Nil Return Filing FAQs
1. What is nil return filing?
Nil return filing means submitting an income tax return that shows zero tax liability. Your income sits below the taxable limit, so you owe no tax. You still file to keep your record active.
2. Who should file a nil return?
Anyone with income below the taxable limit gains from filing. Students, freelancers, salaried earners under the threshold, and first-time taxpayers all benefit. So do people who want a TDS refund or income proof.
3. Is filing a nil return mandatory?
Not always. Filing stays voluntary when your income falls below the taxable limit. It turns mandatory if you own foreign assets, carry forward losses, or cross high-value spending triggers.
4. Can I claim a TDS refund through a nil return?
Yes. A bank deducts TDS on your interest. A client deducts TDS on your freelance payments. A filed nil return lets you claim that money back.
5. Should a freelancer file a nil return?
Yes. Many freelancers face TDS deductions despite earning below the limit. A nil return recovers that TDS and builds your income proof.
6. Should a student file a nil return?
Yes. A student with a stipend or no income builds an early tax record. That record supports future loans and visa applications.
7. What is the due date to file a nil return?
The due date is 31 July of the assessment year. This matches the regular ITR deadline. You can still file a belated return after that with no late fee.
8. Which ITR form applies to a nil return?
Most nil filers use ITR-1 (SAHAJ). It suits individuals with income below the taxable limit. Our tax experts confirm the right form for you.
9. What is the nil return income limit for FY 2025-26?
Under the new tax regime, income up to ₹12 lakh carries zero tax liability after rebate. Under the old tax regime, the basic limit is ₹2.5 lakh for those below 60.
10. Do I need to file if I own a foreign asset?
Yes. Owning any foreign asset makes ITR filing mandatory. Your income level does not change that rule.
11. How much does nil return filing cost with Easy Return?
Your nil ITR filing costs a flat ₹499. That covers CA preparation, chartered accountant review, filing, and e-verification support.
12. Do I need tax knowledge to use this service?
No. Our CAs and tax experts handle the entire process. You share your details. We prepare, review, and file your return in 1 day.
