ITR-1 JSON generator

Save a complete tax scenario per (client × tax year) → download the official ITR-1 JSON the CA uploads at incometax.gov.in.

Tax scenarios

What's working​

  • TaxScenario table — one row per (Firm × Client × TaxYear) with denormalised assessee identity (PAN, DOB, address, employer, bank for refund). Stays intact even if the linked Client row changes later.
  • Form drawer captures every field ITR-1 needs:
    • Filing context (Tax year, Regime, Age band, Status)
    • Assessee identity (Name, PAN, DOB, mobile, email)
    • Address (address line 1 + 2, City, IT-Dept state code, PIN)
    • Income heads (gross salary, employer + TAN, house property, interest income, agri income up to ₹5k)
    • Deductions (Chapter VI-A, employer NPS)
    • Taxes paid (TDS, advance tax)
    • Refund bank (account no, IFSC, bank name)
  • Server recomputes tax on every save so the cached ComputedTotalTax / Refund / BalanceDue columns are always in step with the inputs. Grid displays the math.
  • Download ITR-1 JSON — single button per row. Generates a JSON file shaped to the IT Dept's ITR-1 schema with sections:
    • Form_ITR1 — form metadata (AssessmentYear, FormName, FormVer, SchemaVer)
    • PersonalInfo — name, PAN, address, DOB, employer category
    • FilingStatus — return-file-section, NewTaxRegime flag, return type
    • ITR1_IncomeDeductions — gross salary, std deduction (Us16ia), house property, other sources, agri exempt, Chapter VI-A breakdown, taxable
    • ITR1_TaxComputation — slab tax, §87A rebate, surcharge, cess, net liability
    • TaxPaid — TDS + advance + self-assessment + total + balance payable
    • TDSonSalaries, TDSonOthThanSals — per-deductor rows (table-form)
    • Refund — bank account, IFSC
    • Verification — assessee name, PAN, place, date

What's stub / pending​

  • Schema drift — IT Dept refreshes the ITR-1 schema each AY. Banner on the page reminds CAs to verify against the current official schema before submission. Future polish: schema-version check + auto-warn when a generated JSON references an older AY's schema.
  • ITR-2 / ITR-3 / ITR-4 generators — same shape, different sections. Defer until ITR-1 is verified end-to-end by a CA against a real filing.
  • Auto-import from previous year — copy the last year's scenario, bump dates, recompute. Polish.
