How to File ITR Online — 7 Steps

1

Collect All Documents

Form 16 from employer, PAN card, Aadhar card, bank statements for all accounts, investment proof (PPF, LIC, ELSS receipts), home loan interest certificate, rent receipts for HRA.

2

Download Form 26AS and AIS

Login to incometax.gov.in → My Account → View Form 26AS. Also check AIS (Annual Information Statement). All TDS deducted by employer and banks will be shown here. Your ITR must match these.

3

Choose the Correct ITR Form

ITR-1 for salaried up to ₹50 lakh. ITR-2 for capital gains. ITR-3 for business. ITR-4 for presumptive business (44AD). Wrong form = defective return notice from IT department.

4

Login to Income Tax Portal

Go to incometax.gov.in → Login with PAN as user ID. First time? Register with PAN, Aadhar, and mobile number. Use e-Filing portal — not any third party website.

5

Fill ITR Form Online

Go to e-File → Income Tax Returns → File Income Tax Return. Select AY 2025-26. Fill salary from Form 16, deductions (80C up to ₹1.5L, 80D up to ₹25,000), TDS from 26AS. Tax is auto-calculated.

6

Pay Tax if Any Due

If tax payable after TDS, pay as Self Assessment Tax (SAT) using Challan 280 before submitting ITR. Keep BSR code and challan number to enter in ITR form.

7

E-Verify Your ITR

Submit ITR → E-verify within 30 days. Use Aadhar OTP (fastest), Net Banking, Bank ATM, or Demat account. Without e-verification, ITR is invalid even if submitted.
