For the financial year 2006-07 (Asstt. year 2007-08), all non-corporate taxpayers, salaried persons, pensioners, professionals/self employed taxpayers with turnover below the tax audit limits have to file returns by July 31.
For those having difficulty in filling up the new ITR forms, the Government has adviced to take asistance of Tax return preparors, the details of the which can be obtained from www.trpscheme.com.
The Finance Ministry rejected media reports saying that TRPs are awaiting further permission from the Government to start their work. As soon as a certified TRP receives a unique identity card from NIIT (training partner), he/she is entitled to file income tax returns on behalf of taxpayers.
The new tax return forms already contain provision seeking information about the TRP filing that return.

New ITR forms are too complicated and ITR2,the
say no supporting documents to be attached. AT the same time they say use additional paper if
more than two houses are held for receipt of
rent /income from the properties. It appears
Saral D is no more in use. For individuals
having pension,interest capital gains - which
is the ideal ITR form and can I enclose original
TDS certificaates (as my refund is nearly 12000)
being the tax deducted by Bank in Sr.citizen
Savving Scheme of five years. I shall be obliged
to have clarification.
