There are several portals now a days, which let you file your tax returns,online. Some offer professional advice, too.

Reviewed three of the most popular ones.

Drawback: No online chat support


Packages: Taxsmile offers three packages based on whether you require professional expert help and support, to guide you through the online filling process.

Service Price (in Rs)
Online only Rs. 289
Online expert support and review Rs.449
Off-line expert support and review Rs. 750
Digital signature Rs. 562
Online PAN card Rs.149


Drawback: Online chat speed is slow. It took half an hour for our query to be answered. There's also no option to file returns without a digital signature.


Packages: There is a single package of Rs 199 for all kinds of individual returns.

Drawback: Only individual returns can be filed. Another shortcoming is its payment options. It currently allows payment only through debit and credit card. The management plans to offer other payment options like cheque, demand draft and Internet banking, soon.
