As the deadline to submit IT
returns is fast approaching there is a lot of rush in submitting IT returns.
The last date for submitting this year’s returns is July 31st. Most
of them suggest detailed step by step information in their blog to submit IT
returns but I would like to keep it simple in mine. According to me, there are
only 2 ways of submitting your IT returns. First option is to take a
professional support and the second one being “Do it yourself”
Our IT department has made
quite a few changes , since the inception of online submission of IT returns
and these days the forms has been made more simpler. If you have a registered
login with Income Tax Website then use the same to file your returns. Some people find
the information provided in this site is not detailed and self explanatory
especially for the first timers. To those people we have other websites which
offers this service for free .
One such website which offers
IT returns services is Clear Tax. It is a product of Defmacro
software Pvt Ltd. All you have to do is open your account with your email ID
and password and within a minute you are ready for submitting your IT returns
through Clear Tax. The moment you get registered with Clear Tax , you will get
a confirmation to the email ID which you have used as User Name. The email has
link for step by step guide to e-file income tax returns which is very
descriptive along with pictorial representation.
All you need to have to get
started is the copy of your Form 16. If your Form 16 is in a PDF format , the
website has an option to upload your Form 16. This will reduce your work by
half as the basic information will be pulled from your Form 16. If Form 16 is
available in hard copy then you have to fill in all the details manually.
After getting into the main
window you have 5 sections to be filled in. They are:
- Personal Info
- Income sources
- Deductions
- Taxes Paid
- Tax filing
All of the above sections
have detailed comments near the header which will guide you to easily fill in
the required information. The site also provide a download option to check the
ITR preview . Also the final section has the summary of your Personal Info,
Income, Deductions and Taxes. These options helps you to quickly verify the
details submitted.
The site also has a link
which takes you to e-filing. Hence you need not navigate out to separately do
this. The site is ISO 27001 certified & SSL Certified site. So you can feel
confident and safe about the information which you enter for filing your IT
returns.So why to wait, get started at the earliest.
Clock is ticking and the
deadline is just a few days away.
Note : As per section 139(1)
of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in India, individuals whose total income during the
previous year exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax, should file
their income tax returns (ITR). The above article is applicable to all
such individuals
