Hi Sneha,
As a law student, the most practical way to learn Income Tax Return (ITR) filing is through an internship with a Chartered Accountant (CA) firm, tax consultancy, or accounting and compliance firm that handles individual and business tax compliance.
In my experience, tax filing is best learned through hands-on exposure rather than short-term courses alone. During an internship, try to work on PAN registration, Form 16 analysis, AIS/TIS reconciliation, capital gains computation, TDS provisions, and preparation of ITRs under different categories. This will give you a strong understanding of both the legal and practical aspects of income tax compliance.
Since you already have a legal background, developing expertise in direct taxation can be a valuable addition to your profile. A mid-sized CA firm with a dedicated income-tax practice would generally provide better practical exposure than a large firm where interns are often assigned limited tasks.
My suggestion would be to prioritize practical internship experience under a tax professional and use certification courses only as a supplementary learning tool. - Setindiabiz
