Any individual whose gross total income exceeds the basic exemption limit is required to file an ITR. Additionally, even if your income is below the threshold, filing is mandatory if you hold foreign assets, have significant bank transactions, or want to carry forward losses.

You will need your PAN, Aadhaar, Form 16 (for salaried individuals), bank statements, investment proofs (under Section 80C, 80D etc.), capital gains statements from brokers, and rent receipts if you claim HRA. For business owners, books of accounts and a profit & loss statement are also required.

The right CA can save you considerably more than their fees.
GST registration is mandatory for businesses with turnover exceeding the prescribed threshold (currently ₹40 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services, with lower limits for certain states). It is also mandatory for businesses engaged in interstate supply, e-commerce, and certain specific categories regardless of turnover.
