ITR-1 (Sahaj) is the income tax return form for resident individuals with total income up to ₹50 lakh from salary or pension, one house property, and other sources such as interest income (excluding lottery or racehorse winnings). It does not apply if you have capital gains, business or professional income, income from more than one house property, or foreign income or assets.

You will typically need PAN, Aadhaar, Form 16 from your employer, bank account details and interest certificates, Form 26AS or AIS for tax credit verification, and proof of deductions claimed such as Section 80C investments, health insurance premiums, or home loan interest certificates.

Once your documents are ready, preparing and e-filing an ITR-1 usually takes 1-3 business days. Processing and any refund by the Income Tax Department typically follows within a few weeks, depending on verification and filing-season volumes.

There is no government fee to file ITR-1 within the due date, though late filing can attract a fee under Section 234F. Professional filing assistance is charged as a service fee that varies with the complexity of your income sources and deductions.

You will generally need PAN and Aadhaar of all directors and shareholders, address proof, passport-size photographs, proof of the registered office address (such as a utility bill and rent agreement or NOC), and a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for each director to file the incorporation forms.

Through the MCA's SPICe+ integrated form, incorporation is usually completed within 7-15 working days from submission, depending on name approval, document verification, and government processing times.

Startup India registration (DPIIT recognition) is a certification for eligible Private Limited Companies, LLPs, or Partnership firms working on innovation or improvement of products, services, or processes. It suits entities incorporated within the last 10 years with annual turnover under ₹100 crore, and unlocks tax exemptions, self-certification compliance, and easier access to government schemes.

You will typically need the Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, details of directors or partners, and a brief write-up explaining how your business is innovative, along with any supporting documents such as patents, awards, or funding letters that demonstrate innovation or scalability.

DPIIT recognition is usually granted within a few working days to about two weeks of applying online through the Startup India portal, provided the application and supporting details are complete and accurate.

DPIIT recognition itself is free to apply for on the Startup India portal. Any cost involved is typically for professional assistance in preparing the application, business write-up, and supporting documentation.

Professional Tax is a state-level tax on income earned through employment or a profession, applicable in most (though not all) Indian states. Employers need an Employer Registration Certificate to deduct and deposit tax on behalf of employees, while self-employed professionals need a separate registration to pay it directly.

You will generally need PAN of the business or professional, address proof of the business premises, incorporation documents for companies or LLPs, details of employees and their salary structure, and identity or address proof of the proprietor, partners, or directors.

Registration timelines vary by state but are generally completed within a few days to about two weeks of application, depending on the state government portal and document verification.

Government fees and tax slabs for Professional Tax vary by state, subject to a statutory cap. Professional service fees for handling the registration and ongoing compliance are separate and depend on the number of employees and states involved.

GST return filing is the periodic reporting of sales, purchases, and tax collected or paid, required of every business registered under GST. Depending on turnover and scheme (regular or QRMP), returns such as GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are filed monthly or quarterly, with GSTR-9 filed annually.

You will need your GSTIN, sales and purchase invoices, e-way bills where applicable, input tax credit details from GSTR-2B, and bank statements to reconcile tax payments for the return period.

Once your invoice data and reconciliations are ready, filing a GST return is usually completed within a day. Returns must be filed by their statutory due dates each month or quarter (commonly around the 11th and 20th) to avoid late fees and interest.

There is no government fee to file a GST return by its due date, though late filing attracts late fees and interest on any tax due. Professional filing charges typically depend on your transaction volume and filing frequency (monthly, quarterly, or annual).
