How do I verify a CA is legitimate?
Check the CA's ICAI membership number at icai.org/members. All practising Chartered Accountants must be ICAI members in good standing. Never share your income-tax portal (incometax.gov.in) login credentials with anyone.
Can a CA file my ITR without sharing my portal password?
Yes. A registered CA can file your ITR through their own authorised e-filing access or as your authorised representative. You should not share your portal password. You will receive the ITR-V acknowledgment directly on your registered email from the IT department.
Do I need a CA for a simple salaried ITR?
If you have only salary income, one house property, and standard deductions โ ITR-1 is simple enough to file yourself on incometax.gov.in for free. You need a CA when you have capital gains, multiple income sources, foreign assets, or receive a tax notice.
Is this directory free for taxpayers?
Yes, completely free. FreeCalc does not charge taxpayers for searching or contacting CAs. We do not take any commission from CAs either. This is a free public service to help taxpayers find verified professionals.
