ITR filing for salaried employees
You draw a salary, you have a Form 16, and you want the return done properly.
Form: ITR-1 (or ITR-2 where capital gains or a second property are involved)
What is included
- Form 16 checked line by line against your payslips
- Old regime and new regime both calculated before we file, and the lower one filed
- HRA exemption computed on all three statutory limbs, not estimated
- AIS and Form 26AS reconciled against your own records
- Draft computation sent to you in plain language for approval
- Filed acknowledgement (ITR-V) delivered to you
What we need from you
Send what you have. If something on this list is missing we will tell you which item it is, rather than leaving you to work it out.
- Form 16 from every employer you worked for during the year
- PAN and Aadhaar
- Bank account number and IFSC for the refund
- Rent receipts and your landlord's PAN if rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 in the year
- Interest certificates from banks, and your home loan certificate if you have one
- Proof of any deductions you want claimed under the old regime
The mistake that costs salaried people the most: changing jobs mid-year
If you worked for two employers in the same year, each one gave you the full basic exemption and the full standard deduction when calculating your TDS. Neither knew about the other. The result is that your total TDS is short, often by a substantial amount, and the shortfall only appears when the return is filed. People discover it as an unexpected tax demand. We catch it by adding both Form 16s together before we compute anything, which is also why we ask for all of them rather than just the latest.
How it works
- 1 Send your documents
WhatsApp them, email them, or walk into the office. We will tell you exactly what is missing rather than leaving you to guess.
- 2 We review and compute
We reconcile everything against AIS and Form 26AS, and calculate both tax regimes so you file under the lower one.
- 3 You approve the computation
You get the draft in plain language, with the figures explained. Nothing is filed until you say yes.
- 4 We file and send the acknowledgement
Filed within 24 to 48 hours of your approval, with the ITR-V acknowledgement delivered to you.
Questions we get asked
I have two Form 16s. Is that a problem?
Not a problem, but it does need care — see the note above about under-deducted TDS. Send us both and we will handle it.
My employer already deducted TDS. Do I still need to file?
Almost certainly yes. TDS is a payment on account, not a return. Filing is a separate obligation and it is how you claim any refund you are owed.
Can I claim HRA if I pay rent to my parents?
Yes, provided the arrangement is genuine — they must actually own the property and must declare the rent as their income. Keep a rent agreement and pay by bank transfer.
