Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs to file an Income Tax Return (ITR) in India?

Any individual whose gross total income exceeds the basic exemption limit (₹2.5 lakh below 60, ₹3 lakh for senior citizens, ₹5 lakh for super senior citizens) must file an ITR. Companies and LLPs must file regardless of taxable income. Filing is also mandatory if you hold foreign assets, want to claim a TDS refund, or have carried-forward losses to claim.

What is the due date for ITR filing for individuals and businesses?

Individuals and HUFs not subject to audit: 31st July. Businesses requiring a tax audit: 31st October. Companies and transfer-pricing cases: 30th November. Missing the deadline attracts a late filing fee under Section 234F (up to ₹5,000) and interest under Section 234A on unpaid tax.

What documents are required for Income Tax Return filing in Ahmedabad?

Key documents: PAN and Aadhaar, Form 16 (from employer), Form 26AS and AIS/TIS (from the income tax portal), bank statements, investment proofs under Section 80C/80D, capital gains statements from brokers/mutual funds, and rental income receipts. For business income, audited financials or books of accounts are also required.

How can a Chartered Accountant legally reduce my income tax liability?

A CA uses legitimate strategies: optimal use of deductions under Sections 80C (up to ₹1.5 lakh via PPF, ELSS, LIC), 80D (health insurance), 80G (donations), and HRA exemptions. For business owners and HNIs, strategies include HUF formation, salary structuring, timing capital gains, and selecting the optimal tax regime. All strategies are fully compliant with the Income Tax Act.

What should I do if I receive an Income Tax notice?

Do not ignore any notice. Notices are issued under various sections — 143(1) for processing discrepancies, 148 for reassessment, 156 for tax demand, or 131 for verification — and each has a specific response deadline. A Chartered Accountant can interpret the notice, gather required documentation, and represent you during proceedings, significantly reducing your penalty risk.
