Income Tax Return Filing in Mumbai

Accurate ITRs for investors, F&O traders, salaried professionals, landlords and NRIs with income from Mumbai

ITR Filing for Mumbai Taxpayers

Mumbai taxpayers have more moving parts in their returns than almost anywhere else in India. Many invest actively in shares and trade F&O through Mumbai's brokerages, rent out a flat in the suburbs, receive bonuses with complex salary structures, or are NRIs holding property in the city. Each of these has its own reporting rules, and the income tax department sees almost all of it through AIS.

CompanyFX reconciles your broker statements, AIS and Form 26AS, chooses the right ITR form and tax regime, and files only after you approve the computation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is F&O trading income taxed?

Futures and options trading is treated as non-speculative business income and is reported in ITR-3, not as capital gains. Losses can be set off against other business income and carried forward for eight years if the return is filed on time. A tax audit may apply depending on your turnover and profit, so we calculate turnover the way the tax rules require before filing.

What are the tax rates on shares and equity mutual funds?

For listed shares and equity funds sold on or after 23 July 2024, short-term gains (held up to 12 months) are taxed at 20%. Long-term gains are taxed at 12.5% on the amount above ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year.

How is rental income from a Mumbai flat taxed?

Municipal property tax actually paid is deducted from the rent, then a flat 30% standard deduction is allowed on the balance. Interest on a home loan for the let-out property is also deductible. The net amount is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate.

I am an NRI selling a flat in Mumbai. Why was so much TDS deducted?

Buyers must deduct TDS on the sale consideration paid to an NRI at the rate applicable to capital gains plus surcharge and cess, which is often far more than the actual tax. You can apply for a lower deduction certificate (Form 13) before the sale, or claim the excess back as a refund by filing your ITR.

Do I need to visit Aayakar Bhavan for an income tax notice?

Usually not. Most notices and assessments are handled through the faceless system on the e-filing portal. We review the notice, draft the response and file it online for you.

Which ITR form should I use?

ITR-1 is for resident individuals with salary, one house property and interest up to ₹50 lakh. ITR-2 is for capital gains or more than one house property. ITR-3 is for business or professional income, including F&O. ITR-4 is for presumptive income. Using the wrong form leads to a defective return notice.
