1. How to Download Your Computation of Income PDF from the Income Tax Portal

One of the most frequent questions searched by Indian taxpayers applying for a home loan or business loan is: "Where is the Download Computation of Income button on incometax.gov.in?" Officially, the Income Tax e-Filing portal does not generate a standalone CA-style Computation Sheet—it provides the 1-page ITR-V Acknowledgement and the raw Filed Return JSON.

Follow these exact steps to export your official return data and generate a clean 2-page Computation PDF in under 60 seconds:

  1. Visit the official Income Tax e-Filing portal at https://www.incometax.gov.in and log in using your 10-character PAN (or 12-digit Aadhaar) and password.
  2. From the top navigation bar, select e-File → Income Tax Returns → View Filed Returns.
  3. Locate the Assessment Year you need (for example, AY 2026-27, AY 2025-26, or AY 2024-25).
  4. Click the Download JSON button (note: download the Filed Return JSON from "View Filed Returns", not the raw pre-fill JSON). A file named with your acknowledgement number (such as 856049920010726.json) will save to your computer or phone.
  5. Open the HelYou24 ITR JSON to Computation PDF Converter, select your .json file, and click View PDF or Download Computation PDF.

3. Section 44AD & Section 44ADA Presumptive Taxation Explained

To simplify compliance for small shopkeepers, traders, contractors, and independent professionals, Parliament enacted presumptive taxation under Chapter IV-D of the Income-tax Act:

  • Section 44AD (Eligible Businesses): Resident Individuals, HUFs, and Partnership Firms (excluding LLPs) with turnover up to ₹2 Crore (or up to ₹3 Crore where cash receipts do not exceed 5% of total gross receipts) can declare profit at a minimum of 6% on banking/digital receipts (UPI, NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, A/c payee cheque, POS cards) and 8% on cash receipts, without maintaining detailed books of account u/s 44AA or undergoing tax audit u/s 44AB.
  • Section 44ADA (Specified Professionals): Resident doctors, legal practitioners, chartered accountants, architects, engineers, interior designers, and software/IT consultants with gross receipts up to ₹50 Lakh (or ₹75 Lakh when cash receipts are ≤5%) can declare a minimum of 50% of gross receipts as presumptive professional income.

4. Worked Numerical Examples (AY 2026-27 — Finance Act, 2025)

Example A: Retail Business Proprietor Filing ITR-4 (u/s 44AD)

Suppose a retail store owner reports total gross turnover of ₹27,58,080 during FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), comprising ₹22,12,340 via UPI/Bank and ₹5,45,740 in cash. The proprietor declares actual net business income of ₹6,63,680 on digital receipts (30.00%) and ₹1,62,710 on cash sales (29.81%), totaling ₹8,26,390 under Schedule BP, plus ₹636 savings interest and ₹366 FD interest (₹1,002 under Schedule OS):

  • Gross Total Income: ₹8,26,390 + ₹1,002 = ₹8,27,392 → Rounded off u/s 288A to ₹8,27,390.
  • AY 2026-27 Slab Tax u/s 115BAC(1A): ₹0 on first ₹4,00,000 + ₹20,000 (5% on ₹4L–₹8L) + ₹2,739 (10% on remaining ₹27,390) = ₹22,739.
  • Less: Rebate u/s 87A: Since Total Income (₹8,27,390) is within the ₹12,00,000 threshold under Finance Act, 2025, full rebate of ₹22,739 applies → Net Tax Payable = NIL (₹0).

Example B: Salaried Employee Filing ITR-1 (Sahaj)

Suppose a salaried engineer earns Gross Salary of ₹11,50,000 in FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), claims Standard Deduction of ₹75,000 u/s 16(ia), earns ₹14,000 bank FD interest, and has ₹18,500 TDS deducted by the employer:

  • Net Salary Income: ₹11,50,000 − ₹75,000 = ₹10,75,000.
  • Total Taxable Income: ₹10,75,000 + ₹14,000 = ₹10,89,000.
  • Slab Tax & Rebate: Tax before rebate = ₹48,900; Full Section 87A Rebate = ₹48,900 → Gross Tax Liability = ₹0.
  • Refund Due: Since ₹18,500 TDS was deducted at source, Part B reflects Refund Due = ₹18,500 credited to the pre-validated bank account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download a Computation of Income PDF directly from incometax.gov.in?

No. The Income Tax portal lets you download ITR-V (1-page acknowledgement), the full multi-page ITR Form PDF, and the Filed ITR JSON file, but not a 2-page CA-style Computation of Total Income summary. You can download your Filed ITR JSON from incometax.gov.in and convert it into a formatted 2-page Computation PDF free on HelYou24.com.

What is the turnover limit for Section 44AD presumptive taxation in AY 2026-27?

Under Section 44AD, the basic turnover limit is Rs. 2 Crore. However, if at least 95% of your aggregate gross receipts during the financial year are received through banking or digital modes (cash receipts do not exceed 5%), the enhanced Section 44AD turnover threshold is Rs. 3 Crore.

Can I declare higher profit than 6% or 8% under Section 44AD?

Yes. Section 44AD prescribes 6% (on digital/bank turnover) and 8% (on cash turnover) as statutory minimum presumptive profit rates. Taxpayers regularly declare their actual higher net profit percentage earned during the year, and HelYou24 displays your exact declared percentage from the JSON.

Are Chapter VI-A deductions like 80C and 80D allowed in the New Tax Regime?

Under the default New Tax Regime u/s 115BAC(1A), individual deductions under Sections 80C, 80D, 80TTA, and 80G are not deductible, though employer NPS contribution u/s 80CCD(2) and salaried standard deduction of Rs. 75,000 u/s 16(ia) are allowed. If you opted for the Old Tax Regime (Form 10-IEA where applicable), Chapter VI-A deductions present in your JSON are automatically included in a dedicated schedule.
