You can file ITR 1 & ITR 4S online (without using the excel ITR file). In this post, I am providing step-by-step guide to file these returns on Income tax efiling website.  As the due date for income tax is 31 July, you need to make sure that te returns are file on time. From April 2018, tax rules have changed and a penalty of upto Rs 10000 will be levied if the return is not filed on time. Also, the ITR revision time limit is also changed from 2 years to 1 year.  See details 

Filing returns on Income tax wesbite is completely free and easy.
