AY 2026-27 · CBDT JSON Schema V1.0

ITR JSON, checked against the official CBDT schema.

Downloads are paused while we fix our file builder. When they come back, every file has to pass the official AY 2026-27 schema check before you can download it. Your tax estimate under both regimes and Form 16 reading work today.

No form passes the check yet · No card · No account needed

Why Finacra ITR

Built for the CA who already knows what to fill.

The offline utility is fine if you have an afternoon. Genius is fine if you have a licence. This is for the in-between — single filing, fast, valid, free.

16

Form 16 → JSON

OCR + LLM extract gross salary, TDS, TAN, employer name straight from your PDF. Sanitised against PAN/TAN regex; never silently dropped.

✓

Checked, or not offered

Every file is checked against the official CBDT JSON schema and our own rules. A file that fails the check is never handed to you. No form passes it yet.

₹

Free forever for one filing

Free tier covers single filings end-to-end. No watermark, no time-limit, no card-on-file. Pro/Firm add saved profiles + batch.

⚡

It never fills in your declarations

The return section, the tax regime and who signs are yours to state. Finacra can suggest, and it says what it could not fill.

GS

Built to the same schema

The file follows the official CBDT JSON schema for the form. We have not tested import into Genius.

🔒

Your data, your machine

Free tier runs without saving anything server-side. Pro saves profiles only with consent + encrypted at rest.

Coverage

Same forms the IT Department ships.

All seven AY 2026-27 schemas are bundled. A form is switched on only once the file Finacra builds passes the official check. None passes yet.

How it works

Four steps. The fourth is on the IT-Dept portal.

  1. 01
    Pick a form.

    ITR-1 through ITR-7, the same forms the Income Tax Department ships.

  2. 02
    Upload Form 16 or fill four fields.

    OCR pulls gross salary, TDS, TAN, employer name. Or type them in — your call.

  3. 03
    Download the JSON once it passes the official check.

    If it does not pass, you get the list of what is missing and who has to fix it. No form passes yet.

  4. 04
    Import it into the offline utility and file.

    You finish any prompts the utility asks for and check every value. Filing on the Income Tax Department portal stays with you.

Pricing

Free for one filing. Paid when you do this for a living.

Pricing is per-season because filing is seasonal. No subscription guilt during the eleven months you aren't filing.

FAQ

Five questions a CA actually asks.

Does Finacra ITR file directly to the IT Department?

No. Finacra builds the JSON and checks it against the official CBDT schema. You file it yourself through the Income Tax Department portal or its offline utility, and you press the final button. Machine-to-machine filing needs CBDT approval for our category, which we do not have.

How does this compare to Genius?

Genius is the comprehensive desktop product, with every form, every schedule and a multi-year licence. Finacra ITR is a focused tool that builds the JSON for the most-filed forms and checks it against the official schema. We have not tested import into Genius.

Do I need a Finacra account?

No, the Free tier is fully public. Sign in (Google or email link) only when you want Pro/Firm features — saved profiles, batch filing, validation history. The same login works across Finacra and Finacra ITR.

Which assessment year does this cover?

AY 2026-27 (FY 2025-26), against CBDT JSON Schema V1.0. The schema bundle updates as CBDT publishes revisions; existing users get the new schemas automatically on next visit.

What happens to the data I enter?

Free tier: nothing is persisted server-side beyond the request lifecycle — the JSON is generated and streamed back to you. Pro tier: client profiles you choose to save are encrypted at rest and visible only to your account. We never share filing data with third parties.
