What Easy Return does

Easy Return (legally EASY RETURN INC) is a Patiala, Punjab-based proprietorship that operates an online Income Tax Return e-filing platform for Indian individual taxpayers. Founded by Chartered Accountant Sagar Batra, who has 10+ years of tax and compliance experience, the company provides CA-assisted ITR filing for salaried employees, small business owners, freelancers, pensioners, and — most distinctively — gig-economy delivery partners working with Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit, and Rapido who seek TDS refunds. The platform is officially authorized as an E-filing Return Intermediary under ERI Licence No: ERIP010294 and is MSME-registered (UDYAM-PB-17-0094648).

The product is delivered through an Android mobile application distributed on the Google Play Store (com.app.fskindia) and a web portal at app.easyreturn.in, which integrates with the Income Tax Department's e-filing system. Core features include a six-step guided filing workflow (Sign In, Add PAN Details, Select Income Nature, Submit Order, Executive Contact, File After Discussion), instant TDS verification via PAN, post-filing support covering ITR verification, notice handling, refund tracking, and rectification, plus free utility tools (TDS check and refund status). Data is protected via advanced encryption under stated privacy protocols.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and transactional, not subscription-based. Pricing is segmented: ₹199 (+ GST) for delivery partners and ₹499 for salaried and business customers per ITR filing; revised returns are ₹499 and online CA consultation is offered as an add-on. Ancillary paid services include project reports for bank loans and Income Tax Clearance Certificate assistance. Marketing is mobile-first and organic, relying on app store listings, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest), and an educational blog targeting tax-related search intent. The company claims cumulative outcomes of 1,50,000+ clients served and ₹400+ Crores in TDS refunds facilitated. Headcount is 11-50 employees, and the business is entirely bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding.

Direct peers
