Quick Answer

When must I file ITR-2 instead of ITR-1 in Teynampet, Chennai?

ITR-2 applies to individuals/HUFs without business or professional income but having (a) capital gains under Sections 111A/112/112A, (b) more than one house property, (c) foreign income or Schedule FA foreign assets, (d) agricultural income above ₹5,000, (e) director-in-company status, (f) holding of unlisted equity shares, or (g) RNOR/NR status. Salary plus capital gains from listed equity, even ₹100, pushes you from ITR-1 to ITR-2.

Why FilingPro?

Why Teynampet Clients Choose FilingPro

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

Rule 12 Mapping First

The form prescription under Rule 12 is decided at intake, not at upload. The Teynampet assessee is therefore never confronted with a defective notice on the ground of incorrect form selection.

Section 140A Discharge

Self-assessment tax under Section 140A is computed and remitted before transmission of the return. Interest computation under Sections 234A, 234B and 234C is shown line by line, leaving no scope for a Section 143(1)(a) addition.

AIS Doctrine Applied

Decisions of the Mumbai Bench in Shyamsundar Dalmia and similar rulings affirm that AIS particulars, unsupported by primary evidence, cannot fasten an addition. We file feedback before the return rather than after the demand.

Section 87A Marginal Relief

The proviso to Section 87A read with Section 115BAC(1A) is applied with care, including the marginal relief above the seven-lakh threshold. The Teynampet assessee receives the rebate to the maximum extent the statute permits.

Rule 37BA Credit Discipline

Sub-rule (3) of Rule 37BA is invoked where deductor and assessee differ. The credit assignment letter is annexed and uploaded so that the credit follows the income in the year of assessability.

Section 234F Discipline

The return is transmitted within the time fixed by Section 139(1). The fee under Section 234F therefore never enters the working. Where audit applicability shifts the due date, the calendar is updated immediately.

Key Benefits

What Teynampet Clients Get

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

Zero AIS Mismatch Notices
Every AIS entry — interest, dividend, securities, mutual fund — reconciled to bank/broker records before the return is filed. Teynampet clients on our books face zero Section 143(1)(a) intimation adjustments.
Lower-Tax Regime Always Selected
A documented Section 115BAC vs Old Regime working is filed in our papers each year. The regime that produces the lower tax is selected — saving Teynampet clients ₹15,000 to ₹80,000 a year depending on deduction profile.
Section 87A Rebate Captured
Section 87A rebate of ₹25,000 (NR, up to ₹7 lakh income) and ₹12,500 (OR, up to ₹5 lakh) applied in every working — including marginal relief above ₹7 lakh per the proviso to Section 87A under Section 115BAC(1A).
Section 234F Late Fee Avoided
Returns filed before Section 139(1) due date — 31 July, 31 October or 30 November as applicable. The Section 234F late fee of ₹5,000 (or ₹1,000 below ₹5 lakh) and Section 234A 1% per month interest never apply.
Capital Gains Computed Correctly
Listed equity LTCG at 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh, STCG at 20%, property grandfathering 12.5%-without-indexation versus 20%-with-indexation evaluated both ways — minimum tax outcome selected for each Teynampet client.
Schedule FA Disclosure Clean
R&OR taxpayers' foreign bank accounts, foreign equity (RSU/ESOP), foreign immovable property, signing authority and trust interest fully disclosed in Schedule FA — Section 43 Black Money Act 2015 ₹10 lakh per-AY penalty fully avoided.
Comparison

Old Regime vs New Regime u/s 115BAC

Why this matters here — Across Teynampet, the business activity radiating outward from Anna Salai (Mount Road) and nearby commercial pockets. Practitioners note that with quick access via Teynampet Junction and feeder routes connecting Teynampet to the rest of Chennai.

AspectOld RegimeNew Regime u/s 115BAC
Chapter VI-A deductionsSections 80C, 80D, 80E, 80G, 80TTA, 80TTB and the full Chapter VI-A suite are admissible subject to the respective ceilingsBar under Section 115BAC(2) — only employer's NPS contribution under Section 80CCD(2), Agniveer Corpus Fund under 80CCH(2) and Section 80JJAA are admissible
HRA, LTA and Section 10 exemptionsHRA exemption under Section 10(13A) read with Rule 2A and LTA under Section 10(5) read with Rule 2B are admissible against salaryBoth exemptions are denied by the proviso to Section 115BAC(2); only transport allowance for divyang employees and certain other narrow heads survive
House property interest treatmentSection 24(b) interest up to ₹2,00,000 for self-occupied property is deductible; loss may be set off against other heads subject to the ₹2,00,000 cap of Section 71(3A)Section 24(b) interest on self-occupied property is wholly disallowed; for let-out property interest is allowed but the resulting loss cannot be set off against any other head
Surcharge architecture above ₹5 croreSurcharge slabs of 10/15/25/37 per cent based on income brackets, with the 37 per cent rate kicking in above ₹5 crore for non-capital-gains incomeHighest surcharge capped at 25 per cent by the proviso to Paragraph A of Part I of the First Schedule, eliminating the 37 per cent bracket for opting taxpayers
Carry forward of lossesBusiness and capital-gain losses carry forward and may be set off subject to Sections 70 to 80, including unabsorbed depreciation under Section 32(2)Brought-forward loss and unabsorbed depreciation attributable to disallowed deductions cannot be set off in the New Regime year per the proviso to Section 115BAC(2)
Form prescribed to exercise electionBusiness-income taxpayer files Form 10-IEA on or before the due date under Section 139(1) to opt out of the New RegimeNo separate form for default regime; for salaried-only taxpayers election is made within the ITR itself by ticking the regime field
Break-even arithmetic for salaried taxpayerGenerally beneficial where verified Chapter VI-A and Section 10 exemptions (80C plus 80D plus HRA plus 24(b)) exceed ₹4.5 lakh for income around ₹15 lakhBeneficial where the taxpayer cannot substantiate that deduction load — preferred for taxpayers with limited investments, no HRA exposure and no housing loan interest
Statutory anchorSlab rates under the First Schedule to the Finance Act read with Section 4 of the Income Tax Act 1961Concessional slabs under Section 115BAC(1A) inserted by Finance Act 2020 and substituted by Finance Act 2023

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

Income Tax E-Filing in Teynampet, Chennai 600018

Businesses registered in Teynampet share the Chennai South jurisdiction, and their statutory matters route through the same Mylapore Division each time. Teynampet is a key central-Chennai corporate-hospitality district along Anna Salai, with insurance HQs, five-star hotels, hospitals and high-value retail. GST clients are typically corporate services, insurance broker offices, hospitality and high-AATO retail. Records we prepare for Teynampet carry the geo-zone 600xx tag and coordinates 13.0431, 80.2451, which map each submission back to this locality. Approvals, acknowledgements and queries for Teynampet businesses tie back to the Mylapore Division, so our IT Return cadence accounts for how that office works.

Freight and foot traffic from the Teynampet Junction hub pull steady daily commerce through Teynampet, so there is rarely a quiet filing month in this corporate hospitality and healthcare pocket. Teynampet reads as a corporate hospitality and healthcare pocket with very high commercial activity, anchored around Apollo Hospital and fed by the Teynampet Junction corridor. Most commerce in Teynampet — invoices, expenses, purchases and statutory records — eventually surfaces in the IT Return working file we maintain for clients here. The corporate hospitality and healthcare mix of Teynampet shapes what lands in our workpapers — a blend of insurance activity and the commercial pulse around Apollo Hospital.

For a insurance business in Teynampet, the Income Tax E-Filing scope is rarely generic; we tailor the checklist to how that sector actually transacts.

The business mix in Teynampet centres on insurance, and that sector carries its own Income Tax E-Filing quirks we plan for in advance.

From the same Teynampet team we also serve Royapettah and other nearby localities without re-onboarding clients. Businesses straddling Teynampet and Royapettah get a single IT Return point of contact rather than two. Proximity to Royapettah means a Teynampet engagement can extend across the locality cluster with no change in cadence. Coverage from Teynampet naturally extends to Royapettah, so group entities across the area share one Income Tax E-Filing workflow.

Patterns we track for Teynampet include hospitality documentation gaps, timing mismatches, and the questions the Mylapore Division tends to raise. Because we work repeatedly across Teynampet, we can benchmark a new client's Income Tax E-Filing position against the locality norm. Common patterns in the Mylapore Division give Teynampet businesses an early-warning map we use to pre-empt IT Return issues. Sector signals in Teynampet — seasonal hospitality swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule IT Return work.

For a new business incorporating in Teynampet or shifting its principal place of business here, Income Tax E-Filing setup is one of the first things to get right. When a Nungambakkam business expands into Teynampet, we extend its IT Return setup to PIN 600018 without disruption. A startup setting up near Teynampet Junction in Teynampet gets a IT Return foundation built for the Mylapore Division from day one.

People Also Ask — IT Return in Teynampet
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.
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 the standard deduction for salaried taxpayers in AY 2025-26?

Under the New Regime, Section 16(ia) standard deduction is ₹75,000 as substituted by Finance (No. 2) Act 2024. Under the Old Regime, the standard deduction continues at ₹50,000. Family pensioners get a separate Section 57(iia) deduction.

What is the highest surcharge under the New Regime?

The proviso to Paragraph A of Part I of the First Schedule caps the highest surcharge at 25 per cent under Section 115BAC, eliminating the 37 per cent bracket that applies under the Old Regime for non-capital-gains income above ₹5 crore.

Can I file ITR-1 if I have capital gains?

No. ITR-1 (Sahaj) is restricted to resident individuals with income from salary, one house property, family pension, agricultural income up to ₹5,000 and other sources. Capital gains under Sections 111A, 112 or 112A require migration to ITR-2.

Who is required to file ITR-3?

ITR-3 is for individuals and HUFs with income from proprietary business or profession, partner-share income from a firm, or where books of account are maintained under Section 44AA(1). Presumptive-income taxpayers under Sections 44AD/44ADA/44AE typically use ITR-4 instead.

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.

Appeal options under the Income-tax Act

Second appeal to ITAT under Section 253

Section 253 provides for the further appeal to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Chennai Bench for Tamil Nadu jurisdiction) against the order of the CIT(A). The appeal is filed in Form 36 within sixty days of communication of the CIT(A) order. The ITAT, established under Section 252 as a quasi-judicial body, comprises Judicial Members and Accountant Members sitting in benches of two or in special benches as constituted by the President. The ITAT is the final fact-finding authority — the High Court and the Supreme Court entertain only questions of law and substantial questions of law respectively. The ITAT decisions are binding on the Assessing Officers within the ITAT's territorial jurisdiction, and the Chennai Bench's rulings carry binding precedent across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry for similarly situated assessees.

High Court and Supreme Court appeals

Section 260A provides for appeal to the High Court (Madras High Court for Tamil Nadu jurisdiction) against the ITAT order on a substantial question of law. The appeal is filed within one hundred twenty days of receipt of the ITAT order, with the substantial question of law to be formulated at the time of admission. The Supreme Court entertains further appeals under Section 261 (statutory appeal where the High Court certifies the case as fit for appeal) and under Article 136 of the Constitution (special leave to appeal). The constitutional architecture of multi-tiered judicial review provides the highest level of legal certainty for substantial-question-of-law questions, with the Supreme Court rulings binding across the country under Article 141 of the Constitution. The Indian appellate framework is among the more elaborate in comparator jurisdictions, reflecting the constitutional emphasis on access to justice.

Alternative remedies and revision

Beyond the formal appellate ladder, the Income-tax Act provides alternative remedies. Section 264 enables the Principal Commissioner to revise orders in favour of the assessee on application filed within one year of communication of the order, providing a non-adversarial correction route. Section 263 empowers the Principal Commissioner to revise orders prejudicial to the revenue, with corresponding procedural safeguards. Section 154 rectification of mistakes apparent from record remains available across all levels. Article 226 writ jurisdiction of the High Court is invokable in cases of jurisdictional excess, procedural breach or arbitrariness, with the Madras High Court regularly entertaining writ petitions in income-tax matters where alternative remedies prove inadequate or where fundamental procedural safeguards have been breached. The architecture in combination provides multi-layered procedural protection consistent with the constitutional rule-of-law principles.

Who must file under Section 139(1)

Individuals and Hindu undivided families

For individuals and Hindu undivided families, the basic exemption limit applicable depends on the regime elected. Under the default new regime per Section 115BAC(1A) effective from assessment year 2024-25, the basic exemption is three lakh rupees uniformly. Under the old regime, the exemption is two lakh fifty thousand rupees for non-senior individuals, three lakh rupees for senior citizens (sixty to seventy-nine years), and five lakh rupees for very senior citizens (eighty years and above). The Section 139(1) trigger applies to total income before deductions under Chapter VI-A and exemptions under Section 54 series, meaning a person whose gross total income is above threshold must file even where net taxable income after deductions is nil. This pre-deduction trigger is consistent with the design articulated by the Vijay Kelkar Task Force 2002 on direct taxes, which emphasised filing-obligation independence from final tax liability.

Companies, firms and LLPs

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

Trusts, political parties and exempt entities

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

ITR forms by taxpayer category

ITR-4 Sugam for presumptive taxpayers

ITR-4 Sugam is applicable to resident individuals, Hindu undivided families and firms (other than LLPs) with total income up to fifty lakh rupees and presumptive business income under Section 44AD (eight percent or six percent on digital receipts), Section 44ADA (fifty percent on professional receipts up to seventy-five lakh rupees) or Section 44AE (one thousand rupees per ton per month for heavy goods vehicles, seven thousand five hundred rupees per month for other vehicles for goods-transport operators with ten or fewer carriages). The form simplifies the disclosure to a single Schedule BP entry with the presumptive computation, eliminating the detailed profit-and-loss and books-of-account schedules required in ITR-3. The Empowered Committee's 2009 first discussion paper and the subsequent OECD 2015 Tax Administration report on small-business compliance both identify presumptive regimes as a compliance-cost reduction mechanism whose ITR-form simplification reinforces the substantive simplification of the underlying tax computation.

ITR-1 Sahaj for salaried individuals

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

ITR-2 for capital gains and multiple income sources

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

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Best Judgment Assessment

Best Judgment Assessment is an assessment under Section 144 where the assessee has not furnished a return or has not complied with notices under Section 142 or 143(2). The Assessing Officer makes the assessment on the basis of all relevant material gathered after giving the assessee an opportunity of being heard.

Intimation under Section 143(1)

Intimation under Section 143(1) is the system-generated communication from the CPC carrying the computation of total income after prima-facie adjustments — arithmetical errors, incorrect claims apparent from the return, and AIS or Form 26AS mismatches. Issued within nine months from the end of the FY of furnishing the return.

Defective Return

Defective Return is a return treated as defective by the CPC or the Assessing Officer under Section 139(9). The assessee is given fifteen days, or such extended time as allowed, to rectify the defect; otherwise the return is rendered invalid and treated as not furnished.

Belated Return

Belated Return is a return furnished under Section 139(4) after the original due date under Section 139(1) but on or before 31 December of the assessment year. Loss carry-forward (other than house property loss and unabsorbed depreciation) is denied, and Section 234F fee is leviable.

Revised Return

Revised Return is a return filed under Section 139(5) to correct an omission or wrong statement in a return earlier furnished under Section 139(1) or 139(4). Each revision supersedes the immediately preceding return; revision is permitted up to 31 December of the assessment year.

Updated Return

Updated Return is a return furnished in Form ITR-U under Section 139(8A) read with Section 140B within twenty-four months from the end of the relevant assessment year. Additional tax of 25 percent or 50 percent applies. ITR-U cannot reduce tax, increase loss, or generate a refund.

EVC

EVC is the Electronic Verification Code — a one-time alphanumeric code generated through Aadhaar OTP, Net Banking, bank-account validation or Demat-account validation, used to e-verify the return without sending a physical ITR-V. Recognised under Rule 12 of CPR Scheme 2011.

DSC

DSC is the Digital Signature Certificate — a Class-3 cryptographic certificate issued by a licensed certifying authority under the Information Technology Act 2000. Mandatory for verification of returns by companies, LLPs and tax-audit assessees under Rule 12(3)(aaa).

ITR-V

ITR-V is the verification form generated where the return is filed without DSC or EVC. The signed ITR-V is to be despatched to CPC at Bengaluru within thirty days of transmission of the return data. Failure to despatch in time invalidates the return.

Form 26AS

Form 26AS is the Annual Tax Statement reflecting tax credits — TDS by deductors, TCS by collectors, advance tax and self-assessment tax payments, refunds received. Generated through TRACES. Reconciliation against the books of account is the first step in any e-filing engagement.

AIS

AIS is the Annual Information Statement under Section 285BB read with Rule 114-I. Comprehensive statement covering Form 26AS data plus interest, dividends, securities, mutual fund transactions, foreign remittances, GST turnover and other notified data points. Taxpayer feedback is accepted.

TIS

TIS is the Taxpayer Information Summary — a simplified, category-wise summary derived from the AIS, showing the value reported by the source and the value derived after taxpayer feedback. Both AIS and TIS are accessible on the e-filing portal.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Teynampet

How the local trade mix shapes this — Across Teynampet, the business activity radiating outward from Anna Salai (Mount Road) and nearby commercial pockets.

Healthcare
Common issue: Medical practitioners running standalone clinics or consulting independently across hospitals frequently elect Section 44ADA presumptive taxation at fifty percent of gross receipts. The challenge surfaces when professional receipts include collections retained by the hospital before remittance, with the hospital deducting tax under Section 194J on the gross consultation fee. The practitioner's books may record only the net remittance while Form 26AS reflects the gross, producing a receipts-side mismatch that defeats the presumptive election when receipts appear to exceed the seventy-five lakh ceiling.
How we handle it: Reconcile hospital remittance statements against Section 194J entries in Form 26AS at the gross level; report gross receipts in Schedule BP corresponding to the Form 26AS aggregate, not the net bank credit; where the gross approaches the Section 44ADA ceiling, transition to ITR-3 with books of account well in advance; maintain a separate ledger for each hospital arrangement to support any subsequent Section 142(1) enquiry.
Healthcare
Common issue: Hospital chains structured as limited liability partnerships or private limited companies face the question of optional concessional rate under Section 115BAA at twenty-two percent for domestic companies. The election once made under Section 115BAA(5) is irrevocable and bars set-off of brought-forward losses attributable to additional depreciation and specified deductions. Many entities make the election without computing the multi-year impact of the additional depreciation forfeiture, particularly on recently commissioned diagnostic infrastructure.
How we handle it: Model the Section 115BAA election against the residual brought-forward additional depreciation balance and the projected normal-regime tax for the next three to five years; file Form 10-IC before the Section 139(1) due date of the year of first election; document the board resolution capturing the irrevocability acknowledgement; reflect the election in the audit report Form 3CA-3CD clause 8 disclosures so the position is contemporaneously recorded.
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.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

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.
Goetze (India) v CITHealthcare

Revised return doctrine of Goetze v CIT applied to deduction claim

Issue: A specialty clinic owner had failed to claim Section 80JJAA deduction for ₹4.8 lakh in respect of new employees hired during AY 2023-24 in the original return filed on 31 July 2023. The omission was noticed during routine tax-position review in October 2023.
Approach: Filed a revised return under Section 139(5) before 31 December 2023 capturing the Section 80JJAA claim with the Form 10DA report annexed. We deliberately avoided merely writing to the AO with the deduction claim — the Supreme Court ratio in Goetze (India) v CIT v 284 ITR 323 holds that an AO cannot entertain a fresh claim except by a revised return. Filing the revised return was the only safe route.
Outcome: Revised return processed; deduction of ₹4.8 lakh allowed; refund of ₹1,49,760 received; the appellate route did not have to be invoked.
Section 44ADAHealthcare

Presumptive income under Section 44ADA exceeded — books required

Issue: A dental surgeon with FY 2023-24 gross professional receipts of ₹82 lakh (received in cash and digital mix) had been filing under Section 44ADA presumptive scheme in prior years. For FY 2023-24 the receipts exceeded the ₹75 lakh threshold under the proviso to Section 44ADA(1) inserted by Finance Act 2023 (₹75 lakh applies where cash receipts do not exceed 5 per cent).
Approach: Examined the cash-receipts proportion — it was 14 per cent of total, well above the 5 per cent ceiling for the enhanced ₹75 lakh threshold. Therefore the standard ₹50 lakh ceiling applied and Section 44ADA was not available. Migrated client to ITR-3 with books of account under Section 44AA(1), arranged Section 44AB tax audit, computed actual profit at 38 per cent instead of presumptive 50 per cent, saving tax of approximately ₹2.6 lakh.
Outcome: Tax audit completed on time; ITR-3 filed by 31 October 2024 deadline; actual profit ₹31.16 lakh vs presumptive ₹41 lakh; net tax saving including audit fees ₹2.1 lakh; client moved to books-of-account regime permanently.
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.

ITR-2 applies to individuals/HUFs without business or professional income but having (a) capital gains under Sections 111A/112/112A, (b) more than one house property, (c) foreign income or Schedule FA foreign assets, (d) agricultural income above ₹5,000, (e) director-in-company status, (f) holding of unlisted equity shares, or (g) RNOR/NR status. Salary plus capital gains from listed equity, even ₹100, pushes you from ITR-1 to ITR-2.

To opt out, a taxpayer with business/professional income must file Form 10-IEA on or before the Section 139(1) due date — once exercised, the opt-out can be reversed only once in a lifetime. Salaried taxpayers without business income may switch each year while filing the return.
Section 56(2)(x) taxes any sum of money exceeding ₹50,000 in aggregate received without consideration as 'income from other sources'. Immovable property received without consideration with stamp duty value over ₹50,000 — entire stamp value is taxable. For inadequate consideration, the difference (if exceeding ₹50,000 or 10% of consideration, whichever is higher) is taxed. Exemptions: gifts from relatives (defined), on marriage, by will/inheritance, from local authority/specified trust. Reportable in ITR-2 and onwards.
Yes. Along with Teynampet, we serve Alwarpet and the wider Chennai South belt for Income Tax E-Filing. Wherever you are in this part of Chennai, the process and our 9566-068-468 line stay the same.
HRA exemption equals the least of (a) actual HRA received, (b) rent paid less 10% of salary, (c) 50% of salary for metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai) or 40% for non-metros. 'Salary' for HRA = Basic + DA forming part of retirement benefits + commission as fixed % of turnover. HRA is available only under the Old Regime — Section 115BAC(1A)(ii) bars it. Rent paid above ₹1,00,000 per annum requires landlord PAN per CBDT Circular.
Under Section 139(9) the AO/CPC may treat a return as defective for reasons listed in the Explanation — e.g., return not accompanied by tax payment proof, mismatch between gross receipts and tax-audit thresholds, ITR form mismatch with declared income, P&L/balance sheet not filled where business income is declared, books-of-account requirement under Section 44AA not satisfied. The taxpayer is given 15 days to rectify (extendable on application). Failure to cure makes the return invalid — i.e., treated as if never filed.

31 July 2025 for individuals/HUFs/BOIs/AOPs not subject to audit and partners of non-audit firms. 31 October 2025 where the taxpayer or the firm in which he is a partner is liable to tax audit under Section 44AB. 30 November 2025 where the taxpayer is required to furnish Form 3CEB report under Section 92E (international transactions / specified domestic transactions).
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.
Our Maduravoyal office on Alapakkam Main Road (opposite KVB Bank) is well connected — from Teynampet, the Teynampet Junction is a handy reference point on the way. That said, IT Return rarely needs a visit; most of it is done online.
Submit feedback in the AIS portal selecting the correct option — 'Information is duplicate', 'Information relates to another PAN', 'Income is not taxable' etc. The AIS gets updated and the modified value flows to TIS. Even after feedback, retain documentary evidence (broker statement, bank statement, contract notes). Do not blindly include AIS figures — AIS is a report from third parties, not a final tax assessment. (See ITAT Mumbai in Shyamsundar Dalmia where AIS-only addition without corroboration was deleted.)
Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 amended Section 112A: long-term capital gains on listed equity shares, equity-oriented mutual funds and units of business trust (where STT is paid) are taxed at 12.5% (raised from 10%) on gains above ₹1,25,000 per year (raised from ₹1,00,000) — applicable to transfers on or after 23 July 2024. Indexation has been removed for most assets transferred on/after 23 July 2024 under Section 112; for resident individuals/HUFs holding immovable property acquired before 23-07-2024, a grandfathering option of 20% with indexation OR 12.5% without indexation is available.
ITR-7 is filed by persons including companies required to furnish return under Sections 139(4A) (charitable/religious trust), 139(4B) (political party), 139(4C) (research association, news agency, hospital, university — Section 10(23C) entities) and 139(4D) (university/college not required to file under any other provision). Form 10B (charitable trust audit) or Form 10BB is to be filed before ITR-7. Late filing risks denial of Section 11/12 exemption.
Under Section 111A, short-term capital gain on listed equity, equity mutual funds and business trust units (where STT paid) is taxed at 20% (raised from 15%) for transfers on or after 23 July 2024 per Finance (No. 2) Act 2024. STCG on other capital assets continues to be taxed at slab rates.
