Meet Sugan — a calm, tea-loving, ever-smiling young woman working as an assistant manager at a private bank in Chennai’s Kilpauk. Her weekdays are packed with excel sheets, customer calls, and lunch breaks filled with curd rice and sambar from the nearby mess. Like most working professionals, she thought she had everything figured out.
Every July, she would say:
“ITR? Piece of cake! I’ll just upload my Form 16 and I’m done!”
But this year… things didn’t go as planned.
☕ Morning Scenes & Missed Things
It was a breezy Saturday morning. Sugan sat in her balcony in T. Nagar sipping filter coffee when her phone buzzed.
📩 “Notice from Income Tax Depart
ment”
Her heart skipped a beat.
“Enna mistake panitten? I just used an online ITR portal like always!”
🧾 The Mistakes She Didn’t Know She Made
A quick call with her auditor friend revealed the 5 Big Mistakes she had unknowingly made. If you’re a salaried employee in Chennai like Sugan, you might be making these too:
1️⃣ Income Mismatch
Sugan hadn’t checked her TIS (Taxpayer Information Summary), AIS (Annual Info Statement), or Form 26AS.
Her ITR showed ₹8.5 lakhs salary, but AIS reflected ₹9.2 lakhs (including bonus). Instant mismatch = Red flag.
2️⃣ Forgotten Incomes
She had a small FD interest from a joint account with her dad. And she had also rented out a parking space. All missed.
She said,
“I didn’t know I had to declare those!”
Mistake #2: Ignoring side incomes = Red flag again.
3️⃣ Wrong ITR Form
Being salaried with rental income, she had to file ITR-2. But she filed ITR-1.
Result? Rejection + Delay in refund.
4️⃣ Claiming Without Proof
She declared Section 80G donation, but didn’t attach receipt number or PAN of trust.
“Aiyo, it was just ₹2,000 donation!”
Small amount. Big consequence.
5️⃣ Not Reporting High-Value Transactions
Her credit card bill for last year crossed ₹6 lakhs. She had gone on a family trip to Kerala and swiped for resort stays.
IT department’s AI system had flagged it.
“Did you spend more than your declared salary?” — the notice asked.
Scary? Yes. Common? Also yes.
💡 Enter: Wish Tree Consultants Pvt Ltd
Freaked out, Sugan googled:
“Best tax consultants in Chennai near Anna Nagar”
Right at the top, she found:
📍 Wish Tree Consultants Pvt Ltd
🗺️ 2nd Floor, A-Block 6th Street, Near Anna Nagar East Metro, Chennai – 600102
📞 81244 22221
From the first call, she felt a sigh of relief.
The team was warm, explained every section in Tamil & English, and even checked her last 3 years’ filings.
They didn’t just solve her current notice — they taught her how to plan her taxes like a pro.
“Wish Tree-le irundhu pesumbothu oru nambikkai vandhuduchu. I’m not just filing returns, I’m building financial clarity.”
🎉 A Happy Ending (and a smarter beginning)
Sugan’s case was resolved. She didn’t just avoid penalties; she also got a higher refund because Wish Tree Consultants noticed a housing loan interest she had completely missed earlier.
Today, she reminds all her friends and colleagues:
“Oru chinna mistake podhum… but oru correct advisor irundha, adhuvum solution kedayum!”
