Direct Tax Compliances
The provisions of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961 (the “Act”) govern income tax in India. The Act operates on the self-assessment principle, which requires every person receiving income or any amount to compute their total income under five categories of income—salaries, income from real estate, income from businesses or professions, capital gains, and income from other sources—and to pay their taxes prior to filing an income tax return. Additionally, the payer of the income must adhere to specific compliances, such as those that are related to TDS/WHT. The Act contains an internal system to guarantee correct and prompt compliance. The Act allows for the imposition of interest, a fine, and legal action based on the scope and kind of failures. Every person must generally comply with the following obligations within the allotted time:
- The submission of a self-assessed income tax return using ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4, ITR-5, ITR-6, and ITR-7 forms.
- Advance tax payment, TDS/WHT reporting on Forms 24Q and 26Q, and payment of advance tax are all required.
