The most of the confusion about income tax forms after Saral (Old Form) is choosing income tax form / ITR for one’s income. For example Suppose one has income from salary and interest income from banks. The form ITR1 will be used, but if having income from capital gain along with salary income then ITR2 will be used. So it is very important to learn how to choose appropriate ITRs / Income Tax Forms to file Income Tax Return. I have given instruction “which ITR form to use” one by one form starting from ITR1.
Form ITR1
ITR 1 is the basically for those
Persons
- Individuals
Income
- Income From Salary / Pension
- Income From Other Sources: Interest / Family Pension
So, ITR 1 is not for one who has
- Having Income from Capital Gain.
- Having Income From House Property (e.g. Rented out the Property)
- Having Income From Business & Profession.
