Roadmap

What we will cover before the demo

The starting point

Every return begins with the same chores

For each assessee, each year, before any professional judgement is applied:

  1. 1Log in to the e-Filing portal
  2. 2Download 26AS, AIS, TIS and the prefilled JSON
  3. 3Re-key the figures into a working sheet
  4. 4Tie them to the computation and the financials
  5. 5Choose the ITR form and enter everything again

What does this cost your practice?

Move the sliders to your own numbers.

87hours a season, about 11 working days of 8 hours
The raw material

Done by the tools Done by you Select any step to open it.
The tools take over the fetching, the re-keying and the form filling. The computation, the financial statements and the final review remain with the Chartered Accountant.
Professional guardrails

What the tools do not replace

AIS is information, not conclusion

Reported values can be duplicated, misclassified or simply wrong. Confirm them against the client's records before relying on them.

Credentials and client data

Portal logins and financial data are confidential. Keep them on systems your firm controls.

Review every populated figure

Automation moves data quickly. Classification, disallowances and disclosures still need your judgement.

Confirm the form

Residential status, foreign assets, directorships or unlisted shares can change which form applies.
