The rebate is computed against tax on normal slab income only, not against tax on income chargeable at special rates such as Section 112A LTCG or Section 111A STCG.
Section 234F levies a fee of ₹5,000 for filing the return after the due date under Section 139(1), reduced to ₹1,000 where total income does not exceed ₹5 lakh. The fee is automatic and non-condonable; it applies even where there is no tax payable and even where the return shows a refund. The fee is collected through the self-assessment tax challan.
Section 234A levies simple interest at one per cent per month or part thereof on tax payable but not paid by the due date of filing under Section 139(1), running from the day after the due date until the date of filing. The interest applies on the net cash liability after credit of TDS, TCS, advance tax and self-assessment tax paid before the due date.
EVC is the 10-character alphanumeric code used to verify an e-filed return without physical signing or sending ITR-V to CPC Bengaluru. EVC can be generated through Aadhaar OTP under Section 139AA, net banking, bank account number pre-validation, demat account or bank ATM. The return is treated as filed only after verification — verification is the cut-off, not upload.
Section 139(8A) read with Rule 12AC permits a taxpayer to file an updated return within twenty-four months from the end of the assessment year, voluntarily disclosing income missed earlier. The updated return must be accompanied by additional tax under Section 140B of 25% if filed within 12 months and 50% if filed in the second 12-month window, computed on tax-plus-interest.
Section 139(5) permits a taxpayer to file a revised return any time before three months prior to the end of the relevant assessment year or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. The revised return replaces the original entirely and carries its own acknowledgement; the original is treated as withdrawn. Section 139(5) is the only correction route within the assessment year cycle.
Section 143(1)(a) is the centralised processing intimation issued by CPC Bengaluru after preliminary checking of an e-filed return. The intimation can make six categories of adjustments — arithmetic error, incorrect claim apparent from information in the return, disallowance of loss, disallowance of deduction, addition of income appearing in 26AS or AIS not in the return, and disallowance of expense relating to exempt income.
Section 245 empowers the Assessing Officer or CPC to set off a refund due to a taxpayer against any outstanding demand of any earlier year, subject to giving the taxpayer a thirty-day intimation to respond. Stale or incorrect demands can therefore reach forward and reduce current-year refunds; the response window is the only opportunity to dispute the set-off before it becomes final.
Section 154 permits the Assessing Officer or CPC to rectify any mistake apparent from the record in an order or intimation, either suo motu or on application by the assessee. The rectification request must be filed within four years from the end of the financial year in which the order sought to be amended was passed. It is the standard remedy for CPC processing errors.
Form 26AS is the consolidated annual tax credit statement showing TDS, TCS, advance tax, self-assessment tax, and high-value transactions reported to the income tax department for a permanent account number. Since the introduction of AIS under Section 285BB, Form 26AS has been progressively pared down to TDS and TCS only, with the wider reporter feed migrating into AIS and TIS.

Why these Korattur engagements look the way they do: Where Korattur differs: the cluster of industrial, residential, engineering businesses that defines Korattur's commercial fabric. We see for Korattur units balancing production cycles with monthly GST and quarterly TDS compliance.
“Multiple Form 16s from two employers, capital gains from Zerodha, savings interest split across four banks — FilingPro consolidated everything, reconciled with AIS, picked the Old Regime after a side-by-side working that saved ₹38,000 in tax versus the default New Regime. ITR-2 filed by 22 July, refund of ₹47,200 credited within 18 days.”
“Received an AIS showing ₹6.4 lakh of mutual fund redemption I had not done. FilingPro filed AIS feedback marking the entries as 'Information relates to another PAN', got the TIS updated and filed a clean ITR-2. 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
