Your filed return, explained without tax-form jargon

A submitted ITR PDF contains the answer to what was filed, but important totals are spread across dozens of pages and schedules. The ITR Reader brings those printed values into one structured view.

See the filing section and tax regime, income heads, Chapter VI-A deductions, tax computation, TDS and other taxes paid, bank account details, refund or demand, and only the family-specific schedules that are active in the return.

How can I understand what was actually filed in my income tax return?

Use the official filed ITR PDF, not a draft computation. TaxFetch identifies ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3 or ITR-4 and explains the printed filing details, income heads, deductions, tax, taxes paid, refund or demand, bank details and active schedules without changing the return or comparing hypothetical regimes.

ITR forms separate the final computation from detailed schedules, so important declarations may be spread across dozens of pages. · Source: Income Tax Department, Government of India

What the ITR Reader explains by return family

ITR-2Capital gains, losses, exempt income and foreign disclosures
ITR-3Business or profession, VDA, gaming and detailed schedules

Always review the filed PDF itself after submission. The acknowledgement confirms filing, but the full return shows the income, schedules and declarations that were actually submitted.— CA Juber Attar, TaxFetch e-CA Tax Expert

Loved by taxpayers across India

Real people who got things done faster with ITR Reader.

★★★★★
My ITR-2 was nearly forty pages. The reader showed my capital gains, deductions and refund in one clear view.
RMRohan MehtaInvestor, Mumbai✔ Verified
★★★★★
I could finally understand how the TDS in my return became the refund shown at the end. Very easy to follow.
AIAnanya IyerSalaried, Bengaluru✔ Verified
★★★★★
The business and presumptive sections from my ITR-4 were separated properly instead of giving me another wall of tax-form text.
VSVivek SharmaSmall business owner, Jaipur✔ Verified
★★★★★
It picked up the VDA schedule in my ITR-3 and kept the PAN and bank account masked. That privacy detail matters.
KPKaran PatelConsultant, Ahmedabad✔ Verified
★★★★★
I uploaded two years together and switched between both returns before downloading the Excel summaries for my records.
