    Frequently Asked Questions

    Income Tax Questions — Answered

    Real questions from our Vadodara clients, answered plainly by our CA team.

    The answer depends entirely on your deduction profile. For FY 2025-26, the New Regime offers a full rebate up to ₹12 lakh (Sec 87A) and a standard deduction of ₹75,000. The Old Regime can still work out cheaper if you have large deductions (80C, HRA, 80D, home loan interest); the break-even point depends on your income. Our CA team runs a precise comparison for your income before recommending the best regime — our calculator above gives you a starting point.

    For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27): 31 July 2026 for salaried individuals and pensioners filing ITR-1 or ITR-2; 31 August 2026 for business and professional taxpayers who do not need an audit (ITR-3 and ITR-4); 31 October 2026 if your accounts need a tax audit (generally business turnover above ₹1 crore, or ₹10 crore where cash transactions are within 5%, and professional receipts above ₹50 lakh); and 30 November 2026 for transfer pricing cases. A belated return can still be filed until 31 December 2026 with a late fee of ₹1,000 (income up to ₹5 lakh) or ₹5,000 (income above ₹5 lakh), plus interest under Section 234A.

    A Section 143(2) notice means your return has been selected for scrutiny assessment. Do not respond without professional guidance. We will review the notice, assess the reasons for scrutiny (high deductions, large refunds, discrepancy in Form 26AS), compile documentary evidence, and prepare a comprehensive submission. We represent you directly before the Assessing Officer so you never have to attend a hearing alone.

    Under Section 44AD, eligible businesses with turnover up to ₹2 crore (₹3 crore where cash receipts are within 5%) can declare 8% of turnover (6% for digital receipts) as net profit — without maintaining detailed books of accounts or getting an audit. Under Section 44ADA, professionals (doctors, CA, lawyers, engineers, architects) with gross receipts up to ₹50 lakh (₹75 lakh where cash receipts are within 5%) can declare 50% as profit. Our CA team determines your eligibility and ensures you are not unnecessarily paying for a full audit when the presumptive scheme is available.

    Yes, if an NRI earns any income in India — including rental income from Vadodara property, capital gains on Indian investments, or interest from NRO accounts — an ITR must be filed in India. Money sent abroad from your Indian accounts usually needs Form 15CA, plus a CA's certificate in Form 15CB when the amount is taxable and above ₹5 lakh in a year, and TDS deducted on NRO interest can be refunded through a correctly filed ITR. Our team specializes in NRI tax compliance, DTAA benefit claims, and Form 15CA / 15CB certification.

    Our fees are transparent and fixed — no surprise billing. ITR-1 for salaried individuals starts from ₹999. Business ITR-3 / ITR-4 starts from ₹2,500 depending on complexity. Corporate ITR-6 and LLP returns are quoted on scope. All notices, scrutiny representations, and appeal matters are quoted separately based on the complexity of the case. We provide a written fee schedule before any engagement. Contact us for a personalised quote.
