File flawlessly, claim every rupee, and keep the taxman cheering—powered by Finance Shelter—
Picture this…
It’s 30 July—one day before the deadline. Form-16 just arrived, your mutual-fund statements
are everywhere, and the portal is slower than a monsoon traffic jam. One typo or missed
Section-80C receipt means either extra tax or a frightening notice.
Now rewind three weeks: Finance Shelter e-files your Income-Tax Return (ITR) while you sip
coffee. Refund already reflecting as “Processed.” Inbox blissfully silent.
1. Why Timely, Spot-On ITRs Matter
- Legal shield – avoid penalties up to ₹10,000 and 1 % monthly interest.
- Instant refunds – excess TDS back in your bank, boosting cash-flow.
- Credit muscle – lenders and visa officers treat clean ITRs as gold.
- Loss carry-forward – only a filed return lets you offset today’s losses against tomorrow’s profits.
- Peace of mind – one more life admin task off your shoulders.
2. Who Must File—and Who Really Should
Mandatory:
- Individuals with income above the basic exemption (₹2.5 L / ₹3 L / ₹5 L, age-based).
- Anyone with foreign assets, crypto trades, or TDS/TCS credit.
- Companies, LLPs, partnerships—irrespective of profit or loss. Highly advisable:
- Freelancers and gig workers wanting loans.
- NRIs who wish to repatriate funds.
- Students applying for foreign universities that request proof of income.
3. Choose the Right ITR Form—Demystified
- ITR-1 (Sahaj): Salary, one house property, interest income, total ≤ ₹50 L.
- ITR-2: Multiple houses, capital gains, ESOPs, foreign assets—no business income.
- ITR-3: Business or professional income (consultants, doctors, traders).
- ITR-4 (Sugam): Presumptive taxation under Sections 44AD/ADA/AE.
- ITR-5, 6, 7: LLPs, companies, trusts, NGOs.
