Why this matters for engineers (it, civil, mechanical)
Engineers form India's largest professional cohort — ~6 million practising. Most are salaried with Form-16, but a growing share freelance, contract or consult on the side (subject to TDS u/s 194JA, GST above ₹20 lakh, presumptive option under 44ADA). FilingLab handles end-to-end engineer tax — multi-source ITR, salary + freelance reconciliation, Section 80C / 80CCD optimisation, foreign-employer salary (deputation), and ESPP / RSU capital gains.
