Salaried ITR Filing
Salaried and want it filed right? We file your ITR from Form 16, reconcile with AIS/26AS, claim every deduction you're entitled to, compare the old and new regimes, and e-verify — from ₹499.
Quick answer
A salaried return is filed on ITR-1 or ITR-2 and is due 31 July 2026 for AY 2026-27 — the 31 August date applies only where there is business or professional income. The new regime is the default, with a ₹75,000 standard deduction on salary. The return must be e-verified within 30 days of filing or it is treated as filed on the verification date.

Overview
What is Salaried ITR Filing?
If you're salaried, your employer deducts TDS and gives you Form 16 — but you still need to file your own income tax return to report your income, claim all your deductions, account for any other income, and get any refund due.
Filing right means using the correct form (ITR-1 for simple salary, ITR-2 if you have capital gains or more than one house property), reconciling with AIS/26AS, choosing the better of the old and new tax regimes, and e-verifying.
Your date did not move. For AY 2026-27 a salaried return is due 31 July 2026 — the 31 August date applies only where there is business or professional income, and a salaried filer sits in the residual row. The new regime is the default, with a ₹75,000 standard deduction on salary and a section 87A rebate of up to ₹60,000 where total income does not exceed ₹12,00,000, so the regime comparison is usually the single biggest decision on a salaried return. And whatever you file must be e-verified within 30 days — verify later and the return is treated as furnished on the verification date, which can quietly turn an on-time filing into a late one.
We file your salaried return from Form 16, claim every deduction you qualify for, compare the regimes, and complete e-verification.

FAQs
Salaried ITR Filing — frequently asked questions
Do I need to file an ITR if my employer deducted TDS?
Usually yes. TDS is just tax collected through the year — you still file a return to report income, claim deductions and get any refund of excess TDS.
Which ITR form do salaried people use?
ITR-1 for simple salary income within limits; ITR-2 if you have capital gains, more than one house property, or higher income. We pick the right one.
Can you help me choose the old or new regime?
Yes. We compute your tax under both and file under whichever is lower for you. See our old-vs-new regime page for more.
What deductions can a salaried person claim?
Common ones include 80C (investments), 80D (health insurance), HRA, home-loan interest and the standard deduction — depending on the regime you choose. We claim everything you qualify for.
I have two Form 16s from changing jobs — what now?
We consolidate both so your total income and TDS are correctly reported, avoiding the under-reporting that triggers notices.
How much do you charge?
Salaried ITR starts at ₹499 (+ GST) for a single Form 16, with higher tiers for multiple incomes or capital gains. Any tax payable is separate and statutory.
What do I receive?
Your filed ITR, the regime comparison, all deductions claimed, and completed e-verification with the acknowledgement.
