Candidate income, shared with consent

With Greenflag by myutils.me, you send a request. The candidate signs in, syncs their own Income Tax records and chooses what to share. You get a read-only report of their salary, sales of investments and taxable income for up to five years.

Free for employers. There is no paid plan.

The whole flow in 30 seconds

From the request you send to the report you read, with the candidate choosing what to share in between.

  1. The employer enters the candidate's name and email, picks the income to request and sends it.
  2. The candidate gets an email and opens the request.
  3. They sync their data from the Income Tax portal and choose what to share.
  4. The request turns Completed on the employer's dashboard.
  5. The employer reads the shared income, year by year, with salary split by employer.

How a request works

Five steps, and only the fourth is the candidate’s. Nothing reaches you until they press Share.

  1. Step 1: Create your employer workspace

    Sign up, add your company details and invite your HR team as Admins, Members or Viewers.

  2. Step 2: Choose what you need

    Pick the categories, mark each one required or optional and choose 1 to 5 years. Ask for personal information too if you need it, and save the setup as a template.

  3. Step 3: Send the request

    Enter the candidate's email, and their name and PAN if you have them. They get an email with a link that works for 7 days by default, or for the 1 to 30 days you choose.

  4. Step 4: The candidate reviews and shares

    The candidate signs in with the invited email, picks a PAN, syncs it from the Income Tax portal, previews the exact figures and shares.

  5. Step 5: Read the shared report

    Follow each request on its timeline. Once shared, the income reads year by year in a read-only report, with salary split by employer.

What you can ask for

Every figure comes from the candidate’s own records on the Income Tax portal. Ask only for what the role needs.

Templates keep your usual categories and years. Each request has a timeline of every send, resend, open and share; the workspace keeps an activity log, and the request list downloads as an Excel sheet. Resend the email or renew an expired link, revoke when plans change, and let stale requests expire after 7 days by default, or the 1 to 30 days you choose.

What the candidate sees

Got a request from an employer? Sign in with the address it was sent to and open it from your verification requests.

View my requests
  1. Signs in with the invited email

    A forwarded link is useless to anyone else.

  2. Picks a PAN and syncs it

    With their own Income Tax portal login. If you gave a PAN, it has to be that one.

  3. Sees exactly what you asked for

    Who is asking, each category marked required or optional, and the years covered.

  4. Previews the figures, then shares

    Every required category is included; optional ones are their choice. Once shared, it cannot be withdrawn, and the page says so before they press Share.

Questions

What employers and candidates ask before their first request.

How does it work?

You create a request with the candidate's email address and choose which categories and how many years you need. The candidate gets an email, signs in to myutils.me with that address, syncs their records from the Income Tax portal, previews exactly what will be shared and presses Share. You then see it in your employer workspace as a read-only report.

Does the candidate have to give consent?

Yes. Nothing reaches you until the candidate presses Share. Before that they see who is asking, every category you asked for marked as required or optional, the years covered and a preview of the exact figures. Required categories must be included to share; optional ones can be left out.

Which details can I ask for?

Salary (split by employer), business and profession receipts, sale of investments and property, rent received, income from other sources, and total taxable income from the filed return, plus personal information (name, contact, date of birth, address, gender and the last 4 digits of Aadhaar). Everything except total taxable income comes from AIS/TIS. Sale of investments and property is the sale value AIS/TIS report, not the capital gain.

How many years can I ask for?

Between 1 and 5 years per request, 3 by default. Templates save your usual categories and years so your team doesn't set them up every time.

Can my whole HR team use the same workspace?

Yes, with three roles. Viewers can see requests, their history and shared reports. Members can also create, send, resend, renew and revoke requests. Admins can also manage the team, templates and company settings.

How do I know where a request stands?

Every request shows its status (Draft, Sent, In progress, Completed, Expired or Revoked) and a timeline of each send, resend, open and share. Links stop working after 7 days by default, and you can choose anywhere from 1 to 30 days for your company, a template or a single request. You can resend the email, copy the link to share it yourself, renew an expired link or revoke a request.

Why not just collect salary slips or Form 16?

Files can be edited before they are handed over. Here the figures come from the candidate's own AIS, TIS and filed return, synced inside the app from the Income Tax portal, rather than from a document they upload.

Can a candidate take back what they shared?

No. Once shared, the copy stays in your workspace and cannot be withdrawn. It reflects the candidate's records at the moment they shared and is not updated afterwards. Candidates are told this on the request page before they press Share.

Can myutils.me staff see the shared figures?

No. The income figures and personal information a candidate shares are visible only to your company's team.

I received a request. What should I do?

Open the link in the email, or sign in to myutils.me with the address it was sent to and go to Verifications. You'll need your Income Tax portal login to sync. You then review what was asked for, choose any optional categories and share.

Is it free?

Yes. Creating an employer workspace and sending requests on myutils.me is free. There is no paid plan.
