People Asking For Refund In New Scheme

16 June 2025

Dear Sir /Mam

I am facing a very strange problem.. about 15 to 20 people from different cities approached me . They want to file salary ITR with me.. some of them were in defence . All were asking the same ques " 134000 kat gya h refund kitna karaoge" 27000 kat gya h kitna kara doge

Straight away.. i said jitna hoga utna e aega as there is no scope in new scheme to generate refund. They were like this ca dont know how to refund and they didnt filed with me then.. I am thinking to shift focusing from itr 1 to itr 4. As getting new client with tds is really getting tough now

Understanding the Situation It seems like you're facing a challenge with clients expecting unrealistic refunds from their salary ITR filings.

They're asking for specific refund amounts based on the TDS deducted, and when you explain that the refund amount depends on various factors, they're not satisfied. Key Points to Consider -

*Client Expectations*: Clients might have unrealistic expectations about tax refunds, especially if they're not familiar with the tax calculation process. -

*New Tax Regime*: Under the new tax regime, the tax slabs and deductions are different, which might affect the refund amounts. -

*Communication*: It's essential to communicate clearly with clients about the tax calculation process and the factors that affect refunds.

Strategies to Address the Issue -

*Educate Clients*: Take the time to explain the tax calculation process and the factors that affect refunds. This can help manage client expectations. -

*Provide Transparency*: Offer to show clients the tax calculation sheet or the ITR form to help them understand how the refund amount is determined. -

*Set Realistic Expectations*: Clearly communicate that the refund amount depends on various factors, including the tax slab, deductions, and TDS.

Shifting Focus to ITR-4 - *ITR-4*:

If you're finding it challenging to work with salary ITRs, you might consider shifting your focus to ITR-4, which is for presumptive income from businesses or professions. -

*New Opportunities*: ITR-4 filers might have different requirements and expectations, which could provide new opportunities for your practice.
