Income Tax Return (ITR) Filing in
Kerala

Accurate ITR filing for salaried employees, freelancers, business owners, and companies — with maximum deductions claimed, zero errors, and acknowledgment delivered the same day.

Why it matters

Why Filing Your ITR on Time Is Non-Negotiable

Your ITR is more than a tax document — it's your official income proof for banks, embassies, and government schemes. Skipping it or filing late doesn't just invite penalties; it quietly closes doors: home loan rejections, visa refusals, and ineligibility for government contracts are common consequences.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this service

I'm a salaried employee. My employer deducted TDS. Do I still need to file ITR?

If your gross income exceeds ₹2.5 lakh (₹3 lakh for those above 60), you must file — even if full tax has been deducted at source. Additionally, filing is the only way to claim a refund if excess TDS was deducted, or to carry forward losses.

Which ITR form should I use?

ITR-1 is for salaried individuals with income up to ₹50 lakh. ITR-2 covers capital gains and multiple income sources. ITR-3 is for business or professional income. ITR-4 (Sugam) is for presumptive income businesses. ITR-5/6/7 are for firms and companies. We select the correct form based on your income profile.

I freelance for clients abroad. How is my income taxed?

Freelance income from foreign clients is taxable in India under 'income from business or profession.' You may also be eligible for FEMA and GST benefits on export of services. We assess your situation holistically and apply all available deductions.

What happens if I miss the ITR deadline?

You can file a belated return up to 31 December of the assessment year, with a late fee of ₹5,000 (₹1,000 if income is below ₹5 lakh). After this, you need to file a condonation request. You also lose the ability to carry forward most losses.

I have income from rent, FDs, and stocks along with salary. Is it complicated?

Not with professional help. We consolidate all income sources, apply the right tax rates (short-term and long-term capital gains are taxed differently), and ensure no income is missed or double-counted.

How do I claim my TDS refund?

File your ITR accurately with your correct bank account and IFSC. If your total tax liability is less than the TDS deducted, the difference is refunded directly to your bank account — typically within 15–45 days after filing.

Do you file returns for NRIs and people working in the Gulf?

Yes. NRI taxation has specific rules around residential status, DTAA benefits, and income sourced in India (rent, interest, investments). We file NRI returns and help determine tax residency status correctly.

I received an income tax notice. What should I do?

Do not ignore it. Most notices are routine — mismatches between ITR and 26AS, or requests for additional documents. We respond on your behalf through the e-proceedings portal and close the notice efficiently.
