ITR Forms

ITR Forms

ITR stands for Income Tax Return. ITR forms are the forms that taxpayers in India use to file their annual income tax returns with the Income Tax Department. There are several types of ITR forms available, depending on the taxpayer’s income sources, income amount, and other factors.

The different ITR forms include ITR-1 (SAHAJ), ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4, ITR-5, ITR-6, and ITR-7. Each form has a specific purpose, and taxpayers must choose the appropriate form based on their individual circumstances.

ITR forms require taxpayers to provide details about their income from various sources, including salaries, business income, capital gains, and more. They also require taxpayers to provide information about their tax deductions, investments, and other financial details.

Once the taxpayer has filled out the appropriate ITR form and submitted it to the Income Tax Department, the department will process the return and calculate the amount of tax owed or any refund due.

ITR-1 (Sahaj)

ITR-1 (Sahaj) is the simplest form among all the ITR forms and can be filled by individuals who have income from salary, pension, or income from one house property, and have total income up to Rs. 50 lakh. The following are eligible to file ITR-1 (Sahaj):

  1. Individuals who have income from salary or pension.
  2. Individuals who have income from one house property.
  3. Individuals who have income from other sources, such as interest income, family pension income, etc., provided the total income does not exceed Rs. 50 lakh.
  4. Individuals who are residents of India.

However, individuals who have income from capital gains, business or profession, or who have more than one house property, are not eligible to file ITR-1 (Sahaj) and must use other ITR forms.

ITR-2

ITR-2 form is applicable to individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who have income from sources other than business or profession. The following are eligible to file ITR-2:

  1. Individuals and HUFs who have income from salary or pension.
  2. Individuals and HUFs who have income from house property.
  3. Individuals and HUFs who have income from capital gains.
  4. Individuals and HUFs who have income from other sources such as interest income, family pension, etc.
  5. Individuals and HUFs who are not eligible to file ITR-1 (Sahaj).
  6. Individuals and HUFs who are not eligible to file ITR-4 (Sugam).
  7. Non-resident individuals or HUFs.

It is important to note that individuals and HUFs who have income from business or profession are not eligible to file ITR-2 and must use other ITR forms such as ITR-3 or ITR-4.

  7. Individuals and HUFs who are not eligible to file ITR-2.

It is important to note that if an individual or HUF has income from business or profession exceeding the presumptive income limit, they are not eligible to file ITR-4 and must use other ITR forms such as ITR-3. Also, LLPs and companies are not eligible to file ITR-4 and must use other ITR forms such as ITR-5 or ITR-6, as applicable.

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
