One PDF in. One filed ITR out.

Yes. Enter the password at upload — it is usually your PAN in a specified format — and extraction proceeds normally. The file is decrypted only to read the figures and is then stored encrypted on our side. Password protection is standard for Form 16, so the flow is built to handle it seamlessly.

From Part A: your employer’s name and TAN and the quarter-by-quarter TDS deposited against your PAN. From Part B: your full salary breakup, exemptions and every Chapter VI-A deduction. Together that is essentially everything needed to prefill a salaried return, which is why there is nothing left to type from the PDF.

It is exactly the case this is built for. Upload both and they are consolidated, your tax slab is recomputed on the combined income, the double-counted standard deduction is removed, and any resulting shortfall is shown before you file. Filing two employers separately is a common way people accidentally under-pay and later get a notice.

It is stored encrypted so you can retrieve your records later, used only to prepare your return, and never shared or used for anything else. You can delete it from your account at any time. All of this is handled in line with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act.

Every extracted figure is shown for your confirmation before filing, side by side with the source Form 16, so you can edit anything inline. And if your return turns out to need more than Form 16 covers, one tap hands the prefilled draft to an expert who finishes it with you — you never lose what you have entered.

Yes. After the prefill you can add interest income, rental income or other sources in simple steps, so your return is complete even though Form 16 only covers salary. If the extra income is complex — significant capital gains, for instance — you can switch to an expert-assisted filing with everything carried over.

The tool compares the old and new regime on your extracted numbers and shows which leaves more money with you, so you are not guessing. For AY 2026-27 the new regime is the default with lower rates but fewer deductions; if you have strong 80C, 80D and HRA claims the old regime may still win, and the comparison makes that clear.

Most single-employer uploads are ready to file the same day, and many filers finish in under twenty minutes once extraction completes. Confirming the prefilled figures and answering two or three questions is the only manual part. Complex additions take a little longer, and the tool tells you upfront if that applies.

Yes. The file is transmitted securely, decrypted only to read the figures, then stored encrypted and never shared. You control deletion. The built-in 26AS reconciliation adds a second layer of safety by ensuring you file figures that match the department’s records — the main cause of post-filing mismatches — before you submit.

Yes — a return is complete only once e-verified, and the tool guides you through Aadhaar-OTP verification immediately after submission. If you do not e-verify within the allowed window the return is treated as not filed, so we make sure you complete this last step before finishing.
