Monika Rungta, a Chartered Accountant and CEO of eLagaan.com, said that the number of TRPs is much smaller than required and people face lot of difficulty in locating or contacting them.

Moreover, in many cities and villages, there are no TRPs available. Now it will be very easy for every body to get the required help from eLagaan.com free of cost.
Monika says that many persons, who fall within the exempted income limit and those on the border line, are not filing their returns thinking it to be cumbersome and remain satisfied with their tax deducted at source by the employer. It will be beneficial for them to file their returns, as they can take advantage of tax laws for deductions and find it wiser to adopt savings as a habit and even get refund of TDS. Many persons do not file returns of their wives and children and in their Hindu Undivided Family files, do not know that by filing returns of their wives, children and HUFs, even if it is not within taxable limit, they can also bring on record their additional source of income, which may be very high sums on a cumulative basis. If they start filing returns, this problem will be greatly solved.
eLagaan plans to launch various financial, tax planning and related services in near future and aims to be a 1 stop solution for all tax related needs.
So fill It… file It... forget It and leave all your tax worries to eLagaan.
