ITR Filing for Salaried Employees in Noida — FY 2025-26 Guide

Gautam Buddha Nagar's commercial heart — Noida is Delhi NCR's largest IT and e-commerce hub, with a thriving manufacturing belt and India's biggest media production cluster. For salaried employees in Noida, Uttar Pradesh — whether you work in Sector 62 and 63 (IT Parks), live near Sector 18 (Atta Market), or are employed anywhere across the city — filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) accurately and on time is both a legal obligation and a financial opportunity. TaxAMC's CA team provides complete salaried ITR filing, Form 16 review, deduction optimisation, and refund tracking for employees across Noida.

1. Salaried ITR Filing in Noida — FY 2025-26 Overview

Salaried employees in Noida receive income under the head "Salaries" — basic pay, HRA, special allowances, bonuses, and perquisites. Your employer deducts TDS each month and issues Form 16 at year end. Filing ITR for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27) reconciles all this and allows you to claim any excess TDS as a refund. The deadline for salaried employees in Noida is 31st July 2026.

Noida's key industries — IT and software services (Sector 62, 63), E-commerce and D2C brands, Manufacturing (Phases 1, 2, 3) — mean salaried employees here often have diverse income sources beyond basic salary: performance bonuses, stock options, rental income, and investments. TaxAMC's CA team handles all these income types accurately.

2. Which ITR Form for Noida Salaried Employees?

ITR Form	Applicable For
ITR-1 (Sahaj)	Salary income, one house property, other sources (interest, dividend) — total income up to ₹50 lakh, no capital gains, no foreign assets
ITR-2	Capital gains from shares or property, multiple house properties, foreign assets or income, or total income above ₹50 lakh

Most regular salaried employees in Noida use ITR-1. However, if you sold shares, mutual funds, or property during FY 2025-26 — or if your salary exceeds ₹50 lakh — you must use ITR-2.

3. Documents Required for Salaried ITR in Noida

• Form 16 Part A and Part B — from your employer (available by 15th June 2026)
• AIS / Annual Information Statement — download from incometax.gov.in — shows all income and TDS
• Form 26AS — cross-check TDS credits
• Bank statements — interest income from savings, FDs
• Investment proofs — LIC, PPF, ELSS, NSC, health insurance receipts
• Rent receipts — for HRA claim (landlord PAN if rent above ₹1 lakh/year)
• Home loan certificate — for interest deduction under Section 24(b)
• Capital gains statement — from broker or mutual fund house (if applicable)

4. HRA Exemption for Noida Salaried Employees

If you live in rented accommodation in or near Noida, HRA exemption can significantly reduce your taxable income. The exempt amount is the lowest of:

• Actual HRA received from employer
• 40% of basic salary (Noida is a non-metro city)
• Actual rent paid minus 10% of basic salary

Keep rent receipts for every month and the rent agreement. If your annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh, your landlord's PAN is mandatory for the HRA claim.

5. Key Deductions for Noida Salaried Employees

Section	Deduction	Limit
16(ia)	Standard Deduction	₹50,000 (old regime) / ₹75,000 (new regime)
80C	EPF, PPF, ELSS, LIC, tuition fees, home loan principal, NSC	₹1,50,000
80D	Health insurance — self, family + parents	Up to ₹75,000
80CCD(1B)	Additional NPS contribution	₹50,000
24(b)	Home loan interest on self-occupied property	₹2,00,000
80TTA	Savings account interest	₹10,000

6. New vs Old Tax Regime — Which Saves More for Noida Employees?

For FY 2025-26, you can choose either regime. The new regime is the default — you must explicitly opt for old regime if it benefits you.

Old regime is better if your total deductions (80C + 80D + HRA + home loan + NPS) exceed approximately ₹3.75 lakh. This is common for Noida employees who rent accommodation, pay home loan EMIs, and invest regularly in 80C instruments.

New regime is better if your investments are minimal, you live in company accommodation, or your total deductions are low. New regime offers a higher standard deduction of ₹75,000 and simpler filing.

TaxAMC's CA team computes your tax under both regimes and recommends the one that saves more for your specific situation in Noida.
