Why file with an e-CA instead of doing it yourself?

  • You won’t pick the wrong form. ITR-1, 2, 3 or 4 — your e-CA selects the correct one for your income mix.
  • You won’t miss deductions. 80C, 80D, HRA, home-loan interest, NPS and more are claimed correctly.
  • Capital gains are handled properly. Shares, mutual funds, crypto and property are computed the right way.
  • Notices are avoided. Accurate, reconciled returns reduce the chance of a mismatch notice.
  • It’s faster than you think. Most of your time is just uploading documents.

Step-by-step: filing your ITR online with an e-CA

  1. Choose the filing plan. Go to e-CA assisted ITR filing and pick a plan from ₹999 per return.
  2. Sign in and open your dashboard. After payment, an Expert Panel tab opens your filing dashboard.
  3. Upload your documents to the secure vault. Form 16, bank/broker statements, rent receipts, investment proofs and any prior notices.
  4. Chat with your assigned e-CA. Answer a few questions; your Chartered Accountant clarifies anything unclear in real time.
  5. Review the computation. Your e-CA shares the draft computation and the expected refund or payable.
  6. Approve and file. Once you confirm, your e-CA files the return and shares the acknowledgement.
