Quick answer

This page is ITR-1. Capital gains, more than one house, or foreign assets stay on the ITR-2 page. A business with books stays on the ITR-3 page. Do not send the income-tax password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

What the form lists

Resident individuals with total income up to ₹50 Lakhs use ITR-1 when that income is salary or pension, one house property in single ownership, other sources such as bank interest or dividend, and agricultural income up to ₹5,000. It is the small salary and interest return.

The salary certificate is on the Form 16 page. The form list stays on the ITR forms page.

What it is not

Do not use ITR-1 when income exceeds ₹50 Lakhs, when there are capital gains from shares or property, when you are a director in a company or hold unlisted shares, when there is more than one house property, or when there are foreign assets or foreign income. Capital gains take you out of ITR-1. ITR-2 is the usual form when there is no business income.

Filing ITR-1 when you have business income is the wrong form. A proprietary business or profession uses ITR-3 or ITR-4.

Before the return is filed

  1. Send Form 16 and say whether there is a second house, a share sale, or any business income.
  2. The desk says whether ITR-1 is the form.
  3. You approve the draft. The filing stays on the income-tax filing page.
  4. You complete e-verification yourself. That step is on the e-verification page.

After the return is filed, e-verify within 30 days. The return is quoted before it is filed. The first discussion is free.
