Income Tax Return Filing in Pune

Expert-prepared ITRs for salaried professionals, freelancers, business owners and property sellers in Pune

ITR Filing for Pune Taxpayers

A large share of Pune's taxpayers are salaried professionals in IT, engineering and manufacturing. Their returns look simple but often are not: RSUs and ESOPs from foreign parent companies, job changes mid-year with two Form 16s, rent paid in Hinjewadi or Kharadi, a flat sold in Kothrud or bought under construction in Wakad. Small mistakes in these areas are what trigger mismatch notices.

CompanyFX prepares your return after reconciling Form 16, AIS and Form 26AS, compares the old and new regimes, and files only once you have reviewed the computation.

Who We File For

  • Salaried employees: Form 16 from one or more employers, HRA, home loan interest and regime comparison
  • RSU and ESOP holders: perquisite tax at vesting or exercise, capital gains on sale, Schedule FA and foreign tax credit
  • Freelancers and consultants: presumptive taxation under Section 44ADA, advance tax and GST interplay
  • Business owners: ITR-3 or ITR-4, books of accounts and tax audit coordination
  • Investors and property sellers: capital gains on shares, mutual funds and real estate
  • NRIs with Pune property: rental income, sale of property and claiming refunds of TDS

Documents to Keep Ready

  • PAN, Aadhaar and bank account details
  • Form 16 from every employer during the year
  • Interest certificates, capital gains statements and broker P&L
  • RSU or ESOP vesting and sale statements, if any
  • Rent receipts, home loan interest certificate and investment proofs if you choose the old regime

Our Process

  1. You share documents online; we pull your AIS and Form 26AS.
  2. We reconcile everything and compute tax under both regimes.
  3. You review the computation and approve it.
  4. We file the return and help you e-verify it with Aadhaar OTP.
  5. If a notice arrives later, we handle the response online.

Common Mistakes We Fix

  • Interest from savings accounts and FDs left out, which shows up in AIS
  • Standard deduction or HRA claimed twice after a job change
  • Foreign RSUs not disclosed in Schedule FA
  • Tax-saving deductions claimed under the new regime, where they are not allowed

Frequently Asked Questions

I work for an MNC in Pune and hold RSUs of the US parent. What must I report?

If you are a resident, shares and RSUs held abroad must be disclosed in Schedule FA (foreign assets) of your ITR, even if you have not sold them. Dividends and sale proceeds are taxable in India, and tax withheld in the US can usually be claimed as a foreign tax credit by filing Form 67 before the return. Missing Schedule FA can attract a penalty of ₹10 lakh under the Black Money Act.

Should I choose the old or the new tax regime?

The new regime is the default and, from FY 2025-26, makes taxable income up to ₹12 lakh effectively tax-free after rebate (₹12.75 lakh for salaried taxpayers with the standard deduction). The old regime can still work out better if you have large deductions such as a home loan, HRA, 80C and 80D. We calculate both before filing.

What is the due date for filing ITR?

For individuals whose accounts are not audited, the normal due date is 31 July after the end of the financial year. Audited cases have later due dates. The government sometimes extends these dates, and filing late attracts a late fee and interest on unpaid tax.

How is the sale of a flat in Pune taxed?

If you held the property for more than 24 months, the gain is long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation. For property bought before 23 July 2024, resident individuals can choose 20% with indexation if that is lower. Reinvesting in another house (Section 54) or specified bonds (Section 54EC) can reduce or remove the tax.

I am a freelancer in Pune. Can I use presumptive taxation?

Professionals such as software consultants, designers and architects can opt for Section 44ADA if gross receipts are up to ₹50 lakh (₹75 lakh if cash receipts are no more than 5%). You then declare 50% of receipts as income and do not need to maintain detailed books.

Do I need to visit the income tax office in Pune for a notice?

Usually not. Most notices and assessments are now handled through the faceless system on the e-filing portal. We draft and submit replies online on your behalf.
