Income Tax Return Filing in Pune - Overview

📌 TL;DR - Income Tax Return Filing in Pune Services at a Glance

Income Tax Return (ITR) filing is the annual process of declaring income, computing tax liability, and claiming refunds on incometax.gov.in. For Pune taxpayers in FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), the deadline is 31 July 2026 for ITR-1/ITR-2, 31 August 2026 for ITR-3/ITR-4 (non-audit, per Budget 2026), and 31 October 2026 for audit cases. The new tax regime is the default - but the old regime may save more for Pune employees claiming HRA (50% metro rate), 80C, 80D, and home loan interest. Section 87A rebate: income up to Rs 12 lakh = zero tax under new regime.

Pune has over 5 lakh salaried IT professionals in Hinjewadi, Kharadi, and Magarpatta. Beyond salary, many have rental income, capital gains, freelance income, and bank interest - each requiring different computation and ITR form. Learn more about Income Tax Return Filing across India.

Patron Accounting handles ITR filing from our Pune office at RTC Silver, Wagholi - with AIS/TIS/Form 26AS reconciliation, old vs new regime comparison, capital gains computation, advance tax planning, refund tracking, and post-filing notice response with the AO at Aaykar Bhavan, Pune.

What Is Income Tax Return Filing?

Income Tax Return (ITR) filing is the annual process of declaring total income from all sources, computing tax liability after deductions and exemptions, reporting taxes already paid (TDS, advance tax, self-assessment tax), and claiming refunds on the Income Tax e-Filing portal under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Under the new tax regime for FY 2025-26, no tax is payable on income up to Rs 12 lakh (Section 87A rebate of Rs 60,000). Under the old regime, basic exemption is Rs 3 lakh. Even if income is below the limit, filing is recommended for claiming refunds, carrying forward losses, and financial records for loans and visas.

The IT Department uses AIS (Annual Information Statement), TIS, and Form 26AS to cross-verify income declared in the ITR. AIS aggregates data from banks, mutual funds, stock brokers, property registrars, and other sources. Any mismatch triggers a notice from CPC Bengaluru or the jurisdictional AO in Pune. CA-assisted filing with proper AIS reconciliation prevents these mismatches.

Key Terms for Income Tax Return Filing in Pune:

AIS: Annual Information Statement - comprehensive income data from banks, MFs, brokers used to cross-verify ITR.

Section 87A Rebate: Income up to Rs 12 lakh = zero tax under new regime (Rs 60,000 rebate for FY 2025-26).

Section 115BAC: New tax regime with lower rates but no 80C/80D/HRA deductions. Default from FY 2023-24.

Form 10-IEA: Form to opt for old regime for business/professional taxpayers. Must be filed before ITR due date.

Section 234F: Late filing fee - Rs 5,000 (Rs 1,000 if income below Rs 5 lakh).

HRA Metro Rate: Pune classified as metro - HRA exemption at 50% of basic salary under old regime.

Our Process

ITR Filing Process in Pune - 6 Steps

Patron manages the complete tax-year lifecycle - from advance tax to return filing to notice response.

Step 1

Collect Income Documents and Form 16

Patron collects: Form 16 (salary, available mid-June from Pune employers), bank interest certificates, capital gains statements (Zerodha, Groww, CAMS/KFintech), property rental agreements, freelance/business records, investment proofs (80C, 80D, NPS, home loan). Download AIS, TIS, Form 26AS from IT portal.

Docs Collected AIS Downloaded
Data Ready01
Step 2

Reconcile AIS/TIS/Form 26AS with Actual Income

Most critical step DIY filers miss. Patron reconciles every AIS line item (bank interest, dividends, MF transactions, property, SFT entries) with actual records. Mismatches identified and resolved: unreported FD interest, unclaimed TDS, incorrect entries. Filing without AIS match triggers notices.

AIS Matched Mismatches Fixed
Reconciled02
Step 3

Compute Tax Under Both Regimes

Actual tax under old and new regime for FY 2025-26. Old regime for Pune: HRA 50% of basic (metro), 80C (Rs 1.5 lakh), 80D (Rs 25-50K health insurance), Section 24(b) home loan (Rs 2 lakh), NPS 80CCD(1B) (Rs 50K), standard deduction (Rs 75K). New regime: lower slabs + Rs 75K deduction only. Recommend lowest tax regime.

Old Regime Tax New Regime Tax
OLDNEW
Optimised03
Step 4

File ITR on Income Tax e-Filing Portal

File correct form (ITR-1 to ITR-7) on incometax.gov.in. Income details, deductions, tax computation, bank account for refund. Verified via Aadhaar OTP, DSC, or EVC. ITR-V acknowledgment generated. For old regime business taxpayers, Form 10-IEA filed before due date.

Return Submitted04
Step 5

E-Verify and Track Processing

E-verify within 30 days (Aadhaar OTP, net banking, DSC). Return processed by CPC Bengaluru. Section 143(1) intimation issued confirming or adjusting computation. Patron tracks processing status and refund on IT portal.
