Section 143(1) is the prima facie processing intimation issued by CPC, Bengaluru. The intimation must be issued within 9 months from the end of the financial year in which the return is furnished. It computes income after arithmetic correction, disallowance of incorrect claims, mismatch with Form 26AS/AIS and adjustment of brought-forward losses. A Section 154 rectification application or Section 246A appeal lies against an adverse 143(1).

Expert IT Return in Nerkundram — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.
Working papers carry citations to the section, the rule, the relevant Notification or Circular and, where useful, the supporting decision of the Tribunal or High Court. The Nerkundram assessee gains a textbook-grade record of the year.
The return file is built to the standard required at the appellate forum, not the bare minimum demanded by the portal. Should the Nerkundram assessee receive a Section 143(2) notice, the working papers stand without supplementation.
The thirty-day appeal limitation under Section 246A is treated as a hard date from receipt of any adverse order. Memorandum of appeal in Form 35 is drafted within fifteen working days, with grounds tied to the contemporaneous filing 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.
Every Income Tax E-Filing engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
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.

Records we prepare for Nerkundram carry the geo-zone 600xx tag and coordinates 13.0596, 80.1855, which map each submission back to this locality. Approvals, acknowledgements and queries for Nerkundram businesses tie back to the Poonamallee Division, so our IT Return cadence accounts for how that office works. Nerkundram (PIN 600107) falls under the Poonamallee Division of the Chennai West, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN. We keep a cycle-by-cycle record of how the Poonamallee Division of the Chennai West handles Nerkundram filings and approvals.
Vendors and customers tied to the Nerkundram Bus Stop network show up across the invoice trail we reconcile for Nerkundram Income Tax E-Filing clients. The residential with growing retail mix of Nerkundram shapes what lands in our workpapers — a blend of small industries activity and the commercial pulse around Nerkundram Bus Stop. Freight and foot traffic from the Nerkundram Bus Stop hub pull steady daily commerce through Nerkundram, so there is rarely a quiet filing month in this residential with growing retail pocket. Nerkundram reads as a residential with growing retail pocket with medium commercial activity, anchored around Nerkundram Bus Stop and fed by the Nerkundram Bus Stop corridor.
The business mix in Nerkundram centres on retail, and that sector carries its own Income Tax E-Filing quirks we plan for in advance. The retail character of Nerkundram commerce influences everything from invoice formats to the supporting documents a Income Tax E-Filing review needs. We have closed enough Income Tax E-Filing files for retail firms near Nerkundram to know where the department usually probes. Sector concentration matters: when Nerkundram leans toward retail, the IT Return risks cluster around the same few line items each cycle.
Fixed-fee scoping means a Nerkundram business knows the Income Tax E-Filing cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement. We keep a repeatable IT Return checklist for Nerkundram so nothing in the cycle is improvised or missed. Turnaround for Nerkundram Income Tax E-Filing is deterministic — fixed fee, a scoped timeline, and a same-business-day acknowledgement once filed. From the first Income Tax E-Filing cycle, a Nerkundram engagement is set up to be audit-ready rather than reconstructed under pressure later.
From the same Nerkundram team we also serve Vanagram and other nearby localities without re-onboarding clients. Income Tax E-Filing clients in Vanagram are handled by the same practitioners who run our Nerkundram desk. Serving Nerkundram and Vanagram from one team keeps Income Tax E-Filing turnaround identical across the cluster. Coverage from Nerkundram naturally extends to Vanagram, so group entities across the area share one Income Tax E-Filing workflow.
Sector signals in Nerkundram — seasonal small industries swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule IT Return work. The longer we serve Nerkundram, the more precisely we predict where a IT Return file needs attention. Over several cycles in Nerkundram, the recurring Income Tax E-Filing issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early. Because we work repeatedly across Nerkundram, we can benchmark a new client's Income Tax E-Filing position against the locality norm.
For a new business incorporating in Nerkundram or shifting its principal place of business here, Income Tax E-Filing setup is one of the first things to get right. Incorporating in Nerkundram comes with jurisdiction, registration and IT Return steps that we sequence so nothing stalls the launch. Shifting principal place of business to Nerkundram means updating jurisdiction to the Chennai West, and we manage the paperwork end-to-end. Relocating a registered office into Nerkundram (PIN 600107) changes the assessing division, and we handle that Income Tax E-Filing transition cleanly.
Income Tax Return e-filing for Nerkundram 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 Nerkundram 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%). Nerkundram ITR-2 filings are computed against Zerodha / ICICI Direct tax P&L statements and reconciled with AIS securities transactions report.
For Nerkundram 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.
Appeal under Section 253 before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal in Form 36 within 60 days of receipt of the CIT(A) order. For Chennai-jurisdiction assessees the bench is ITAT Chennai. The fee depends on the tax effect in dispute.
Article 226 writ before the Madras HC is available where the order is jurisdictionally defective, made in breach of natural justice, or in violation of statutory procedure. The HC will not entertain writs where an effective statutory remedy under Sections 246A or 253 is available.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Reading this guide locally — In Nerkundram, in the dense west-Chennai pocket of Nerkundram off the Maduravoyal bypass.
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.
Under Section 115BAC(6), the election to opt out into the old regime by a taxpayer with business or professional income is a one-time-lifetime decision, with subsequent reversal back into the new regime barring further opt-out for the remainder of the taxpayer's filing life (subject to the cessation of business income, which permits resumption of the choice). Taxpayers without business or professional income retain year-by-year flexibility — the election is made simply in the return itself without Form 10-IEA. The procedural distinction reflects the legislative concern that business-income taxpayers operate within a planning horizon that makes regime-switching strategically exploitable, while salary-and-other-income taxpayers operate within a narrower planning scope where year-by-year choice does not raise comparable concerns. The constraint architecture mirrors the comparable election architecture in Sections 115BAA and 115BAB for corporate taxpayers.
Section 115BAC was introduced by Finance Act 2020 as an optional concessional rate regime for individuals and Hindu undivided families, with the default position remaining the old regime requiring affirmative election to opt in. Finance Act 2023 inverted this default by inserting Section 115BAC(1A) with effect from assessment year 2024-25, making the lower-rate regime the residual position and requiring affirmative election to opt out in favour of the old regime. The inversion shifts the procedural burden — taxpayers preferring the deduction-anchored old regime must now file Form 10-IEA before the Section 139(1) due date where business or professional income exists, with one-time-lifetime constraints on subsequent reversals under Section 115BAC(6). The structural shift represents the most significant reorientation of individual taxation since the introduction of the Income-tax Act 1961, comparable in magnitude to the GST transition of 2017.
The new regime rate structure under Section 115BAC(1A), as substituted by Finance Act 2023, applies a basic exemption of three lakh rupees, followed by five percent on income between three and six lakh rupees, ten percent between six and nine lakh rupees, fifteen percent between nine and twelve lakh rupees, twenty percent between twelve and fifteen lakh rupees, and thirty percent above fifteen lakh rupees. The Section 87A rebate under the new regime is twenty-five thousand rupees for total income up to seven lakh rupees, with marginal relief preserving the rebate effect beyond seven lakh under the proviso added by Finance Act 2023. The Section 16(ia) standard deduction of fifty thousand rupees is available under both regimes (raised to seventy-five thousand for the new regime alone by Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 for assessment year 2025-26 onwards), and the Section 24(b) interest on let-out house property remains deductible.
Section 24(b) operates outside Chapter VI-A but constitutes the principal deduction available against income from house property. The interest on a loan borrowed for acquisition, construction, repair, renewal or reconstruction of property is fully deductible against let-out property income. For self-occupied property under Section 23(2), the interest deduction is capped at two lakh rupees per annum under the second proviso to Section 24(b), subject to the construction-completion condition within five years from the end of the financial year of borrowing. Pre-construction-period interest is deductible in five equal annual instalments commencing from the year of completion. Section 80EE and Section 80EEA additional deductions on first-time-buyer interest are available subject to specific eligibility conditions. The Section 24(b) deduction on let-out property is preserved under the new regime, while the self-occupied-property cap is forgone under Section 115BAC.
Section 80E provides a deduction for interest on education loans taken for higher education of self, spouse, children or a student for whom the taxpayer is legal guardian, with no upper limit, available for eight assessment years from the year of commencement of payment. Section 80G provides deductions for donations to specified funds and charitable institutions at fifty or one hundred percent of the donated amount, subject to qualifying-amount ceilings under Section 80G(4) where applicable, and the donation-by-cash limit of two thousand rupees under the proviso to Section 80G(5D). Section 80GG provides rent deduction for taxpayers without HRA. Section 80U provides a fixed deduction for taxpayers with disability. The architecture is uniformly forgone under the new regime, illustrating the legislative trade-off between rate concessions and deduction-base breadth that has anchored direct-tax reform discussion since the Choksi Committee 1978 onwards.
Section 80C provides a consolidated deduction of one lakh fifty thousand rupees aggregating across the specified investments and payments — life insurance premia on self, spouse and children policies subject to the Section 80C(3)/(3A) sum-assured-multiple cap, contributions to recognised provident fund and public provident fund, principal repayment on housing loans under Section 80C(2)(xviii), tuition fees for two children under Section 80C(2)(xvii), five-year tax-saving fixed deposits, and Sukanya Samriddhi Account deposits among others. Section 80CCC on pension funds and Section 80CCD(1) on National Pension System contributions share the same one-lakh-fifty-thousand ceiling under Section 80CCE. Section 80CCD(1B) provides an additional fifty-thousand-rupee deduction on NPS contributions independent of the Section 80CCE ceiling. The architecture is exclusive to the old regime and is forgone on election of the new regime under Section 115BAC.
Section 234B levies simple interest at one percent per month on the assessed tax minus advance tax paid, applicable where the advance tax paid is less than ninety percent of the assessed tax. The interest accrues from 1 April of the assessment year to the date of determination of income under Section 143(1) or regular assessment. The threshold of ninety percent is the design tolerance for estimation imprecision in the Section 211 instalment computation, reflecting the recognition that advance-tax estimation is necessarily imperfect for variable-income taxpayers. The architecture works in tandem with Section 234C which penalises instalment-level shortfalls within the year, with Section 234B catching the year-end aggregate shortfall and Section 234C catching the within-year timing failures. The combined operation incentivises both accurate annual estimation and accurate instalment-level distribution of payment.
Section 234C levies simple interest at one percent per month on the shortfall in each Section 211 advance-tax instalment. The instalments are due on 15 June (fifteen percent of estimated tax), 15 September (forty-five percent cumulative), 15 December (seventy-five percent cumulative) and 15 March (one hundred percent cumulative) for taxpayers other than those covered by Section 44AD or 44ADA presumptive schemes, who pay the entire amount by 15 March. The interest accrues for three months on the shortfall in the first three instalments and one month on the fourth, with corresponding adjustments under the proviso for capital gains, dividend income or lottery winnings arising after the instalment due date. The architecture, refined through Finance Acts 2002 and 2016, balances precision of instalment estimation with practical accommodation of uneven income flows.
The interest provisions operate asymmetrically against and in favour of the assessee. Sections 234A, 234B and 234C levy interest on shortfalls and delays in payment. Section 244A grants interest at one-half percent per month (six percent per annum) on refunds arising from excess advance tax, TDS, TCS or self-assessment tax payments, computed from 1 April of the assessment year (for excess advance tax and TDS) or from the date of payment (for self-assessment tax) to the date of refund grant. The rate asymmetry (twelve percent per annum on shortfalls versus six percent per annum on excesses) is a feature of the architecture justified on the rationale that the taxpayer controls the estimation precision and the resulting cash position, while the revenue is in a passive recipient position. The OECD 2017 paper on tax-administration interest rates identifies the asymmetric design as consistent with most OECD comparator regimes.
What Nerkundram clients usually ask next: For Nerkundram engagements specifically — supporting the daily-commute workforce moving between Nerkundram and the Anna Nagar and OMR IT corridors; for Nerkundram businesses balancing tight margins with growing compliance footprints.
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.

“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.”
