TAXATION
Taxation
Including the live transition to the Income Tax Act, 2025 — new section numbers, new forms, same rates, handled correctly either way.
↳Income Tax Return (ITR) Filing
Annual return filing for individuals, directors, and companies — accurate, on time, and cross-checked against your GST and TDS data.
Eligibility & must-know
Eligibility
- Mandatory annual filing for every company and LLP, regardless of income or activity
- Individuals above the basic exemption limit, or meeting other statutory conditions
Must Know
- FY 2025-26 returns are still filed under the old Income Tax Act, 1961 — the new Act only applies from Tax Year 2026-27
- Non-audit business/professional filers (ITR-3/ITR-4) now have until 31 August, extended from 31 July
- "Assessment Year" is being replaced by a single "Tax Year" concept from FY 2026-27 onward
↳TDS/TCS Compliance & Return Filing
Quarterly TDS and TCS return filing, challan reconciliation, and certificate issuance — updated for the new Income Tax Act's section and form renumbering.
Eligibility & must-know
Eligibility
- Any business deducting TDS on salary, rent, professional fees, or contractor payments
Must Know
- All TDS sections are now consolidated into Section 392 (salary) and Section 393 (everything else)
- Forms are renamed: Form 24Q → Form 138, Form 26Q → Form 140, Form 16 → Form 130
- Rates are unchanged — using old section numbers on new-period filings causes validation errors, not a rate mismatch
- Late filing fee remains ₹200/day, capped at the TDS amount for that quarter
↳Advance Tax Computation & Tax Planning
Quarterly advance tax calculation and a regime review each year — old vs. new tax regime, so you're never paying more than you need to.
Eligibility & must-know
Eligibility
- Applies to anyone with tax liability above ₹10,000 for the year, after TDS
Must Know
- Standard schedule: 15% by 15 June, 45% by 15 Sept, 75% by 15 Dec, 100% by 15 March
- The new tax regime is now the default — you must actively opt out to use the old regime
- Interest under Sections 234B/234C applies on shortfalls — worth reviewing each quarter, not just at year-end
PAYROLL
Payroll Management
Salary structuring, PF, and ESIC — done in line with the Code on Social Security's wage definition, so nothing surfaces as an arrear during an inspection.
↳Payroll Processing & Compliance
Monthly salary processing, payslips, and a wage structure that holds up under the Code on Social Security's new definition of "wages."
Eligibility & must-know
Eligibility
- Any business with employees on its payroll, regardless of headcount
Must Know
- Under the new labour codes, Basic + DA must be at least 50% of total CTC — the excess above that is added back as "wages"
- Calculating PF/ESI on basic salary alone instead of full wages is the single most common — and expensive — payroll error
- Fixed-term employees are now eligible for gratuity after just 1 year, down from 5
↳PF (EPFO) Registration & Return Filing
Provident Fund registration, monthly ECR filing, and contribution management — kept current with EPFO's faster digital processing rules.
Eligibility & must-know
Eligibility
- Mandatory once an establishment has 20 or more employees
- Current wage ceiling for contribution: ₹15,000/month (12% employer + 12% employee)
Must Know
- The ₹15,000 ceiling is under active review — the Supreme Court directed EPFO to revisit it in January 2026
- Under EPFO 3.0, employers must now file returns within 15 days, and auto-settlement limits rose to ₹5 lakh
- Pension claims must now be settled within 20 days or 12% annual interest applies
↳ESIC Registration & Return Filing
Employee State Insurance registration, half-yearly return filing, and eligibility audits — including contract and part-time worker coverage.
Eligibility & must-know
Eligibility
- Mandatory at 10 or more employees in most states (20 in a few)
- Covers employees earning up to ₹21,000/month gross (₹25,000 for employees with disabilities)
Must Know
- The 10-employee count includes contract, part-time, and probationary workers — not just permanent staff
- Contribution: 3.25% employer + 0.75% employee, deposited by the 15th of the following month
- Coverage continues even if headcount later drops below 10 — a detail that trips up businesses that scale down
