How is it possible that online return is must when 70% of villagers not known how to e-file, they r now just know how to operate mobile not income tax software in online mode or based,
Subrata, It is correct that most of the people don’t possess the knowledge of operating computer and filing tax return.
It is advisable to hire a consultant ,a Chartered Accountant or a TRP.
They possess knowledge and experience to guide in best way. People who tend to file returns even manually , make mistake leading to queries from income tax department.
Hi,
If an individual is a shareholder, Which ITR form should he use?

Holding shares of any income doesnot require you to file income tax return. it is mandatory to file tax return if income is above taxable limit.
