ITR filing guide for Dwarka's salaried professionals

At a Glance — Key Facts for AY 2026-27

Most salaried employees in Dwarka arrive at ITR filing with just one document — their Form 16. That is almost always the beginning of an incomplete return. We see this from government employees in Dwarka Sector 12 to airline crew near IGI Airport. Form 16 often shows less than what the Income Tax Department already knows through AIS, and ignoring that gap can be costly.

This guide covers ITR filing for salaried employees in Dwarka for Assessment Year 2026-27: the deadlines, the belated return, the right ITR form and the filing steps. For personalised guidance, our CA services in Dwarka are available all seven days including Sunday.

AY 2026-27 Deadlines — What Every Dwarka Salaried Employee Must Know

The filing deadline for salaried employees was 31 July 2026. If you missed it, you can still file a belated return by 31 December 2026. But a late return does not just mean a penalty; it also means losing benefits that only an on-time return gives.

Belated return (last chance)

31 December 2026

One pattern we see every July among Dwarka salaried employees: many wait for their employer to issue Form 16, which is due by 15 June. That leaves just six weeks for filing. If you work for a large PSU or government department in Dwarka, Form 16 processing is sometimes delayed. Start the pre-filing documentation check in May, especially the AIS reconciliation, so you have time in hand.

Section 234F Penalty:
Filing after 31 July 2026 attracts a penalty (late fee) of ₹5,000. If your total income is up to ₹5 lakh, the penalty is capped at ₹1,000. Missing the deadline also means you cannot carry forward capital losses to future years. That cost is often far higher than the penalty itself.

Missed 31 July? File a belated return by 31 December 2026 : For AY 2026-27 (FY 2025-26), you can still file a belated return till 31 December 2026 on the Income Tax e-filing portal. The late fee under Section 234F applies, along with interest under Section 234A on any unpaid tax. In a belated return, you cannot choose the old tax regime or carry forward capital losses. Audit cases have time till 21 November 2026.

Frequently asked questions

You can file a belated return by 31 December 2026. The late fee under Section 234F is ₹5,000, or ₹1,000 if your total income is up to ₹5 lakh. Interest under Section 234A applies on any unpaid tax.

No. Salaried employees can choose the old regime only in a return filed by the due date, which was 31 July 2026 for AY 2026-27. A belated return is taxed under the new regime.

For AY 2026-27, ITR-1 covers up to two house properties if total income is up to ₹50 lakh and the other ITR-1 conditions are met. With three or more properties, any short-term capital gain, long-term gains above ₹1.25 lakh under Section 112A, or foreign assets, file ITR-2.

No. You must e-verify the return within 30 days, for example through Aadhaar OTP. Without e-verification, the return is treated as not filed.

Check AIS before filing. Income shown in AIS but missing from Form 16, such as savings or FD interest, must be reported in your ITR. If an AIS entry is wrong, submit feedback on it on the e-filing portal.
