Question 1

Who should file an ITR?

Accepted Answer

An individual whose annual income is more than the basic exemption limit of Rs 2.5 lakh should file an ITR. The basic exemption limit for senior citizens (60 years onwards and less than 80 years) is Rs 3 lakh, and for super senior citizens is Rs 5 lakh.

Question 2

How can I claim deductions for tax saving?

Accepted Answer

You can claim deductions for tax savings by investing in specified instruments under sections like 80C (e.g., PPF, ELSS, life insurance), 80D (health insurance premiums), 80E (education loan interest), and more. Our experts can help identify the best options for your profile.

Question 3

I receive my salary income after deduction of TDS. Am I required to file an income tax return?

Accepted Answer

Yes, even if TDS has been deducted, you are required to file an ITR if your gross total income is above the basic exemption limit. Filing an ITR is also necessary to claim a tax refund if excess TDS has been deducted or to carry forward losses.

Question 4

How do I check TDS details from my Form 26AS (now Form 168)?

Accepted Answer

Form 26AS has been renamed Form 168 under the Income Tax Act 2025, effective for income earned from 1 April 2026 onward — the content is the same, just the number changed. You can view or download it from the Income Tax e-filing portal. It provides a consolidated statement of all tax credits associated with your PAN, including TDS, TCS, advance tax, and self-assessment tax paid.

Question 5

How can I claim an income tax refund?

Accepted Answer

If you've paid more tax than you were liable for, you can claim a refund by filing your Income Tax Return. The excess amount will be calculated by the Income Tax Department and refunded to your pre-validated bank account.
