Privacy

To work out the tax, the application needs:

• the names and PANs of the buyers and sellers,
• whether each seller is resident in India,
• the address and type of the property,
• the agreed price and the stamp duty value,
• the dates of the agreement, registration and payment,
• the amount you are paying now and anything you paid earlier,
• optionally, a buyer’s email address and mobile number, because the government form asks for them.

That is the whole list. There is no account to create, no password to choose and no telephone number to verify.

In your browser, on this device. The web application keeps it in sessionStorage, which the browser discards when you close the tab. The browser extension keeps its copy in the extension’s own session storage, which is cleared when the browser closes.

It is not sent to a Maytrika server, because there is no Maytrika server in this product. The site is a set of static files; once the page has loaded, it makes no further network requests carrying your data. If that ever changes, this page changes with it.

A prepared transaction expires 24 hours after you create it, by default. After that the application refuses to use it and deletes it the next time it looks. You can choose a shorter life: 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours (default).

The extension also deletes its copy as soon as a form has been filled from it, so the data does not sit around after it has served its purpose.

Use the button below, or the “Clear My Data” button in the wizard and in the extension. Closing the browser also clears it. Nothing is retained anywhere else, so there is nothing to request from us.

The application does not ask for, read, store or transmit any of the following, and the extension contains no code that reads them:

• your Income Tax portal password or user ID,
• one-time passwords, MFA codes or e-verification codes,
• CAPTCHA responses,
• authentication cookies or session tokens,
• net-banking credentials, card numbers, CVVs or UPI PINs.

Fields whose name or label suggests any of the above are skipped on sight. Password inputs are refused outright, whatever they are labelled.

A browser extension can only touch the sites it lists in its manifest. Maytrika lists these, and nothing else:

• Income Tax e-Filing portal — www.incometax.gov.in, eportal.incometax.gov.in
• TRACES — www.tdscpc.gov.in, contents.tdscpc.gov.in
• Maytrika’s own pages, so the “Send to Maytrika Assistant” button can reach the extension.

It does not request access to all websites. It does not request permission to read cookies, browsing history or network traffic. On any other site it is inert — it is not merely switched off, the browser will not run it there at all.

There is no analytics script, no advertising pixel, no session recorder and no error reporter on the pages that handle your tax information. No third-party code runs there. The extension loads no remote scripts of any kind.

The extension has a debug mode, switched off by default, that you turn on yourself. Even then it writes only to your browser’s own console, and identifiers are masked before they are written — a PAN appears as ABC***34F, names as initials, and amounts only as an order of magnitude.

This is an independent utility from Maytrika Consultants. It is not affiliated with the Income Tax Department, and it does not replace advice from your chartered accountant.
