An ITR in English needs no translation
The Income Tax Department's return forms (ITR-1 Sahaj, ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4 Sugam and the rest) are filed on its e-filing portal, and the return, the acknowledgement and certificates such as Form 16 and Form 26AS are usually in English. If yours are entirely in English, a US agency, bank or lender can read them as they are and you need no translation. We would rather tell you that than translate English into English.
A translation is needed when part of your tax file is in Hindi or another Indian language: a Hindi stamp or handwritten endorsement, a municipal property tax receipt, a land revenue or agricultural income record from a state office, or a partnership deed or rent agreement on stamp paper in a regional language. We translate those documents or parts, note what was already in English, and certify the result. See our Hindi page.
ITR-V and the 30-day verification
Filing the return is not the last step. For returns filed on or after 1 August 2022, the return must be verified within 30 days of filing, either electronically (for example with an Aadhaar OTP) or by sending the signed ITR-V acknowledgement by speed post to the Centralized Processing Centre in Bengaluru. A return verified late is treated as filed on the date of verification, and one never verified is treated as not filed.
So a reviewer who asks for your ITR usually wants the full return and the acknowledgement showing it was verified. The acknowledgement number, PAN, dates and figures in rupees are copied exactly wherever a page needs translating. The employer's TDS certificate (Form 16), the annual tax statement (Form 26AS) and the Annual Information Statement (AIS) show what was reported and paid, and support the figures on the return.
Assessment year, tax year and the 2025 Act
Returns under the Income-tax Act, 1961 use two years: income earned in the financial year 2024-25 (1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025) is returned for assessment year 2025-26. From 1 April 2026 the Income-tax Act, 2025 replaces both terms with a single "tax year", the financial year itself. Income of 2025-26 still falls under the old Act and is assessed in assessment year 2026-27.
New forms came with the Income-tax Rules, 2026; Form 130, for example, succeeds Form 16 as the employer's salary certificate for later years. A five-year file for an EB-5 petition under 8 CFR 204.6(j)(3) will therefore mix old and new labels, and each document keeps the labels printed on it. Records also support E-2 and L-1 files. See Indian financial statements, tax documents and bank statements.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
My ITR, ITR-V and Form 16 are all in English.
Then you do not need a translation. Submit clear copies of the originals.
My return says assessment year 2025-26. Which year's income is that?
Income from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. If we translate any part of it, the year labels stay as printed.
I sent the ITR-V late. Is my return valid?
That is a question for your tax adviser. Officially, a late verification makes the verification date the filing date.
My father's agricultural income records are in Marathi.
Those need a translation. We translate them in full, stamps and seals included, and certify the result.
