Information only, not advice
The content on this website, including service descriptions, FAQs and checklists, is general information. It is not tax, legal or financial advice, and it may not cover your particular situation. Tax law, rates, forms and due dates change often, and the Income-tax Act, 2025 replaces the Income-tax Act, 1961 from 1 April 2026, which changes many section numbers and terms. Always check the current position on the official portals or with a qualified professional before acting.
Calculators give estimates
The calculators on this site give estimates for information only. They are based on the rules for the year shown on each calculator, and on the figures you enter. They do not take every rule, exception or recent change into account. Your actual tax, interest or liability depends on your full facts and the law in force, and may differ from the estimate. Don’t file a return or make a payment based only on a calculator result.
