India has over 90 million taxpayers — and every individual, freelancer, business owner, and investor who earns above the basic exemption limit needs an ITR filed every year. This course teaches you to do exactly that: ITR-1 through ITR-4, TDS, Form 16, advance tax, tax saving investments, income tax notices, and tax planning — with real portal practice, real case studies, and real placement support.
Income Tax — Complete Practitioner Programme
Unlike many skills that become obsolete as technology changes, tax knowledge compounds in value. Every year the law changes slightly, and professionals who understand it become more valuable — not less.
Over 90 million taxpayers file ITR in India each year. Every salaried employee, every freelancer, every small business owner, every investor with capital gains — they all need someone who can file their return correctly. This is an endlessly renewable market for tax professionals.
Every year between April and July, the demand for ITR filing professionals shoots up dramatically. CA firms, accounting offices, and tax consultancies desperately hire trained tax assistants during this period. A single tax season can fund your entire course fee and more.
The introduction of the new tax regime alongside the existing old regime has made tax filing significantly more complex for ordinary taxpayers. They need guidance on which regime saves them more money — and professionals who can model both scenarios are invaluable.
Every employer, CA firm, and payment-making company must deduct and deposit TDS, file quarterly returns, issue Form 16, and comply with TRACES. The volume of TDS compliance work in India's corporate sector is enormous — and constantly creates jobs for trained tax professionals.
The difference between good tax planning and no planning can be ₹50,000–2,00,000 in tax savings per year for a middle-income individual. Professionals who advise on Section 80C, 80D, HRA, home loan deductions, and capital gains tax indexation genuinely change their clients' financial outcomes.
CBDT and income tax authorities are sending more scrutiny notices and demand notices than ever before, thanks to increased data integration with GST, banks, and foreign asset disclosures. Professionals who can read, interpret, and respond to these notices are urgently needed.
This is the learning sequence — each stage builds on the previous one so that by the time you reach ITR filing, everything makes sense from first principles.
You start by genuinely understanding what income tax is — not by memorising sections. The charge of income tax, residential status and its implications, the five heads of income, the distinction between exemptions and deductions, the concept of total income and taxable income. This foundation prevents the common mistake of applying rules without understanding why they exist.
🎯 Foundation: Concepts before portal — understanding before memorisingThe largest category of taxpayers in India are salaried individuals. You will master everything about salary taxation: basic salary, HRA calculation and exemption, LTA, reimbursements, EPF, NPS contributions, standard deduction, professional tax, and how all of this flows from the employer's Form 16 into ITR-1.
🎯 Practical: Read any Form 16 and file ITR-1 accurately within minutesSelf-employed professionals, freelancers, consultants, and small businesses are the fastest-growing taxpayer segment. You will understand income from business/profession under Section 44ADA (presumptive for professionals) and 44AD (presumptive for businesses), maintaining books vs presumptive scheme, and filing ITR-3 and ITR-4 correctly.
🎯 Project: File ITR-4 for a freelance consultant and a small traderRental income is taxable but with generous deductions for municipal taxes, standard deduction, and home loan interest under Section 24(b). You will learn the difference between self-occupied and let-out property treatment, set-off of losses from house property against salary income, and how multiple properties are handled in ITR-2.
🎯 Case Study: Calculate tax for a person with salary + rental income + home loanCapital gains taxation has become increasingly important as stock market and mutual fund investing has grown. You will master Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) under Section 111A for equity, Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) under Section 112A with the 1 lakh exemption, STCG and LTCG on property, debt mutual funds, gold, and the cost of indexation calculation.
🎯 Project: Compute capital gains tax for a taxpayer with equity MF, property sale, and goldThe deductions sections are where genuine tax saving happens. Section 80C (PPF, ELSS, life insurance premium, home loan principal, tuition fees), 80D (health insurance), 80E (education loan), 80G (donations), 80TTA/80TTB (savings account interest), and Section 87A rebate — all covered with practical examples that show exactly how much tax each deduction saves.
🎯 Practice: Model three taxpayer scenarios and identify optimal deduction strategyTDS has been deducted — but has it been correctly credited to your client? You will learn how to read Form 26AS and the Annual Information Statement (AIS), reconcile TDS credits with ITR entries, claim TDS refunds, handle mismatch notices, and understand the implications of TDS deducted by banks, landlords, and professional payment makers.
🎯 Project: Reconcile Form 26AS discrepancies and file a refund claim ITRThis is where theory meets the actual portal that 90 million taxpayers use. Every ITR form — ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4 — is filed live using practice credentials. You will understand exactly which fields to fill, how to handle pre-filled data, how to add missing income, validate and submit the return, and e-verify using Aadhaar OTP or DSC. The portal interface is covered in full detail.
🎯 Live Practice: File 8 different ITR scenarios covering all major taxpayer typesTax is not just about the annual return. Advance tax obligations for business income and capital gains, self-assessment tax, interest under Section 234A (late filing), 234B (advance tax shortfall), and 234C (deferred advance tax), plus penalties for concealment and late filing — are all covered so you understand the cost of getting it wrong.
🎯 Case Study: Calculate advance tax instalments and penalty for a freelancerCBDT sends millions of notices every year. Section 143(1) intimations (common, usually just a mismatch alert), Section 143(2) scrutiny notices (serious), Section 148 notices for escaped income, and demand notices — all have different meanings and different required responses. You will learn to read each type, understand what action is required, file responses through the Income Tax portal, and when to escalate.
🎯 Project: Draft responses to three different types of income tax noticesEach module is built around real case studies and live portal practice — not theoretical questions from a textbook.
B.Com, BBA, M.Com, and MBA Finance students who want practical income tax knowledge that complements their degree — the applied ITR filing skills that theory-based education does not teach and employers consistently test in interviews.
Accountants who already handle GST and Tally but want to add income tax filing to their skill set — a combination that substantially increases your market value and opens roles at CA firms and tax consultancies.
Staff at CA firms who handle client data, prepare workings, and assist in filing but want a structured understanding of the underlying income tax law — so they can work faster, make fewer mistakes, and take on more complex client assignments independently.
Anyone who wants to build an independent income tax practice — filing returns for individual and business clients during tax season as a primary or supplementary income. This course gives you both the technical knowledge and the Income Tax Practitioner guidance.
Freelancers, consultants, traders, and small business owners who want to understand their own tax liability, evaluate presumptive scheme eligibility, identify legitimate deductions, and make intelligent decisions about advance tax payments — without being entirely dependent on a CA for every question.
Retail investors who trade equity and invest in mutual funds but find capital gains tax confusing — especially after LTCG was reintroduced on equity in Budget 2018. Understanding capital gains tax properly saves money and prevents compliance errors that lead to notices.
File ITR-1 confidently for any salaried individual from Form 16 through to acknowledgement and e-verification
File ITR-4 for freelancers and small businesses under the presumptive income scheme (44ADA and 44AD)
File ITR-2 for individuals with house property income, multiple sources, and capital gains from securities
File ITR-3 for self-employed professionals and business owners with regular books of accounts
Calculate capital gains tax accurately for equity, equity mutual funds, property, gold, and debt MFs
Read and reconcile Form 26AS and Annual Information Statement (AIS) before ITR filing
Advise clients on Old Regime vs New Regime — calculate which saves more tax for their specific profile
Identify applicable deductions under Section 80C, 80D, 80E, 80G, 24(b), and others for any taxpayer
Calculate advance tax liability, self-assessment tax, and interest under Sections 234A, 234B, and 234C
Read, understand, and draft responses to common income tax notices — 143(1), demand notices, and rectification requests

I studied B.Com but was never confident about income tax filing. This course changed everything — I can now file ITR-1, ITR-2, and ITR-4 by myself. The capital gains module was particularly valuable — I file ITRs for investors now and that section alone justifies the course fee. Got hired at a CA firm in Shivajinagar at ₹18,000 per month three weeks after completing the course.
I am a freelance digital marketer and always had my ITR filed by a CA — paying ₹3,000 to ₹4,000 every year. After this course I file my own ITR-4 and have started filing for 12 other freelancers in my network. I earned more in my first tax season as an informal tax helper than the course cost me. The portal practice sessions were the most valuable part — actually doing it, not just watching.
I was already working as an accounts executive with Tally knowledge but wanted to add tax filing to my profile. The income tax course at Aapvex was the right choice — the notices module and the TDS reconciliation section are genuinely things that most other courses completely skip. My salary increased by ₹5,000 per month immediately after I added this to my resume and mentioned the specific modules during my review.
The Income Tax course fee starts from ₹7,999. EMI is available on major credit and debit cards. For the combined Tally Prime + Income Tax package, separate pricing applies — call 7796731656 for bundle pricing and current batch offers.
All four main ITR forms for individuals and small businesses are covered: ITR-1 (Sahaj) for salaried individuals with up to one house property and other income up to ₹5,000; ITR-2 for individuals with capital gains, more than one house property, or foreign income; ITR-3 for business/professional income with regular books; and ITR-4 (Sugam) for presumptive income taxpayers under 44AD and 44ADA. Each form is filed live on the portal with real scenarios.
No — this course is designed to be accessible to anyone who is motivated to learn. The first module starts from what income tax is, why the government levies it, and how the basic concepts of income, exemption, deduction, and tax liability work — before touching the portal or any forms. Students from engineering, arts, science, and non-finance backgrounds have successfully completed this course. Computer literacy (comfortable using a website and filling online forms) is the only real prerequisite.
Yes — live portal practice is a core part of this course, not a demonstration you watch. You will use practice credentials to navigate the actual Income Tax e-filing portal, enter data for different taxpayer profiles, validate returns, check error flags, and understand how e-verification works. By the time the course ends, the portal will feel completely familiar rather than intimidating.
Yes — and this is covered at depth because it is one of the most common questions both employers and clients ask. Module 3 specifically covers this comparison: understanding which deductions and exemptions apply only to the old regime, how to calculate total tax under both regimes for a given income profile, and how to advise someone on which option saves more money in their specific situation. The correct answer depends on the individual — and this course teaches you how to work it out for any case.
An Income Tax Practitioner is a professional registered with the CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) under Section 288 of the Income Tax Act. ITPs are authorised to prepare, sign, and file returns on behalf of clients, and to appear and represent clients before income tax authorities up to the Commissioner level. The qualification requires clearing a prescribed examination and registration with the department. Module 10 of this course covers the ITP registration process in detail and helps you assess your readiness to qualify.
Students who already have some accounting or commerce background typically receive interview calls within 1–2 weeks after completing the course and are placed within 3–4 weeks. Students who are completely new to finance may take 5–7 weeks. The key is having a demonstrable portfolio — students who can say 'I have filed 12 ITRs across all four form types' in an interview immediately distinguish themselves. Tax season (April–July) is when CA firms are most actively hiring, so timing your course completion before this window is advantageous.
NRI taxation — how residential status affects income tax liability, which income is taxable in India for an NRI, DTAA (Double Tax Avoidance Agreement) provisions, NRE and NRO account treatment, and ITR filing requirements for NRIs — is covered as a specific topic within Module 1 (residential status) and Module 5 (capital gains on property by NRIs). It is not the primary focus of the course, but NRI tax basics are definitely covered.
Yes — and this combination is strongly recommended. Tally Prime gives you accounting software skills; Income Tax gives you compliance knowledge. Together they make you employable across the full spectrum of accounts and finance roles — from small businesses to CA firms to corporate finance departments. A combined track with reduced fees is available. Call 7796731656 for current package pricing.
Placement support includes: (1) Resume building focused specifically on tax roles — highlighting the ITR forms you can file and the taxpayer types you have experience with, (2) Interview preparation with actual income tax questions that interviewers ask (we know what they ask because our trainers have been on both sides of the table), (3) LinkedIn profile optimisation for finance and tax roles, (4) Active referrals to CA firms, accounting offices, payroll companies, and corporate tax departments in our network across Pune. We also share job openings for 6 months after course completion.
YouTube tutorials are good for understanding individual concepts in isolation — a 12-minute video explaining Section 80C, another on capital gains. But they do not teach you to file a complete, multi-source ITR for a real taxpayer. They do not give you practice on the actual portal. They do not help you when you encounter a notice you have never seen before. They do not tell you about the mistakes that professionals consistently make — or how to avoid them. And they definitely do not get you a job. This course gives you the end-to-end, applied, supervised learning that converts tax knowledge into a career.
