    Hi,

    I guess the thread title says it all. I usually gross 30k+ per month and since I started off some 8-10 months ago, this would be the first time I'll be actually needing to file taxes. But I am clueless :( Any advice, pointers, sitelinks would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    It would be best to consult your friends/family and contact their trusted chartered accountant.

    Such person if already well known in your family circle, can help you more correctly and wisely.

    Make any kind of investment for 1 lac and pay tax for another remaining amount. I still would prefer to consult a Ca for this.

    Okay this is what I gathered from the thread referred to by DeluxDon and some other forums:
    1) ITR 4 needs to be filled
    2) Normal tax slabs apply - for lower income group, it's not much of an issue - 1.6l for males and 1.9l for females is tax-free
    3) Above that investments of upto 1 lakh can be done to evade tax.

    Would any body like to add to this? Also how can I provide proof of income if asked for?

    Thanks!
