Income tax return filing in Begusarai: what is involved
An income tax return from Begusarai is filed online and verified with an Aadhaar OTP, but what goes into it varies widely. A salaried employee needs Form 16 and the regime comparison; a trader chooses between the presumptive scheme and books; a professional reconciles TDS; a family that sold land needs a capital-gains working. In every case income up to ₹12 lakh carries no tax under the new regime after rebate, apart from income taxed at special rates.
Returns for a financial year are due by 31 July for salaried and other non-business taxpayers, 31 August for business and professional returns without audit, and 31 October where a tax audit applies. From 1 April 2026 the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies and the year is called the “tax year”. Bihar levies professional tax on salaries; the amount your employer deducts is allowed as a deduction under the old regime. For house rent allowance under the old regime, Begusarai falls in the 40%-of-salary category; the 50% limit applies only to eight notified metro cities.

Who files income tax returns in Begusarai
Begusarai’s returns mirror its industry. Employees of the refinery, the fertiliser plant and the power station file with Form 16 that includes township housing and other perquisites. Contractors and transporters have TDS on large receipts and, often, turnover that requires books and a tax audit. Around them are the district’s traders, doctors and farmers. Contractors who have grown quickly are the ones most exposed — to audit limits, to TDS duties on their own payments and to cash-payment disallowances.

Points for each kind of taxpayer
Contractors & Transporters. Contract payments suffer TDS of 1% or 2%, and for many small contractors that deduction is more than their actual tax — so the return is how the money comes back. Goods-vehicle owners with up to ten vehicles can declare a fixed income per vehicle per month instead of keeping books. In both cases the receipts in the tax statement have to match what is declared.
Government & Bank Staff. For government employees the figures that need checking are rarely the basic pay. They are the employer’s NPS contribution, which is deductible under both regimes up to 14% of salary; allowances that are exempt only within limits; and retirement benefits — gratuity and leave encashment are fully exempt for government staff, while commuted pension and GPF follow their own rules. Under the new regime the standard deduction is ₹75,000.
Firms & Companies. Businesses above the presumptive limits keep full books, and a tax audit applies once turnover crosses ₹1 crore — or ₹10 crore where cash receipts and payments are each within 5%. The audit report goes in a month before the return. Companies and LLPs file every year regardless of profit, and partners’ remuneration and interest have their own limits.
What a careless return can cost
- TDS deducted on contract bills is refunded only if the return shows the same receipts the deductor reported.
- A government employee who misses the employer-NPS deduction pays tax on money that never reached his hands.
- A tax audit report filed late draws a penalty of up to 0.5% of turnover, separate from any tax.
- A return filed after the due date carries a late fee and interest, and some losses can no longer be carried forward.
- Banks and visa offices usually ask for the returns of the last two or three years, filed on time.
How we prepare your return
- Scoping. We list every income head for the year — salary, business, capital gains, rent, foreign assets — and the schedules each one needs.
- Statements and workings. Capital-gains statements, broker reports, rent and loan certificates are converted into return schedules and matched with the AIS.
- Review. You receive a computation with the regime comparison, advance-tax position and any disclosure points to confirm.
- Filing and after-care. The return is filed and e-verified; intimations, defective-return notices or refund adjustments are handled until closed.

Income tax filing in Begusarai — frequently asked questions
The presumptive scheme no longer applies, so you must keep full books, and a tax audit is required unless your cash receipts and payments are each within 5%, in which case the audit limit is ₹10 crore. You also become liable to deduct TDS on payments to sub-contractors, rent and professionals.
By filing the return and claiming credit for the TDS shown in your tax statement. If the tax on your actual income is lower than the TDS, the difference is refunded to your bank account. The gross receipts declared must match the amounts reported by the deductors.
For central and state government employees, gratuity and leave encashment received at retirement are fully exempt. For others the exemption is subject to limits — ₹25 lakh for leave encashment. Leave encashed while still in service is taxable for everyone.
Broadly, when turnover exceeds ₹1 crore (₹10 crore if at least 95% of receipts and payments are non-cash), when professional receipts exceed ₹50 lakh outside the presumptive scheme, or when a presumptive taxpayer declares lower profit with taxable income. The audit report is due by 30 September.
The new regime has lower rates and makes income up to ₹12 lakh tax-free after rebate, but drops most deductions. The old regime helps when HRA, home-loan interest and investments are large. We compute both every year and show you the difference.
Filing is mandatory above the basic exemption limit and in certain cases regardless of income — large bank deposits, foreign travel spend or high electricity bills, for example. Even when optional, a return is often worth filing to claim a TDS refund or to build income proof for loans.
