Why I built TaxSaral

Hey, I'm Sriram — and I built this site because I was frustrated. The Income Tax Act 2025 came out and suddenly everything changed — new section numbers, new rules, new everything. But the resources out there were either too dry, too technical, or just plain confusing. I figured if I was struggling to make sense of it as someone studying this full time, regular taxpayers must be completely lost.

So I built TaxSaral. No jargon. No paywalls. No login required. Just honest, plain-English explanations of what the law actually says — and calculators that do the math for you.

I did my articleship in Internal Audit and Forensic Audit at SPR & Co — which gave me a deep appreciation for how businesses actually work from the inside, how financial irregularities hide in plain sight, and why getting the numbers right matters more than most people think. After that, I had the opportunity to do my Industrial Training at IIM Bangalore, which pushed me to think bigger about how finance and tax education can be made truly accessible.

TaxSaral is still growing. More sections, more calculators, more explainers — all coming. If you're a CA student, a tax professional, or just someone who got a weird notice from the IT department and has no idea what it means — you're in the right place.

Tax doesn't have to be hard. That's the whole point.

How it's run

No login required. Every calculator and guide page is fully accessible without creating an account.

No data stored. All calculations run entirely in your browser. We never send your financial figures to any server.

IT Act 2025 only. Every section reference, slab rate, and form number on this site is sourced from the Income Tax Act 2025 as applicable to Tax Year 2026-27.

Not tax advice. TaxSaral provides educational information and calculation estimates only. Indian income tax law involves individual circumstances that cannot all be captured in a general-purpose calculator. Always verify with a Chartered Accountant before filing your return or making advance tax payments.
