MyTaxLocker - Tax Filing

Prepare your Income Tax Return without the spreadsheet headache. MyTaxLocker turns Form 16 PDFs into a ready-to-upload ITR-1 or ITR-4 JSON in about 15 minutes — without you typing PAN, employer details, salary breakdown, TDS or deductions by hand. Built by MaxLeaf for salaried employees, professionals, and small business owners in India.

MyTaxLocker is an independent software product by MaxLeaf. We are NOT affiliated with the Income Tax Department of India or any government entity.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Form 16 auto-extraction — upload your PDF; we parse Part A and Part B, populate every wizard step, and let you review before generating the JSON.
• ITR-1 (salary, one house, other income) and ITR-4 (presumptive business under sections 44AD / 44ADA / 44AE) — both supported.
• Old vs New regime comparison — see your exact tax liability under each, side-by-side, before you choose.
• Deductions assistant — section 80C, 80D, 80CCD(1B) NPS, 80E, 80GG, 80G donations. Live limit-checking so you can't accidentally over-claim.
• HRA optimiser — built-in calculator with rent receipts and Form 12BB generation.
• Encrypted document vault — Form 16, salary slips, investment proofs, all stored encrypted with AES-256 in your AWS Mumbai region. Only you can decrypt them.
• Save & resume — the wizard remembers where you left off, even after closing the app or switching devices.
• Submit to a CA — choose to upload the JSON yourself to the income-tax portal, OR hand the return to one of our verified Chartered Accountants for review.
• Sign in with Google — create or access your account in one tap, no long sign-up form.
• Free income tax calculator — estimate your liability instantly, no sign-up needed.

PRIVACY & SECURITY
• On-device PDF parsing — your Form 16 is never sent to any cloud for OCR. We do it inside your phone.
• AES-256-GCM encryption for PAN, Aadhaar, mobile number, and bank details before they leave your device.
• Biometric login — fingerprint or face.
• Compliant with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA). Right-to-erasure honored: a single tap deletes every record, every backup, every encrypted blob.
• No advertising SDKs. No third-party trackers. Crash reports scrub PII (PAN, Aadhaar) before it leaves your phone.


LANGUAGES
Available in English plus six native Indian languages: हिंदी, বাংলা, తెలుగు, தமிழ், ગુજરાતી, मराठी. Every label, every error message, every tax-section title.
