Who needs an income tax consultant in Lucknow?
Looking for a reliable income tax consultant in Lucknow who explains things in plain language and files your return correctly the first time? Aidwish helps salaried employees, professionals, traders and businesses across the city stay compliant, pay only the tax that is genuinely due, and avoid the notices that come from rushed or incorrect filing. From a single Form 16 return to a full business tax audit, we handle the complete income tax journey for you.
Lucknow has a busy and varied taxpayer base. Salaried staff working with the state government, banks, hospitals and IT firms in Gomti Nagar and Vibhuti Khand; wholesale and retail traders in Aminabad, Nakhas, Yahiyaganj and Chowk; doctors and clinics near Hazratganj and the medical hubs; and a growing number of freelancers, consultants and online sellers working from home. Each of these has a different tax situation, and a template return simply does not fit all of them. We take the time to understand your income sources before choosing the right ITR form and regime.
Our approach is straightforward: get the facts right, apply the law correctly, plan ahead so next year is easier, and keep our fees transparent. Whether you need this year's return filed before the deadline, an old year corrected, or help replying to an income-tax notice, our team is available and reachable in Lucknow.

Questions from Lucknow business owners
Who is the best income tax consultant in Lucknow for salaried employees?
For a salaried person, the right consultant is one who reads your Form 16, AIS and 26AS correctly, picks between the old and new regime for your case, and files on time. Aidwish handles salaried returns across Lucknow, including cases with house rent, home loan interest and more than one employer in a year. Call +91 73074 81009 for a quick review.
What is the last date to file ITR for AY 2026-27?
For most individuals and non-audit taxpayers, the due date to file the return for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27) is 31 July 2026. For taxpayers who need a tax audit, the return is generally due by 31 October 2026, with the audit report before that. Filing after the due date can attract a late fee under section 234F and interest, so it is best not to wait.
How much does an income tax consultant charge for ITR filing in Lucknow?
There is no government fee to file a return, so you only pay a professional fee. In Lucknow, a simple salaried return typically costs around Rs 800 to Rs 2,000, while capital gains and business returns cost more depending on complexity. Aidwish quotes the fee upfront after understanding your income, with no hidden charges.
What is the difference between the old and new tax regime, and which should I choose?
The new regime has lower slab rates and, for FY 2025-26, a rebate that makes income up to around Rs 12 lakh effectively tax-free for many, but it removes most deductions like 80C and HRA. The old regime keeps those deductions but has higher rates. The better choice depends on how much you actually invest and claim, so we compute both before filing and pick the one that saves you more.
I run a small shop in Aminabad. Do I need a tax audit or can I use presumptive taxation?
Many small traders in Lucknow can use presumptive taxation under section 44AD if turnover is within the prescribed limit (broadly up to Rs 2 crore, or Rs 3 crore where cash receipts are 5% or less), declaring a set percentage of turnover as income without full books. A tax audit under 44AB applies when turnover or profit thresholds are crossed, or in certain presumptive situations. We check your figures and tell you honestly which route applies.
I received an income-tax notice. What should I do?
First, do not ignore it, as most notices have a response deadline. Read the section quoted, since a 143(1) intimation about a mismatch is very different from a 143(2) scrutiny or a 148 reassessment notice. Bring the notice to us; we will review it, explain what it means, and draft a proper reply or represent you during assessment.
