Income Tax Return Filing, TDS & Notice Reply Services
Returns filed by chartered accountants, regimes chosen on math, notices answered with workings — and planning that happens before March, when it still counts.
Income tax work splits into four lanes: the annual return (due 31 July for most individuals, 31 August for ITR-3 and ITR-4 filers without audit), withholding compliance (TDS) for anyone paying salaries or contractors, responses when the department writes to you, and planning — the lane that actually changes what you pay.
FilingBase covers all four with CA-led services: ITRs from ₹499 with an old-vs-new regime comparison on every single return, quarterly TDS filings, a notice desk that answers 143(1)s to 148s with proper workings, and NRI-specialist handling for DTAA relief and foreign-asset disclosure.
Every income-tax situation, covered.

Most people meet their taxes once a year, in a rush, after the facts are frozen. By then every decision that mattered — regime, salary structure, capital-gains timing, advance tax — was made months earlier by default. The result is systematic overpayment that a portal upload can’t fix, because the return only reports the past.
The fix is sequencing: plan between April and December while income can still be structured, let TDS track reality instead of over-withholding, then let the return be a formality. Employers and businesses run the same logic on the payables side with clean TDS filings — most demand notices we see are ₹200/day fees on late TDS statements, pure own-goals.
And when the department writes — an adjustment under 143(1), a defective-return 139(9), or a reassessment 148 — deadlines are short and silence is expensive. The notice desk exists so those letters get answered with computations, not panic.
Common questions
Old regime or new regime — what are you seeing in practice?
The new regime wins for most filers without big deductions — effectively zero tax up to ₹12 lakh after the 87A rebate. The old regime still wins for heavy deduction stacks (home loan + 80C + HRA + 80D). We run both computations on every return; the answer changes year to year as your numbers change.
Do NRIs need to file in India?
If India-source income (rent, capital gains, interest, salary earned in India) exceeds the exemption limit — yes. Even below it, filing recovers TDS on NRO interest and property sales. DTAA relief and Schedule FA disclosure are where NRI returns need a specialist rather than a portal.
I received a notice. How bad is it?
Usually less bad than it reads. Most are 143(1) auto-adjustments or AIS mismatches resolvable with a reconciliation and a timely response. The genuinely serious ones (148 reassessments) need strategy, not templates — which is exactly what a CA-drafted reply with workings provides. Send it to us before the deadline, whatever it is.
March is when tax is decided. July is just when it’s reported.
