A defective notice under Section 139(9) is issued when the Income Tax Department identifies discrepancies or errors in the filed tax return.

Section 45(5A) of the Income Tax Act describes how income resulting from this special arrangement is ta

ITR filing deadlines for FY 2025–26 (AY 2026–27) are no longer the same for every taxpayer. The due date depends on the type of income earned, the ITR form used, and whether the accounts require a tax audit. In simple terms, most salaried individuals must file by July 31, business owners without an audit get time until August 31, and audit cases move to October 31. Choosing the correct deadline is important because filing late can lead to penalties, interest, and even delays

Accurate tax reporting forms the backbone of smooth income tax return (ITR) filing. Among the key documents, Form 16 stands out as an essential certificate issued by employers that details salary income and the tax deducted at source (TDS). This certificate serves as a verified proof of the income earned and taxes paid during the financial year. Proper use of Form 16 during ITR filing significantly reduces errors and discrepancies that often trigger income tax notices from th

Income tax return filing for the financial year 2025–26 follows a structured timeline based on the type of taxpayer and the complexity of income. Each category, whether salaried individuals, professionals, businesses, or entities involved in international transactions, is assigned a specific due date to ensure smooth compliance. These deadlines are not uniform and vary depending on factors such as audit requirements, nature of income, and reporting obligations. Timely filing

Technology platforms today are no longer operating independently. Financial ecosystems that once focused on solving only one use case are gradually becoming more connected through APIs, SDKs, and embedded infrastructure. Payment apps now support lending. Banking apps support investing. HR platforms support financial wellness. Across fintech, platforms are increasingly trying to reduce friction between connected financial activities instead of forcing users into disconnected j
