It is that time of the year again, when you have to file your taxes. For those who want to avoid the hassles of going to an agent, or standing in a long queue, here is a super tip. It takes a maximum of 30 minutes to file your IT returns using this method.
Pre requisites: Java SE runtime 6 on the client
I have already filed her taxes using this method, and hence recommend the following steps:
a. Open the site https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
b. Register for user (give the user id also as a PAN number)
c. You will receive the registration mail
d. Login to the site with the credentials provided in the mail
e. Go to downloads menu
f. Download ITR1 from Downloads
g. Fill out all the details in the ITR form
h. Validate each page General1, General2, TDS (fill either 21 or 23)
i. Click on Generate XML
j. Check the summary and click on ‘Save XML’
k. open the site, click ‘Submit return’
l. Upload the file and click on Upload. (Do not select the check box here... as it requires the Java runtime udpdated...)
m. you will see a message that it is successfully submitted.. if not error then go to (g).
n. Go to my profile menu -> My Returns
o. Select ‘2009-2010’ and click ‘Submit’
p. Click on the link ‘Click here’ to get the submitted ITR form ... or they would have already sent the copy to you..
Note: If the person doesn’t have digital signature, then after submitting retruns he/she gets ITR V. This has to be submitted to the nearest income tax office within 15 days of filing tax returns.
If the person has digital signature, then he/she gets online acknowledgement, and nothing more has to be done for filing.
In the online world, I say it is time now to stop encouraging consultants or brokers. Enjoy filing online and save Rs 200/- or more, that you pay to tax consultants.
