Who files ITR-2
Salaried people with capital gains, people with several properties, residents holding foreign assets, and directors of companies.
When
Filed after the financial year closes, on dates notified each year and extended more often than not — check the portal rather than a previous season’s article.
The thing people get wrong
The schedules are where returns go wrong: capital gains have to be split by asset and holding period, and foreign assets have their own schedule with serious consequences for omission. Keep the broker statements and reconcile before you start rather than during.
Where to get the current ITR-2
From the income tax e-filing portal. Income Tax Department (CBDT). We deliberately do not host a copy of any government form. They are revised without notice, and a stale file served from here would be worse than none — you would file it and find out months later.
The tools people need around ITR-2
ITR-2 is filed with the authority, not with us. What we do is the document work around it — the part where a payroll portal caps uploads at a few megabytes, or two certificates have to become one file, or a statement has to become rows you can total.

Can DiemDesk file ITR-2 for me?
No, and nothing here does. We are document tools, not a filing service. What we help with is the paperwork around the filing — combining certificates, compressing a scan under a portal's upload limit, turning a statement into a spreadsheet, or redacting an account number before you forward something. All of it runs in your browser.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. The in-browser tools open and rebuild the file on your own device, so a Form 16 or a bank statement never leaves it. Open your browser's Network tab and you will see no request carrying the file.
