File Your ITR via Mobile: Step-by-Step Guide Using Official Apps

New Delhi, September 8, 2025: If you are filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2024-25, you can now do it conveniently from your mobile phone. The Income Tax Department offers two official apps—“AIS for Taxpayer” and “Income Tax Department”—which allow salaried individuals and pensioners to file their returns easily from the comfort of their homes.

Filing ITR via Mobile – Step by Step

1. Login and Access

   • Use your PAN, Aadhaar, or registered user ID and password to log in.

   • Multi-factor authentication, including Aadhaar OTP, ensures your data is highly secure.

2. Check Pre-Filled Data

   • These apps fetch pre-filled information from AIS and TIS, including salary, bank, and mutual fund data.

   • This eliminates manual data entry and saves time.

3. Select the Correct ITR Form

   • Based on your income type—salary, pension, capital gains, or other sources—the app guides you to the appropriate form.

4. Edit or Add Information

   • Update any missing or incorrect details, such as fixed deposit interest or rental income.

   • The interface makes editing simple and intuitive.

5. E-Verification and Submission

   • Complete your ITR filing with Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or digital signature.

   • Submission is instant, and you receive an acknowledgment immediately.

Alternative E-Filing Platforms

Besides official apps, there are private e-filing platforms and fintech solutions recognized by the Income Tax Department. They cater to salaried individuals, freelancers, business owners, and investors, offering both self-service and expert-assisted filing.

Popular platforms include:

• ClearTax – User-friendly interface with Form 16 upload and personalized tax optimization advice.

• TaxBuddy – Assisted filing, real-time expert interaction, and guidance on deductions. Ideal for complex tax profiles.

• MyITreturn – Supports a broad range of ITRs and simplifies compliance for both individuals and businesses.

Note: Official apps are free, secure, and perfect for straightforward filings, while private platforms offer expert guidance and personalized tools for complex situations, often for a nominal fee.
