ITR Filing 2026: Alternative Online Platforms and Charges

The deadline for filing income tax returns (ITR) for the assessment year 2026-27 is approaching.

While the official income tax department's portal is the primary platform for filing ITR, several fintech and financial platforms now offer services to prepare and file returns digitally.

These platforms provide features like automated tax data fetching, pre-filled data, and expert assistance.

Some of these platforms include Paytm, Angel One, PhonePe, JioFinance, and INDmoney, with charges starting from ₹11.

The official portal also offers pre-filled information and allows online tax payment and form submission.

As of now, over 4.3 crore ITRs have been filed, and nearly 4.1 crore returns have been verified for the assessment year 2026-27.
