CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Income Tax in India: Guide, IT Returns, E-filing Process 2019

Taxes in India can be categorized as direct and indirect taxes. Direct tax is a tax you pay on your
income directly to the government. Indirect tax is a tax that somebody else collects on your behalf and
pays to the government such as restaurants, theatres and e-commerce websites recover taxes from you
on goods you purchase or a service you avail. This tax is, in turn, passed down to the government.
Direct Taxes are broadly classified as:

1. Income Tax – This is taxes an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family or any taxpayer other than
companies, pay on the income received. The law prescribes the rate at which such income should be
taxed.

2. Corporate Tax – This is the tax that companies pay on the profits they make from their businesses.
Here again, a specific rate of tax for corporates has been prescribed by the income tax laws of India.

Indirect taxes take many forms: service tax on restaurant bills and movie tickets, value-added tax or
VAT on goods such as clothes and electronics. Goods and services tax, which has recently been
introduced, is a unified tax that has replaced all the indirect taxes that business owners have to deal
with.

Income Tax Basics


Everyone who earns or gets an income in India is subject to income tax. (Yes, be it a resident or a
non-resident of India). Also read our article on Income Tax for NRIs. Your income could be salary,
pension or could be from a savings account that’s quietly accumulating a 4% interest. Even, winners
of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ have to pay tax on their prize money. For simpler classification, the
Income Tax Department breaks down income into five heads:

Head of Income Nature of Income covered

Income from Income from salary and pension are covered under here
Salary
Income from Income from savings bank account interest, fixed deposits, winning KBC
Other Sources
Income from This is rental income mostly
House Property
Income from Income from sale of a capital asset such as mutual funds, shares, house
Capital Gains property

Income from This is when you are self-employed, work as a freelancer or contractor, or
Business and you run a business. Life insurance agents, chartered accountants, doctors and
Profession lawyers who have their own practice, tuition teachers

Taxpayers and Income Tax Slabs


Taxpayers in India, for the purpose of income tax include:

 Individuals, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), Association of Persons (AOP) and Body of
Individuals (BOI)
 Firms
 Companies

Each of these taxpayers is taxed differently under the Indian income tax laws. While firms and Indian
companies have a fixed rate of tax of 30% of profits, the individual, HUF, AOP and BOI taxpayers are
taxed based on the income slab they fall under. People’s incomes are grouped into blocks called tax
brackets or tax slabs. And each tax slab has a different tax rate. In India, we have four tax brackets
each with an increasing tax rate.

 Income earners of up to 2.5 lakhs


 Income earners of between 2.5 lakhs and 5 lakhs
 Income earners of between 5 lakhs and 10 lakhs
 Those earning more than Rs10 lakhs

Income Range Tax rate Tax to be paid


Up to Rs.2,50,000 0 No tax
Between Rs.2.5 lakhs and Rs.5 lakhs 5% 5% of your taxable income
Between Rs.5 lakhs and Rs.10 lakhs 20% Rs.12,500+ 20% of income above Rs.5
lakhs
Above 10 lakhs 30% Rs.1,12,500+ 30% of income above Rs.10
lakhs

This is the income tax slab for FY 2017-18 for taxpayers under 60 years. There are two other tax slabs
for two other age groups: those who are 60 and older and those who are above 80.

A word of note: People often misunderstand that if they earn let’s say Rs.12 lakhs, they will be paying
a 30% tax on Rs.12 lakhs i.e. Rs.3, 60,000. That’s incorrect. A person earning 12 lakhs in the
progressive tax system, will pay Rs.1, 12,500+ Rs.60, 000 = Rs.1, 72,500.

Exceptions to the Tax Slab


One must bear in mind that not all income can be taxed on slab basis. Capital gains income is an
exception to this rule. Capital gains are taxed depending on the asset you own and how long you’ve
had it. The holding period would determine if an asset is long term or short term. The holding period
to determine nature of asset also differs for different assets. A quick glance of holding periods, nature
of asset and the rate of tax for each of them is given below.

Income Tax Return (ITR)


A tax return is defined as a form or different types of forms filed with a taxing authority which reports
income, expenses, and other pertinent tax information. Tax returns make it simple for taxpayers to
calculate their tax liability, schedule tax payments and request refunds for the overpayment of taxes.
All taxpayers who are filing their income tax returns are required to determine the type of income tax
return (ITR) form they need to fill before actually filing their returns. The form to be filled is solely
dependent on the income that the taxpayer earns or in certain cases if the taxpayer holds assets in a
country other than India or earns any form of income from a country other than India.

E-Filing of Income Tax Returns:


What is E-Filing?
As per section 139(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in the country, individuals whose total income
during the previous year exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax, should file their income
tax returns (ITR).The process of electronically filing income tax returns is known as e-filing. The
filing of returns can be done in two ways – one is the conventional offline route which requires you to
visit the office of the Income Tax Department and doing it manually, and the other is to file the returns
on the internet. E-filing has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years thanks to advancements in
technology. E-filing is also relatively easier in comparison with offline filing as it doesn’t involve
tedious paperwork and can be done from the comfort of your home.

Types of e-Filing:
 Use Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to e-file. It is mandatory to file IT forms using
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) by a chartered accountant.
 If you e-file without DSC, ITR V form is generated, which should then be printed, signed and
submitted to CPC, Bangalore by ordinary post or speed post within 120 days from the date of
e-filing.
 You can file e-file IT returns through an E-return Intermediary (ERI) with or without DSC.

Who should e-file income tax returns?


Online filing of tax returns is easy and can be done by most assessees.

 Assessee with a total income of Rs.5 Lakhs and above.


 Individual/HUF resident with assets located outside India.
 An assessee required to furnish a report of audit specified under sections 10(23C) (IV),
10(23C) (v), 10(23C) (VI), 10(23C) (via), 10A, 12A (1) (b), 44AB, 80IA, 80IB, 80IC, 80ID,
80JJAA, 80LA, 92E or 115JB of the Act.
 Assessee required to give a notice under Section 11(2) (a) to the assessing officer.
 A firm (which does not come under the provisions of section 44AB), AOP, BOI, Artificial
Juridical Person, Cooperative Society and Local Authority (ITR 5).
 An assessee required to furnish returns U/S 139 (4B) (ITR 7).
 A resident who has signing authority in any account located outside India.
 A person who claims relief under sections 90 or 90A or deductions under section 91.
 All companies.

Benefits of E-Filing
E-filing is preferred to offline filing among a large number of taxpayers in India. Here are some of the
major benefits of filing your income tax returns electronically:

 Quick Processing: When you file your returns online, they will be acknowledged promptly by
the Income Tax Department. One of the major benefits of e-filing is that if there are any
refunds, they will be processed much quicker in comparison with returns that are filed on
paper.

P a g e | 14

 Convenient: You can file your returns anytime, anywhere, as long as you have a mobile
device or a laptop and an internet connection. The e-filing facility is open 24/7, making it a
way more convenient option in comparison with manual filing of returns.
 Accuracy: The software created for the e-filing of returns comes with built-in electronic
connectivity and validations that make it seamless. The software also reduces errors to a
considerable extent. Since filing your returns manually can leave the door open to human
errors, electronic filing of returns can ensure that there are no manual errors.
 Confidentiality: Filing your returns on paper has the potential for your details to get leaked.
Online filing of returns, however, is much safer in comparison with manual filing as your data
will not be accessible by chance or design.
 Easy to Use: The e-filing portal has been designed in a manner such that it is really easy to
file your returns. There are detailed instructions that you can follow to ensure that the process
is completed in a smooth and hassle-free manner.
 Proof of Receipt: Filing your income tax returns online will mean that the confirmation will
be sent to you promptly through email on your registered email address. Since the process is
automated, there will be no wastage of time in getting your confirmation.
 Electronic Banking: In case any refunds are due to you, they will be directly deposited to your
bank account. In case you have any tax payments to make, they too will be directly debited
from your bank account. You also have the choice to file your returns now and pay the taxes
later. You can accordingly choose to instruct your bank account and enjoy the convenience
offered by the facility.
 Accessibility: All the information regarding your past data can be accessed with relative ease
when you file your returns online. The applications ensure that the data has been stored
securely, so that it is easy for individuals to access it when filing their returns again.

CHAPTER 2 : COMPANY PROFILE


A firm is a business organization—such as a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or
partnership—that sells goods or services to make a profit. While most firms have just one location, a
single firm can consist of one or more physical establishments, as long as they fall under the same
ownership and utilize the same Employer Identification Number (EIN). When used in a title, "firm" is
typically associated with businesses that practice law, but the term may be used for a wide variety of
businesses including accounting, consulting, and graphic design firms. "Firm" is often used
interchangeably with business, company, or enterprise.

Firms Differ by Type of Ownership:


A firm's business activities are typically conducted under the firm's name, but the degree of legal
protection—for employees or owners—depends on the type of ownership structure under which the
firm was created. Some organization types, such as corporations, provide more legal protection than
others. Firms can assume a number of different types based on their ownership structures:

 One type of firm is a sole proprietorship or sole trader. A sole proprietorship is owned by one
person, who is liable for all costs and obligations, and owns all assets.
 A partnership is a business owned by two or more people; there is no limit to the number of
partners that can have a stake in ownership. A partnership's owners each are liable for all
business obligations, and together they own everything that belongs to the business.
 In a corporation, the businesses' financials are separate from the owners' personal financials.
Owners of a corporation are not liable for any costs, lawsuits, or other obligations of the
business. A corporation may be owned by individuals or by a government. Though business
entities, corporations can function similarly to individuals; for example, they may take out

AUDITORS ROLE IN THE FIRM:

The outside, independent auditor is engaged to render an opinion on whether a company’s financial
statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with financial reporting
framework. The audit provides users such as lenders and investors with an enhanced degree of
confidence in the financial statements. An audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and relevant
ethical requirements enables the auditor to form that opinion.

compares and confirms until gaining reasonable assurance. The auditor then forms an opinion of
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Some of the more important auditing procedures include:

 Inquiring of management and others to gain an understanding of the organization itself, its
operations, financial reporting, and known fraud or error
 Evaluating and understanding the internal control system
 Performing analytical procedures on expected or unexpected variances in account balances or
classes of transactions

imaginative solutions that work. Good communications and a holistic approach involves with frequent
workshops.

The Firm is also specialised in GST return filing:


Filing GST return under the GST regime is crucial as non-compliance and delay will result in
penalties and affect your compliance rating and timely refunds.

A return is a document containing details of income which a taxpayer is required to file with the tax
administrative authorities. This is used by tax authorities to calculate tax liability.

Under GST, a registered dealer has to file GST returns that include:

 Purchases
 Sales
 Output GST (On sales)
 Input tax credit (GST paid on purchases)

To file GST returns, GST compliant sales and purchase invoices are required.

In the GST regime, any regular business has to file two monthly returns and one annual return. This
amount to 26 returns in a year. The beauty of the system is that one has to manually enter details of
one monthly return – GSTR-1. The other returns GSTR 3B will get auto-populated by deriving
information from GSTR-1 filed by you and your vendors. There are separate returns required to be
filed by special cases such as composition dealers.

Late Fees for not Filing Return on Time:

If GST Returns are not filed within time, you will be liable to pay interest and a late fee.

Interest is 18% per annum. It has to be calculated by the taxpayer on the amount of outstanding tax to
be paid. The time period will be from the next day of filing to the date of payment.

Late fees is Rs.100 per day per Act. So it is 100 under CGST & 100 under SGST. Total will be
Rs.200/day. Maximum is Rs.5,000. There is no late fee on IGST.

Chapter 3: LITERATURE REVIEW


A literature review or narrative review is a type of review article. A literature review is a scholarly
paper, which includes the current knowledge including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and
methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and do
not report new or original experimental work. Most often associated with academic-oriented
literature, such reviews are found in academic journals, and are not to be confused with book reviews
that may also appear in the same publication. Literature reviews are a basis for research in nearly
every academic field. A narrow-scope literature review may be included as part of a peer-reviewed
journal article presenting new research, serving to situate the current study within the body of the
relevant literature and to provide context for the reader. In such a case, the review usually precedes the
methodology and results sections of the work.

To find-out the gap in the literature, the following review of earlier works been done and summarized
as below:

 Anna A. CheAzmi and YusnizaKamarulzman, (2000),”Adoption of Tax E-filing: A


conceptual paper”, in their contribution towards providing useful input on the adoption and
evaluation of the E-filing system by users. It is predicted that many of these risks facts will be
significant. Among the risks that could possibly be significant are performance risk,
psychological risk, time risk and privacy risk. This study aims to the relationship of
perceptions of risk and its facts within the Technology Acceptance Modal with the tax E-filing
context.

 Yi-shun Wang, (2002), “The Adoption of Electronic Tax Filing Systems: An Empirical
Study”. He explained that the benefits, treads and highlights (ITRs) of E-filing among the
residents of the country. E-filing Income tax return using internet is a gift to a tax payers.
Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework, this study
introduces ‘perceived credibility’ as a new factor that reflects use of E-tax filing system.

 Dr.Sujeet Kumar Sharma, Dr.RajanYadav, (2011), “An Empirical Study on Tax Payer’s
Attitude towards E-return Filing in India”, in their opinion that study employed factor
analysis and multiple regression analysis to understand tax payers’ attitude towards E-filing.
The study found that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived credibility and
computer awareness significantly influence the customer’s acceptance of E-filing.

 Geetha R. and Sekar M. (2012),”E-filing of IncomeTax: Awareness and Satisfaction level of


Individual Tax Payers in Coimbatore city, India”, This study reveals that the existing users are
satisfied with the E-filing facilities but most of the individual tax payers are not awareness of
the E-filing and E-payment procedures so sufficient steps are required to create more
awareness in the mind of tax payers regarding E-filing of Income tax.

 Meenu Gupta, (2012), she analysed that the acceptance of E-filing of Tax Returns is much
better than traditional system of paying Income tax. The benefits of E-filing heads up the
importance of technological advancement.

 BrahmbhattMamta, (2012),”Tax Payers Perception towards E-file Adoption: Empirical


Investigation”, this study attempts to develop an understanding of the factors that influence
citizens adoption of electronic tax filing services and to discuss taxpayer perception and
satisfaction with an online system for filling individual Income tax return.

 Mukesh Kumar and Mohammed Anees (2014),”E-filing Creating New Revolution in


Taxation of India”, in their opinion that changing scenario in Income tax due to
implementation of E-filing. India is in the phase of revolutionary changes in information
technology which also gives great advancement in E-filing field of Income tax department.

 Dr.Samir MazidbhaiVohra, (2015) “E-filing; New Revolution in Taxation of India”.


Analysed that the Income tax department has introduced E-filing of Income tax returns to
make the filing process easier for tax payers which will result into reduction of time and paper
work. India is in the phase of revolutionary changes in information technology which
ultimately gives more encouragement in E-filing of Income tax return. The study shows that
the E-filing is the new effective method of filing Income tax return through online and make
E-payment of tax.

 JyothiArora, (2016), “E-filing of Income Tax Return in India”, he analysed in this study,
deals with the benefits, process, trends and highlights (ITRs) of E-filing among the residents
of country. In the current world new information technology is being introduced very fast in
all fields. Due to the facet of time, researchers could not review more articles and books, but
with the available literature, they found that a very few works have been done on the area of
this topic earlier, hence, it’s a small effort is put in to fill-up the literature gap.

CHAPTER 7: FINDING AND ANALYSIS

E-Filing survey: 80% use I-T department's free facility for filing returns

Over 70% feel satisfied with free e-filing facility provided by the Income Tax
department. However, only half are using tax calculators to verify.
 Our online survey on “Do you e-file of your tax returns” received 688 responses. At first
glance, the survey shows that an overwhelming 65% are doing their own e-filing, while 26%
are using the services of a tax advisor or a chartered accountant (CA). Only 13% are using
paid e-filing sites when compared to nearly 80% using I-T department’s free e-filing website.

 Over 70% of the respondents, who have used free e-filing feel that it is easy or somewhat
easy. It means I-T department e-filing services have come a long way and still dominate, even
though paid e-filing services claim to provide easy filing and better support. Six out of 10
respondents who have used paid e-filing are also satisfied and hence e-filing services are
providing value for the charges. Those who file by visiting the I-T office to submit should
consider e-filing for convenience and ease.

 A good 87% claim to understand the calculations in tax returns. But, only one in two
respondents have used online or offline tax calculator to verify tax computation. Tax
calculators do help to catch any error in your tax returns preparation before it is e-filed.

 Two out of 10 respondents have not looked at Form 26AS before filing tax returns. This is a
matter of concern as you are overlooking the critical information that can even help to reduce
taxes. For example, you may have missed the credits for TDS. On the other hand, the I-T
department will catch you, if you failed to report the bank interest for which TDS was
deducted.

 Over 78% have easily got Form 16/16A from employer and banks, which means the process
is now smooth. Only 44% out of those who were eligible for refund have received it within
six months of tax filing. It means the majority of consumers are still struggling to get their tax
refund even after six months delay. Nearly eight out of 10 respondents who were required to
pay taxes found e-tax payment easy. It means you don’t have to visit banks to pay taxes. Tax
payers are doing it online.

7.1 CONCLUSION:
In the present world, new technologies are introduced and improved very fast in all fields. Now new
technology is gifted to tax payers for filing their income tax returns through online i.e. through e-
filing. The e-filing is the new effective method of filing income tax return through online and make e-
payment tax. It saves time, energy and cost and also reduces tension. So the tax– payers are requested
to use e-filing and e payment facilities. This study reveals that the existing users are satisfied with the
e-filing facilities but most of the individual tax payers are not aware of the e-filing and e-payment
procedures. Therefore through this research adequate steps to create more awareness in the minds of
tax payers regarding e-filing of income tax are provided. This study is carried out to determine the tax
payer’s perception towards e-filing of income tax returns. One of the main challenges in e-filing is the
risk of security. As individual tax payers are the most important end users, sufficient understanding of
tax payers acceptance and usage of e-filing system should be made to reduce the risk of user rejection,
preventive and predictive measures ought to be taken on a timely basis to ensure further acceptance
among the non-users of e-filing.

7.2 SUGGESTION:

• It is suggested that the income tax department can give information about e-filing through
media and Newspapers because only 4% of respondents know about e filing through Media.

• From the above study it is found that there has been extensive advertisement in national
newspaper. It is suggested that it can extended to local newspapers and also using radio stations and
local channels through local languages.

• It is suggested that the awareness can be increased by organizing awareness programs in


office/workplaces for the tax payers so that they are aware about e filing and file their income tax
returns easily by saving their cost and time.

• The researcher also intends to suggest to the income tax department upgrade its technologies
in e-filing of returns(e-filing website) because many respondents find reasons for their unsuccessful
attempt for e filing their income tax returns like e filing website not responding half way etc.

• Knowledge about convenience of e-filing should be given to those who do not have any
motivation towards e-filing.

• Campaigns on e-filing should be taken up in certain places, so that all are aware of its
flexibility.

• Awareness towards correct ITR forms should be given to the tax payers.
