Terms of Use
Last updated: July 2026 • TaxShield
Educational & Informational Purpose
This ITR Filing Tool is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It helps you understand your tax liability, compare old vs new regimes, and prepare a JSON file for uploading on incometax.gov.in. It does not file your return directly — you do that yourself on the official Income Tax portal.
Not a Substitute for Professional Advice
This tool is not a substitute for professional CA or tax advice. It is a utility that automates the mechanical work of filling in an ITR JSON. If you have complex tax situations (capital gains from multiple asset classes, foreign income, business income, carry-forward losses, etc.), please consult a Chartered Accountant or qualified tax professional before filing.
No Liability for Incorrect Calculations
While we strive to keep computations aligned with the latest Income Tax Act provisions and ITR JSON schemas published by the Income Tax Department, we do not guarantee that the generated output is 100% accurate or complete. Tax laws change frequently, and PDF parsing can sometimes miss or misinterpret data depending on your document format. We accept no liability for errors in tax computation, incorrect parsing, or any penalties, interest, or notices you may receive from the Income Tax Department.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all data before submitting your ITR. The tool shows you a draft review screen — please check every number against your actual Form 16, Form 26AS, and AIS. Once you upload the JSON on the Income Tax portal, it becomes your legal filing. We are not responsible for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from use of the generated JSON.
- You upload your Form 16 / Form 26AS PDF
- The tool extracts text from the PDF and parses income/TDS details
- You review, edit, and confirm the figures
- The tool generates a JSON file conforming to the ITR schema
- You download the JSON and upload it on incometax.gov.in yourself
At no point does this tool submit anything to the Income Tax Department on your behalf.
Data Processing Disclaimer
All data processing happens locally in your browser or within an ephemeral server session that exists only for the duration of your request. Your PDFs are parsed in-memory and discarded immediately after text extraction. No files, personal information, or tax data are stored on any server, database, or cloud storage. The generated ITR JSON is created client-side and stays on your device.
Indemnification
By using this tool, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developers, contributors, and maintainers of this tool from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the tool, your reliance on its output, your filing of an Income Tax Return based on the generated JSON, or your violation of these Terms of Use.
Free for Personal Use
This tool is free to use for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may use it to prepare your own ITR or help family members with theirs. Commercial use (e.g., using it as part of a paid tax preparation service) requires separate permission.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the tool after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
