Documents Required

  • Form 16: From employer(s). Multiple if job changed in FY
  • Form 26AS / AIS / TIS: Downloaded from incometax.gov.in
  • Bank Statements: Interest income, savings account details
  • Investment Proofs: 80C (PPF, ELSS, LIC), 80D (health insurance), NPS
  • Capital Gains Statements: From brokers (equity, MF). Property sale documents
  • ESOP/RSU Details: Vesting schedule, exercise price, sale transactions, US brokerage statement

Bangalore-Specific Tip: IT professionals with ESOPs/RSUs from US-listed MNCs must report in Schedule FA (foreign assets) and Schedule CG. AIS often shows incomplete data for broker transactions - Patron reconciles every entry against actual capital gains statements before filing.
