EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Technology-driven platform Tax2win is a prime example of how the market integrates technologyfor customer-
centric solutions. The sector's ability to adopt technology to streamline financial processes is demonstrated by how
easily complex tax processes are made simpler, from online filing to professional assistance. Collaborations with
leading companies in the sector, like Google Pay and Paytm, highlight Tax2win's expertise in handling digital
transactions and compliance.

Filing an ITR is important for an individual to avail the various benefits of tax. Being in a Tax consultant firm I
observed many people are willing to file an ITR but many of them are not willing to pay the tax. Being in an
organization for 2 months made me learn about the client handling and making them conveyance about the
importance of tax.

I joined Tax2win as a a Tax associate where we have to gather the basic information of the client and pass it to CA
so that they can File an ITR of the customer. Daily, lots of tokens were being purchased by the customers and the
E-Mitra / CSC- VLE agents and then they catered to the needsof people by filing their returns. So, working for 2
months at Tax2win, I clearly got an idea of

the work that takes place at the office, and the challenges that they face while dealing with the clients. I even had
to face so many challenges while dealing with the clients and I wanted to knowwhat they actually understand and
think about e-filing of income tax returns.

Simultaneously, other work assigned by my TL was also done by me. At the last week of my internship, I was
back to calling the team and handled my team simultaneously because of the workload.

To ensure financial responsibility and compliance and a secure and prosperous future, it is essentialto comprehend
and manage income tax returns efficiently.
CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction to Income tax Reture …

Indian Income Tax refers to the tax levied by the Government of India on the income earned by
individuals, businesses, and other entities within the country. The income tax system in India is
governed by the Income Tax Act, 1961, and is administered by the Central Board of Direct Taxes
(CBDT), which operates under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance.

Income tax in India is a direct tax imposed by the government on individuals, Hindu Undivided
Families (HUFs), companies, and other entities based on their respective income levels. The tax
is levied by the Central Government of India and is a significant source of revenue for the
country. Here are some key points about Indian income tax:

Taxable Income:
Income tax is calculated on the total income earned by an individual or entity during a financial
year (April 1 to March 31). Different sources of income, such as salary, business/profession,
capital gains, house property, and other sources, are considered while determining the taxable
income.
Income Tax Slabs:
India has a progressive tax system, where higher income is taxed at higher rates.
The income tax slabs and rates vary based on the age and income of the taxpayer.
Individuals below a certain income threshold may be eligible for tax exemptions and
deductions.
Exemptions and Deductions:
The Income Tax Act of India provides various exemptions and deductions that can be claimed to
reduce the taxable income. These include deductions for investments like Provident Fund (PF),
Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Certificate (NSC), and more.
Tax Filing:
Individuals and entities with taxable income are required to file their income tax returns (ITRs)
by the specified due [Link] to file ITR or underreporting income can result in penalties and
legal consequences.
Form 16 and Form 26AS:
Form 16 is a certificate provided by employers to salaried individuals, summarizing their
income, deductions, and tax paid during the [Link] 26AS is a statement that reflects all tax-
related information (like TDS deducted, advance tax paid) associated with a PAN.
Advance Tax and TDS:
Individuals and entities with significant tax liability may need to pay advance tax in installments
during the financial [Link] Deducted at Source (TDS) is a mechanism where the payer deducts
tax at prescribed rates before making certain payments (like salary, rent, etc.) to the payee.
Tax Returns and Assessment:
After filing the income tax return, the Income Tax Department assesses the return for accuracy
and compliance.
In case of discrepancies or audit notices, taxpayers may need to provide additional information to
the department.
E-filing and Digitalization:
The Income Tax Department has embraced digitalization, and taxpayers are
encouraged to file their returns online through the official e-filing portal.
E-verification methods, such as Aadhaar OTP and net banking, have been
introduced to simplify the verification process.

SLAB RATES (as per old regime)


Income tax slab rates in India determine the amount of tax payable by individuals and
Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) based on their taxable income. These rates are
subject to change with amendments in the Union Budget, so it's essential to refer to the
latest tax slab rates for accurate information. As of my last knowledge update in
September 2021, here are the income tax slab rates for individual taxpayers below the
age of 60 for the financial year 2021-2022 (Assessment Year 2022-2023):
Individuals and HUFs:
- Up to ₹2,50,000: No tax
- ₹2,50,001 to ₹5,00,000: 5% of the income exceeding ₹2,50,000
- ₹5,00,001 to ₹10,00,000: 20% of the income exceeding ₹5,00,000 + ₹12,500
- Above ₹10,00,000: 30% of the income exceeding ₹10,00,000 + ₹1,12,500

Senior Citizens (60 to 80 years):


- Up to ₹3,00,000: No tax
- ₹3,00,001 to ₹5,00,000: 5% of the income exceeding ₹3,00,000
- ₹5,00,001 to ₹10,00,000: 20% of the income exceeding ₹5,00,000 + ₹10,000
- Above ₹10,00,000: 30% of the income exceeding ₹10,00,000 + ₹1,10,000

Very Senior Citizens (Above 80 years):


- Up to ₹5,00,000: No tax
- ₹5,00,001 to ₹10,00,000: 20% of the income exceeding ₹5,00,000
- Above ₹10,00,000: 30% of the income exceeding ₹10,00,000 + ₹1,00,000
Additionally, there is a 4% Health and Education Cess on the income tax amount
calculated.
CHAPTER-2 ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
The financial sector plays a crucial role in the global economy by minimizing the distribution of
resources, controlling risk, and offering a wide range of financial services to people, businesses,
and governments. This sector includes a wide range of businesses, organizations, and marketplaces
that are essential to the management of assets, capital, and money. Its importance goes beyond
being a crucial tenet of contemporary economies, stimulating investment, wealth creation, and
economic progress.

2.1 Key Components of the Financial Sector

o Banking: Banks, which provide a wide range of financial services like checking and
savings accounts, loans, credit cards, and investment opportunities, are at the center of the
finance sector. The foundation of the banking industry is made up of commercial banks,
investment banks, and central banks.
o Capital markets: These markets make it possible for financial instruments like stocks,
bonds, and derivatives to be traded, allowing firms to raise money for growth and investors
to diversify their holdings.

to offer cutting-edge financial solutions, such as robo-advisory services, cryptocurrency
platforms, online banking, and digital payment systems.
o Credit and Lending: This industry focuses on providing credit to people and businesses
through a variety of channels, including credit cards, mortgages, business loans, and
personal loans.
o Corporate Finance: Individuals with a background in corporate finance are in charge of
overseeing all financial operations of a firm, including capital budgeting, financial analysis,
strategic financial planning, and mergers and acquisitions.
o Wealth Management: Wealth Management companies cater to high-net-worth clients and
provide estate planning, individualized investment strategies, and wealth preservation
services.
2.2 Importance of the Finance Sector:

o Resource Allocation: The financial sector is essential in effectively allocating resources


from savers to borrowers, promoting economic activity and expansion.
o Risk management: People and corporations can efficiently control a variety of financial
risks by using financial products like insurance and derivatives.
o Economic Growth: Investment, innovation, and entrepreneurship are all encouraged by a
healthy financial sector, which boosts the nation's economy as a whole.

effective financial planning and investments.
o Global Connectivity: By fostering cross-border trade, investments, and capital transfers,

o Employment Creation: The financial industry generates employment opportunities in a
variety of industries, including banking, investment, insurance, and technology.

interests depend critically on the efficient regulation and control of the finance sector.
1.3 Challenges of the Finance Sector: -

The financial industry functions in a complex and changing environment, which creates a number
of obstacles to its stability, integrity, and efficacy. These difficulties can have far-reaching
consequences for individuals, corporations, and economies. Here are some of the major difficulties
confronting the financial sector:

o Regulatory Compliance and Complexity: Strict rules are required to ensure financial
stability and consumer protection. Navigating complex and growing regulatory regimes,
on the other hand, can be difficult for financial organizations. Meeting compliance
requirements frequently necessitates substantial resources and experience.
o Cybersecurity and Data Privacy: The financial sector's increased reliance on technology
exposes it to cyber threats and data breaches. To preserve confidence and avoid financial
losses, it is critical to protect sensitive client information, transaction data, and financial
systems from cyberattacks.
o Financial Crimes: Money laundering, fraud, and other financial crimes endanger the
sector's credibility. To address these issues, strong anti-money laundering (AML) and
know-your-customer (KYC) protocols are required.
o Systemic Risk: Because financial institutions are interrelated, systemic hazards can arise.
A major institution's demise or a significant market disruption can have ripple effects
throughout the financial system.

o Market Volatility: Because of reasons such as geopolitical events, economic data


releases, and investor mood, financial markets are prone to volatility. Market volatility
control is critical for investing and risk management.
o Protection: It is difficult to ensure that consumers are treated fairly and are well-informed
about financial products and services. Consumers can be left susceptible by complex
financial products and pushy sales practices.

Addressing these difficulties would necessitate coordination among governments, regulatory


organizations, financial institutions, and technology vendors. A resilient and effective financial
industry requires a balance of innovation, risk management, consumer protection, and stability.
1.4 Future of the Finance Sector: -

A number of factors, including as technical advancements, regulatory changes, shifting consumer


dynamics, and economic trends, are likely to have an impact on the direction that the financial
industry takes in the future.

o Fintech Developments: Fintech (financial technology) businesses will probably continue


to drive innovation in the finance sector. These organizations use technology to provide
effective and customer-focused solutions for a range of financial services, including
investing, lending, and insurance.
o Digital banking: The rise of neo banks and digital banks poses a threat to conventional
brick-and-mortar banks. For users who are more interested in using technology, these
virtual banks provide simplified services, customized experiences, and frequently better
rates.

o Regulatory Environment: In order to maintain security, consumer protection, and general


financial stability when new financial technologies are developed, regulatory authorities
will need to adapt and put in place the proper frameworks. A significant difficulty still lies
in finding a balance between innovation and regulation.
o AI and data analytics: These two technologies are expected to continue to play a big part
in the financial industry. Additionally, they can help with portfolio management, consumer
insights, risk assessment, fraud detection, and other tasks.

4.3 PORTER 5 FORCES OF TAX2WIN

Online platform Tax2win provides tax preparation and related financial services. Porter's Five
Forces analysis of the company's competitive landscape offers insights into the dynamics of the
market and its position:

THREATS OF NEW ENTRANTS

Tax2win faces a mild danger from new competitors. Although there aren't many technological
hurdles to entry for the online tax filing sector, first-movers like Tax2win have a first-mover
advantage, brand recognition, and economies of scale that can make it difficult for new entrants to
immediately capture a sizable market share.

BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS

Suppliers in the context of Tax2win, which probably includes technology companies, software
developers, and possibly even data providers, have only minimal bargaining leverage. Tax2win

may depend on outside providers for some components, but having a variety of vendors and being
able to switch between them can reduce the risk of a dominant supplier.
BARGAINING POWER OF CUSTOMERS

Customers in the online tax filing sector may have a lot of negotiating power. Customers have a
wide range of options, and they can readily migrate to other platforms if they discover more
affordable prices or better service options. To keep its user base, Tax2win must concentrate on
upholding client happiness and providing fair pricing.

THREATS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES

Alternatives to Tax2win's services could pose a serious challenge. With the development of
technology and the availability of numerous software solutions, people and businesses may choose
to manage their tax filing manually or using alternative software. To give a distinctive value that
distinguishes it from competitors, Tax2win must constantly improve the features and services it
offers.

INTENSITY OF COMPETITIVE RIVALRY

Within the industry of online tax filing, there can be fierce competition. Tax2win is in competition
with other websites that provide comparable services. Pricing, customer support, ease of use, and
differentiation are all elements that affect how competitive a company is. Regular innovation and
clever marketing can aid Tax2win in keeping a lead over its competitors.

Finally, Tax2win competes in a market that has a range of suppliers and customers with varied
degrees of bargaining power and moderate to high levels of industry rivalry. In order to succeed,
the business must build on its advantages, such as its name recognition and first-mover advantage,
and constantly adapt to changing consumer demands and market trends in order to stay ahead of
rivals and hold onto its market position.

5.2 SUMMARY OF THE TASK

I started my internship in the firm Tax2win, Jaipur. It is a financial services-based firm which
deals in e- filing of Income tax returns. On the very first day of my internship, we had a
training session with our mentor Mr. Abhash Kanoongo. He taught me about how to work
in an organization and how to use IncomeTax Portal, Tax2win Dashboard and the way to
reset the password. After that I was assigned the page on which I had to work to call the
clients. I had to call the client and reset the password and ask for information related to
his\her Job or Business like what is his\her annual salary and any deductions he\she is having
so that the details can be gathered to file the income tax return of a client.

After a few days I was assigned to other work where I must check the past year’s cases (ITR-U
Cases) of the client and find the missing information from them. After that I was checking the
Present year cases of the client where we have to set aside the cases which have incomplete
information so that calls can be made to that client and filing of ITR can be done before 31 st July
2023.

Checking the AIS TIS of the client and asking for the relevant documents to file the ITR was done
by me, learning how to punch the case of the customer and file it through the online training given
by our head.

When the 31st of July was coming near, work pressure increased, I was working 7 days a week and
extra hours also by calling and solving the query of the intern work simultaneously.

I have to send the Login mail, Logout mail and output mail daily to our heads so that they can
check our progress and give us the relevant feedback.

5.3 DETAILS OF MY TASK

TASK 1:

CALLING TEAM
I played a crucial role on the calling team during my internship, interacting with clients on the call
to acquire crucial financial information for tax purposes. According to a predefined script, I always
started each conversation with a friendly greeting and a confirmation of the client's identity. I then
carefully gathered from clients a wide range of revenue facts, including commission, other income,
farm income, and salaried pay. I carefully gathered turnover data for clients who had business
income and informed them of possible tax repercussions if their revenue exceeded 5 lakh rupees.

I also inquired about any other deductions that clients intended to list on their Income Tax Return
(ITR), such as house loan interest, up to two children's tuition, and LIC insurance.

Daily targets were set by my TL and at the end of the day we were required to send the output mail
to our seniors for the record of our work.

TASK-2

ADDITIONAL WORK

I took on the job of making numerous Excel spreadsheets throughout my internship to help my
team leader with various areas of our operation. The creation of an extensive teamwork segregation
sheet was one of the primary objectives. This sheet aided in job allocation efficiency by classifying
and organizing the duties of the various team members, improving coordination.

I also created an Excel document that tracked our clients' Annual Income Statement (AIS) and
Taxpayer Information summary (TIS) and asking for the relevant information

I also created an Excel document with the sole purpose of managing customer password resets.
Sections on this sheet were designated for noting customer data, reset requests, and the progress
of each reset procedure. This method made it easier to handle password-related issues in an orderly
and methodical manner, speeding up response times and enhancing customer satisfaction.

I wanted to increase the effectiveness and organization of our team, so I made these Excel
spreadsheets. These tools improved client management procedures overall and helped preserve
correct records while also bringing clarity and transparency to how work was distributed.

I also attended the training session on how to file and punch an ITR through online mode by our
team leader.

RECOMMENDATIONS & LEARNING FROM SIP

6.1 RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMPANY

With an experience of 2 months in Tax2win there were many things that were good about the
companies, and I learned many things from them, but I observed certain things which can be
rectified according to me like:

 Giving equal opportunities to everyone so that everyone can learn different types of work
associated with ITR.
 The company should also file the cases of those who have a turnover of more than 10 Crore
and GST cases.
 Having employees in the company who knows multiple Languages.
 CSC/ VLE should upload the information of the clients or make them aware about the later
procedures after purchasing tokens so that he/she can tell the same to the customers.

CHAPTER 7
(LIMITATIONS AND CONCLUSION)
7.1 LIMITATIONS OF THE TASK BASED RESEARCH STUDY

The goal of task-based research, often referred to as task-oriented research, is to comprehend


certain tasks, activities, or processes within a larger framework. Although this strategy has
benefits, it also has drawbacks. The following are some task-based research's drawbacks:

1. Limited Contextual Understanding: Task-based research may not offer a thorough grasp of
the greater context in which activities are performed. Researchers risk failing to comprehend the
deeper purposes, cultural contexts, and wider ramifications of assignments.

2. Lack of an overall perspective: Having a narrow focus on duties can result in a shattered
perspective on the issue. It's possible to ignore crucial linkages between activities and other
components, such as relationships, procedures, and systemic consequences.

3. Difficulty in Generalization: It may be difficult to generalize task-based research findings


beyond the unique tasks that were investigated. It might be difficult to extrapolate results from one
situation or environment to another.

4. Ignoring Human Factors: Task-based research may place more emphasis on the technical or
procedural elements of tasks while ignoring human factors that affect task performance, such as
emotions, perceptions, and cognitive processes.

5. Unexpected Results: By concentrating only on tasks, researchers run the risk of missing
unexpected results, unintended repercussions, or emergent patterns that result from interactions
between tasks and other factors.

6. Failure to Predict Future Trends: Task-based research frequently looks back and analyses past activities.
This may make it more difficult to anticipate future trends, needs, or adjustments to taskrequirements and
performance.

7. Dependency on Task Accuracy: The research's findings might not correctly reflect actual
practices if the tasks under study are not precisely described or realistic of real-world settings
CONCLUSION

I'll sum up by saying that my time spent as an intern preparing income tax returns helped me much
in gaining an understanding of the complexity of taxation and its place in the financial system. I've
learned useful information on how to effectively and quickly prepare income tax returns for
Individuals.

I have gained a thorough understanding of the tax code and how it affects various financial
situations through practical duties including collecting financial data, analysing deductions and
credits, and filling out the relevant documents. As a result of this experience, I have had the chance
to see personally how important it is to prepare tax returns correctly and in accordance with all
current rules and regulations.

My technical skills have improved, but so too have my interpersonal skills as a result of working
with clients and helping them organise their financial data for tax purposes. One useful talent I've
acquired during my time here is the ability to explain difficult tax topics in a simple and
understandable way.

An important development in the fields of taxation and personal finance is the incorporation of
fintech solutions into the process of submitting income tax returns (ITR). In addition to
streamlining the previously complex procedure, the fusion of financial technology and taxation
has brought efficiency, accuracy, and convenience to both taxpayers and tax experts.

Individuals can now use user-friendly systems that direct them through the challenging process of
acquiring, organizing, and submitting their financial data by utilising fintech solutions. The ITR is
prepared precisely and in accordance with the constantly changing tax requirements thanks to the
automation of data entry and real-time computations, which considerably lowers the likelihood of
human error.

Fintech solutions have transformed the workflow of tax professionals, allowing them to
concentrate on value-added services like in-depth research, strategic tax planning, and
individualised guidance. By replacing manual data entry with analytical insights, the client-
professional interaction is improved, which eventually results in more informed tax planning and
financial decisions.

While adopting fintech in ITR filing has many advantages, there are also possible drawbacks that
must be addressed, including data security issues, privacy concerns, and the need to balance the
use of technology and human skills. Regulations and cybersecurity measures will be crucial in
ensuring that user data is secured and transactions are secure as the fintech industry continues to
change.

In conclusion, the addition of fintech in tax filing signifies a fundamental change in how taxpayers
and professionals view taxation. Fintech not only makes ITR filing simpler, but also creates the
foundation for a more effective and efficient tax environment by having the ability to improve
accuracy, expedite processes, and offer actionable insights. The future holds even more complex
and user-centric solutions for all stakeholders as the fintech and tax industries continue to interact
and innovate.
