  1. Sir,

    My main income is salary from private company with tds under 192.

    I also have received payment (around 1 lakh per year as multiple small payments) for adhoc online professional/technical services, and they have deducted tds under 194J.

    Can I file ITR form 1, as my main income is from salary, and show the above amount from professional services as income from other sources?

    Please guide me. Thank you.

  2. My wife is getting income from only on house rental 3L p.a which form i need to use to submit IT returns. is that ITR-1

  3. My wife has part time tuition income of apprx 2 lacs p.a. during FY 15-16. Can I show her income as income from other sources and file ITR1

  4. I have individual business income (video production). We also started a partnership firm in Feb 2016, and want to file presumptive income for that. We didn’t withdraw any money from that. So do I need to file my individual return as ITR-5 and partnership as ITR-4S? Do I need to file two returns?

      1. Thanks for your reply. But what about my personal income. I normally file ITR-5, but this year we made the partnership firm too. I haven’t withdrawn any salary or income from the partnership firm. So that’s what I wanted to ask. If my income from business done on my personal name and interest, would be filed under ITR–5 and then another ITR-4S for the partnership firm. My personal income is not on presumptive basis, only the partnership’s income is on presumptive basis. So I am a bit confused.

        Thanks!

  6. I am a student. I interned with a firm and they paid me after deducting TDS under Section 194J (professional or technical service). I also have winnings from a competition with TDS deducted under Section 194B. Is it fine for me to fill ITR-2 and declare my internship income as from other sources or should I have to fill ITR-4? ITR-4 seems very complex.

  7. Sir, My son has paid the premium for he health insurance of my wife and for myself by means of a bank cheque. But the health insurance company has issued separate receipts in the name of my wife and in my name. In short the insurance company has not issued receipt showing the name of my son in both receipts. Instead the insurance company has issued receipt in my wife’s name and in my name. Whether my son can claim 80 (d) with these receipts for health insurance or he has to insist the insurance company to issue receipt in his name for the payment of premium paid for his parents. I request clarification in this regard.
    with regards.

  23. Hello,

    I am a practicing doctor. Last 1 year I was doing part-time consulting for a firm who has cut the TDS of professional fees and filled under TDS-2 form. This I just confirmed online. I was also receiving salary from a hospital this last year. My CA filled both these Income under TDS-1 category from salary (Schedule S ) of Form 4. I asked him he said it will not be a issue.

    Can you please confirm if this is ok or do I need to claim this professional fees in some other Schedule of Form 4?

      1. Thank you for the reply Mr.Basavaraj.

        My question was if its ok that the professional fees paid (which the firm has filled as TDS-2 ) is filled along with my hospital salary under Schedule S or does this professional fees need to be filled in separate schedule than the hospital salary?
        If separate schedule which one under Form 4?

        1. Pallavi-There is nothing such thing that we can called as TDS 2. Please note that you have salary income and professional income. Hence, for you ITR4 is the form to file return. TDS done against professional fees must be mentioned against professional fees. No confusion here.

  24. Dear Sir,
    I am a software personnel in contractual govt. job. In which para of ITR-4 shall I enter my salary which I earn as professional fee? Please suggest!!!

In the e-tax portal there are just two options ITR-1 and ITR-4S against my PAN. The recent budget launched the presumptive taxation scheme for professionals as well. But I am assuming these will be applicable from the assessment year 2017-2018 right?

So wanted to know, is it necessay that I need to submit the Form16A while filling. Since I noticed that while filling it is asking me to pay more tax when bank has already deducted the tax from my interest.

  55. I have constructed a house 10 years back and taken loan. I have claimed income tax benefit of both interest and principal. Now I have extended my house and taken loan again. Can I claim income tax benefit again? Pls suggest

  56. i am a public sector employee with regular income ..along with that i do stock trading ..which ITR form need to be filled . Kindly suggest

  57. Sir,
    I work in Pvt sector Organisation. Company has issued me the Form16 also. But, my organisation has deducted more taxes than actual as it does not include my savings/exemptions e.g. LIC premiums & PPF. So, I am entitled for a refund.
    Also, in my 10 year old PPF account, the interest paid in the FY2014-15 is Rs.60000/-.
    Now, my query is:-
    1. Which ITR is to be filed?
    2. Is my interest in PPF account is to be shown as income? If yes, in which column?
    3. There is a single column for 80c exemption in the ITR-1. Shall I need to put the summed up amount of 2 LIC premiums and PPF in that row? Or there should be separate columns? I have downloaded ITR-1 and found it as only one single row there.
    4. Other than return what are other documents that are needed to be submitted and how? Eg. if I reqd. to submit LIC premium receipts, PPF statement, then where and how on Income tax website?

      1. Thanx for your clarification. After your clarification, I have just uploaded the completed ITR-1. And also got the EVC by netbanking. Now, my query is as the 80c) deductions are not shown in my form16 and I have checked in TRACES also, how my refund request will be processed without any proof submitted by me as of now like LIC receipts and PPF account statement?

        1. Under 80c deductions, only company PF(not PPF) contribution is shown.
          Also, I have got acknowledgement for the submitted return.

          1. Thanx for the clarification.
            But, in filing IT return I’m showing the investments, but there is no way to submit the proof of them during filing the return. That was my question how to submit the investment proof during filing return or will there will be any system that the proofs might be enquired at later stage

  61. I have worked in India till Nov 2014 and TDS was deducted from my salary. Now I have moved to Senegal. The company pays the taxes (I am calculating the tax paid based on the details given by our finance/ accounts deptt). Since I stayed more than 182 days in India, I am considered a resident and so I will be taking tax relief under section 91 (there is no DTAA with Senegal). I have also got some money from LIC P&GS deptt against superannuation and earned interest in savings bank account in India. Please guide me with following queries
    1) Which ITR form am I required to fill?
    2) Where do I show the money received from LIC P&GS?
    3) Is it ok if I show the approx income tax deducted by my present country (Senegal)?
    4) Do I have to club my salary in India and salary abroad, under SALARY?

    1. Rajeev-1) Use ITR1 2) I don’t know the LIC and GS details. Hence, hard to predict and say whether they are exempt income or taxable income. 3) Approximate will not work out. 4) That you have to discuss with employer as I don’t know your employer is from India or aborad. Also, I am not aware on which status they sent you to other country.

      1. Thanks a lot for your reply.

        1) I am in Senegal as an Expat in a company registered in Senegal (not Indian). Since I am already paying income tax here and am still considered a resident (more than 182 days in India), I need to claim relief against section 91. ITR1 has no such provision for relief under section 91. Does this make ITR2 applicable?
        2)The money from LIC P& GS (Pension & Group Schemes) is against the 1/3rd that I asked for lumpsum when withdrawing superannuation money from my ex-employer in India. This was sent to my account by LIC

        Thanks

        1. Rajeev-1) It is mandatory to file return if you are claiming exemption under Section 91. I think you should show this in exempt income.
          2) Commutation from pension is taxable income.

          1. There is a separate sheet called FSI in ITR2 where the foreign income is mentioned and the relief under section 91 is entered. In that case, will ITR2 be the correct form to fill?

            Further, there is a sheet called OS in which income from other sources is entered. I want to know where in that sheet will I enter the pension from superannuation and under what head?

            Thanks

  62. Hi Sir,
    Which ITR form should I use. I have following:
    – Salary
    – Employ stop option. I have purchased some stocks which was provided as employee stock options.
    – Some interest from saving account

      1. Thank you.
        So the difference of current price of the stock and the price at which I purchased will be considered as salary.. right?

        Thanks

    I was working in a company since last 7 years, few month ago i have changed my job and joined another company. I got some amount as a Gratuity from last company. Please let me know which ITR form i should fill and under which section i should show the Gratuity amount.

      1. Hi Basavaraj

        Thanks for quick respond.

        If i have to go for ITR 1, Please let me know under which section, i should show the Gratuity exemptions.

      1. Hi,

        When I try to file the online ITR1 I cant see Sec 24 at all to fill the interest charged on housing loan? Will that be under gain from housing property and be negative. Please let me know
        Also can we claim 80 EE then but then there will be two deductions for same interest paid.

        1. Rajesh-You find it under deduction. Sec.80EE conditions are as below.
          Purchaser should be first time buyer. i.e. he has never purchased any house and now he is going to purchase a house. Value of the house should not more than 40 lakh. Loan taken by Individual for the purpose of buy a house should not be more than 25 lakh. On the date of sanction of loan individual does not have any own residential house property. Loan for this purpose taken by individual should be from the Financial Institution or Housing Finance Company. For this purpose, loan should be sanctioned between 01.04.13 to 31.03.14.
          Whether you eligible for these conditions?

  130. Dear Sir,

    I am a tax payer professional working in a private organization. My wife, who is non working house wife, has received a sizable amount thro’ cheque as gift from her mother, who is a tax payer. Further my wife has already some investment in Bank and post office FD thro’ her own savings out of the cash I am giving for house hold expenses, occasional cash gifts from her father / mother etc. Till now she has not filed income tax returns for the interest earned.

    My question is, any gift tax is applicable. If she invests this amount again in bank FD, should she start filing income tax returns separately showing all the interest income earned (existing + new FD), even though it will be well under IT ceiling. Which form she should use for filing income tax returns.

    Weather clubbing provision is applicable in this case or her income can be treated separate and income tax returns can be filed separately.

    Regards

    1. Prakash-For your wife gift is from mother. Hence it is not taxable. But it must be in written like in a simple gift deed. Yes once she start to earn from this gift amount then it will be taxable in your wife’s hand. Source of income must be important to club. So first understand her income then decide clubbing applies or not.

    This year my income is only the PF refund that I received in this year after resigning after 9 years of continuous service. While I resigned in the previous financial year, I withdrew my PF in the current FY. I understand that the income is tax exempted but I need to declare the same in my IT Returns.

  141. Dear Sir,
    I am having income from home tuition. my income is 1.5 lac per year. which itr form i should fill. I want to fill itr for previous 3 years. so what is the procedure.

  142. sir, I started trading in equity and F&O from September 2013. I did not know that I have to file a IT return for losses. So I missed filing loss in 2012 to 2013 . in this current year from 1st April 2014 to November 21 I made a loss of 1,09,320 Rs . can u please guide me how to fill form . can I do it on my own or CA is compulsory ?

  143. Thanks for response. Many experts say that even a normal salaried person gets more than 5000 rs as allowances like travel al, conveyance al, HRA , stitching al, which r exempt from tax . so most of the people comes under ITR 2 .

    1. Krishnakant-Please cross check yourself the definition of exempted income to the salary allowance you are pointing. I think you confused yourself. If you are not understanding it then better to consult your nearer tax expert.

  144. Sir , I am a salaried person and working in Maharashtra and living in ‘Rented’ house . sir I want to e fill my belated IT return .My query is which form should be used if my exempted income which is TA and CA is 18000. secondly what I should fill up in the box ‘Resident’ or ‘Resident but ordinary’. Sir I am the resident of Bihar.

      1. Sir. Kindly explain why not ITR 2. In some blogs I read if exempted income is more than 5000 (which includes TA , CA and HRA) require to fill up ITR 2

        1. Krishnakant-I am not aware about your exempted income. So if the case is so then you can use ITR 2. But not forget to check once again the said deductions will form part of it or not.

  145. Hi,

    I am a housewife. I am earning money by doing Tailoring (part time) and giving tuition (part time). what ITR should be used. Also can i file returns for last 3 years now? My earning didn’t reach more than 1,50,000/- any year.

    -Sowmya

    1. Sowmya-Both are considered as business income. So use the forms accordingly which mentioned above. If your earnings are less than specified minimum limit then it is up to you either to file or not.

  146. i have a monthly income from agriculture of rs.25 lacs. i want to file itr as banks ask for itr copies for huge loan requirements. people say me i do not have to pay tax because agriculture income is exempted. however if i want to file itr how can i file.

  148. Hi, While updating details in the ITR-2, I am supposed to make additional tax payment. The same was as I changed my job and didn’t declare my previous co’s salary. Request you to please guide which form am I supposed to fill for making the tax payment, is it Challan No / ITNS 280 or 281.

    If form 280 what should be the payment type, is it Self Assessment Tax or Tax on regular assessment.

    Looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

    which form should i fill online.

      1. But Sir, while filing return for AY 2014-15, we can only visualise two forms i.e., ITR 1 or ITR 4S.. So what should we do…..? Which ITR ?

  151. Whether exemption of Rs. 2 lakhs for house loan (interest) is applicable to the person who has taken house loan in the financial year 2014-15 (A/Y 15-16) OR applicable to all the other personnel who had taken house loan in the previous financial years like 2012-13 and 2013-14 etc.

  152. Hi Sir,

    I am a government employee (Indian Army). My salary include all allowance (like transport allowance) as shown in form 16 (not exempted). How can I claim exemptions for these and which ITR form should I file and where to mention these exemptions.

    Thanks,
    Vinod

      1. Hi Sir,

        Thank you for your valuable response. I have query, suppose my income under head salary in form 16 is 300000 ( including transport allowance ) and lets say my annual transport allowance is 19000 and I want to claim this exemption. Should I mention the income from salary as 300000-19000 = 281000 in the ITR-1 form. And where I mention the exemption for transport allowance.

          1. In my pay slip its 1600/- PM. But I think as per income tax dept. only Rs 800/- PM is exempted.

  153. Dear Mr. Basavaraj,

  154. I am a salaried employee. I have filed ITR – 1 on time. After filing returns, recently, I have received a ledger document(in MS Excel form) from my broker, containing the loss that I incurred in Options and shares trading. Now, I want to file revised returns to include this loss. Please clarify below questions.

    How I can show this loss in revised returns?

    Is this ledger document enough for me as a proof for future references?

    1. Shiva-First understand whether you did that as a trader or investor? If you did those as a trader then it will be considered as business loss otherwise capital loss. Also remember that such loss can’t be set off against your salary income. Business loss need to be set off against all source of income except salary income. Capital loss-LTCG can be set off against LTCG only but STCG can be set off against STCG or LTCG (Not to other source of income).

  155. i have not filled my ITR-I till now. Can i file the ITR now and what should i select in the section “How the return is filed” i.e 139(1), 139(4) etc?

  156. sir,
    I am a sahara agent having income from commission but i m not able to find the column in ITR 4 to indicate my income. so kindly help me out.

  157. If i have income from tuition fees only(part time) can i fill ITR-1 and put it in other sources? Because it is specifically mentioned on Income tax site that ITR 1 is only when you have income from interest or family pension under the head income from other sources

  158. MY TOTAL TAX IS 800000 AND MY PPF IS 65000, HOW MUCH IS EXEMPT INCOME AND WHICH ITR UNDER IT COM ES . I M GOVT EMPLOYEE

  159. Q no. 1- If a person have received income from a commercial property , in which head of which ITR return will be shown.
    Q no.2 – If source of income is tution ( part time at home ) ( to educate students ) , in which head of which ITR return will be shown.

    1. Gupta-Income from commercial property falls under the income head of “Income from House Property”. If your earning from tution is part time then you can show it under the income head of “Income from Other Source”.

      1. Q. Total Income is less than Rs. 1.00 lac ( one lac) in following heads including Bank’ interest and no other income except following & Bank Interest .Please tell me ITR return Form no. and last date of submission of filing return for A.Y. 2014-15.

        1. Gupta-You can use ITR1. Because you have income from one house property and income from other source. Last date to file the income return is today i.e 5th August 2014.

  160. Dear Basavaraj,
    First i appreciate for all the guidance you are providing to everybody. Now coming to my issue, i am a salaried employee with only income from salary and my Gross total income is below the slab rate. But my Form 16 shows that the EXEMPT INCOME u/s 10 is greater than Rs 63600/-( Transport all 9600, Travel all. 30000 Uniform all. 24000)., which ITR form should i go for?

  161. I am a salaried employee, part-time LIC agent and also stock trader. Last year I have received Rs. 81755 towards LIC commission and expediture Rs. 21650. Also I have loss of Rs. 131042 in F&O and Rs. 1374 as short time capital loss from equity. How can I show LIC commission? Should it be ‘Income from Other Sources’?. Do the F&O loss is set-off after income from LIC agency. How much F&O loss I can carry forward?

    1. Raju-You need to show your agency commission under head of business. Also your loss in f&o are treated as business loss. STCL is for equity-Whether you invested in stocks as trader or investor?

      1. Sir,
        Sell/purchase of shares as trader, you can say. Short term basis (shares sell around 6 months of their purchase etc. not long term investment). Sell/purchase regulary not for very long period. This is on personal basis and not by making any firm. Pls reply on these basis.

Since, today is the last date, reply me ASAP.

        1. Ramkumar-Whether that consultancy is like job or like freelancer? If it is like freelancer then you need to treat that as profession along with your normal job. Hence file with ITR4.

  165. I am repaying Home Loan and also staying in same home. Interest rate is more than 1.5 Lakh. Where to mention this while filling ITR, I am filling it online? Could I get reply soon, today is last date of filling the same.

    I am a salaried person and have taken a home loan and paying interest on that to the bank. The Flat is still under construction with the builder and possession is expected in June 2015. Please advise:

    If I have to make provision for the interest paid in the current year, in ITR 2 under CFL sheet (Carried Forward to future years) as this couldn’t be adjusted as possession is not there OR I just need to accumulate that amount (without mentioning that in the ITR2 in the current year) and can claim the adjustment for the entire amount in one go in the year when the possession would be provided?

  170. Dear sir,

    i m a senior citizen having income from insurance commission, pension and professional fees and interest on fd. which ITR i m supposed to use.?

  171. I am Salaried person & also part time lic agent i am confuse to file the ITR return form ITR-4 or ITR-4Sugam

    kindly suggest me which form I will filed urgent

  172. Basavaraj,

    Few question regarding the ITR1 exception clause – “Income from Agriculture/exempt income in excess of Rs.5,000”:

    a) What constitutes “exempt income”?
    b) Should interest on savings bank (SB) account less than Rs. 10,000 (and hence not taxed) and interest on PPF account be considered as “exempt income”?
    c) What about PPF amount? If my income sources are only salary and interest on SB & PPF account, and my PPF contribution is 1 lakh (which is greater than Rs. 5000) should I use ITR1 or ITR2?

    Thanks.

    1. Man-There is separate calculation for agriculture income. Exempt income constitute huge list. Please google it for the same. Yes savings bank interest less than Rs.10,000 is exempt under Sec.80TTA. You too can consider PPF interest as exempt. If your exempt income is more than Rs.5,000 then ITR2.

      1. Thanks for the reply, Basavaraj.

        I wish our IT dept. simplifies the IT sections. They took a right step in mandating online filing and simplifying the returns filing. But they have now muddled the waters with this exempt income clause.

        Anyways, your pointer regarding PPF interest clarified things for me. It is ITR2 since my PPF interest is more than 5000/-

  173. i m a senior citizen having income from LIC as insurance commision, and professional income only..which ITR i suppose to use..? please reply early..

    2. ok thank you sir..but actually i forget to write..i have also pension income and interest income on fd..so in total i have income from Pension+LIC insurance commission+professional fees+Interest on FD..then whether i require to file ITR-4 or ITR-4s or ITR-1..?? little bit confusion..

        1. Sir,
          As per my knowledge, Sec. 44AD is not applicable on a person having income from coommission or brokerage or having any agency business..
          So, I think ITR 4S is not the right choice for person instead ITR 4 is the right choice

  174. I am a salaried person, I have 1 property and let out for rent at chennai, paying EMI. Currently staying in Mangalore paying rent (so income from other source property minus interest on home loan is eligible for Tax benefit?). Also let me know which ITR to use, ITR1 or ITR2?

  175. I am a govrnment emloyee.i took home loan last year.my income is below 5laks..for showing home loan interest which ITR form should i fill?

  176. Dear Basavaraj,
    you have been amazing in answering queries of people – this is great. thanks for your help in advance i have three queries
    A) income from saving interest – should it be shown as other income in ITR 1 if the person has other salary income below 1,00,000?
    B) income from fixed deposit interest – should it be also shown as other income?
    C) is there a need to show income from dividend anywhere in ITR 1 or would one have to fill ITR 2 for it?

  180. I am a salaried person with bank interest and income from mutual & equity short term investments.
    Which ITR form do I need to fill to file Income Tax Returns?

  181. Does a housewife whose income from any other source is nil, and made a loss of 1 lac Rs on F&O trading, needs to file IT returns ? She trades F&O actively.
    Following 2 opposing points are causing confusion. Please clarify
    1) Her total income is below exemption limit of 2 lacs, so she should not have to file taxes
    2) Since F&O trading is classified as business income, and any business has to file tax irrespective of profits or losses, so a housewife who made a loss from F&O trading, will have to file taxes.

    1. Raj-Filing will be advantage for her. Because she can set off her losses with other source of income (except salary). But the source of amount she bought for trading must be explainable. Otherwise it will create problem for her.

  182. Dear Basavaraj,
    First i appreciate for all the guidance you are providing to everybody. Now coming to my issue, i am a salaried employee with only income from salary and my Gross total income is below the slab rate. But my Form 16 shows that the EXEMPT INCOME u/s 10 is greater than Rs 5000/-, which ITR form should i go for?

  183. Hi,

    My name is Rajat Sharma. I am filling my Income Tax Return at the moment but have gotten very confused due to some reasons. I need your help.

    I am not working at the moment and left my job in 10th January-2014. In my last job, I worked for 1 year and 10 months from 30th April-2014 – till 10th January-2014 (KEC International Limited) and prior to this company I worked for General Electric and there also I worked for 1 Year and 10 months (from 14th July 2010 – till 20th April 2012).

    So the total working time for is less than 5 years.

    When I changed my Job from GE to KEC, I got my PF amount of GE (around INR 1.13 Lakhs) transferred to KEC PF account, so I did not have to pay any tax on this. But now when I left KEC, I applied for PF amount withdrawal and I received an amount of around INR 1.70 Lakhs, which was a total of my GE’s PF amount and KEC’s PF amount and a TDS of INR 4,655/- was deducted from my total PF amount to be received, which as per KEC officials, was only deducted from the PF amount earned during my working in KEC and no TDS was deducted from my PF amount from my working in GE.

    Now, when I checked my Form 26AS from Income Tax website, it shows 2 TDS deductions from me, one is the TDS deducted from my salary earnings during this year by KEC International Limited (TAN No. MUMK14211B) and second is the TDS deducted by KEC International Limited Provident Fund (TAN No. MUMK14909G), from the PF amount withdrawn by me.

    I have TDS certificates for both.

    Now I am confused what should I do and how should I fill my ITR?

    Q.1. Should I consider the entire PF amount (GE + KEC), while filing the ITR or should I consider only the amount earned in KEC?

    Q.2. Should I consider only my contribution to PF or should I include the employer’s contribution to the PF also in the ITR?

    Q.3. Can I add my PF amount with the salary amount of the year or should both the amount be shown separately and procedure for ITR should be as is for two Form-16s?

    Please help, I shall be highly thankful to you for your support. In case, you need any other information, please let me know.

    Thanks

    I am working in health ministry totally on contract basis & getting consolidated income.
    For the same an outsourcing agency give us salary by cheque.
    The agency not giving us any Form 16 or 16A.
    My question is:-
    1- Which ITR should be used.
    2- Is my Income comes in Salary or it comes in profession.

  194. Sir,
    I have filed ITR-1 regarding salary which contains other component like exemption for Conveyance allowance and HRA. I have no other source of income except saving bank interest. My conveyance and HRA allowance exemption exceeds Rs. 5000. Whether should I revise the return and file ITR-2.

      1. Sir actually i have doubt regarding exempt income. We will consider HRA and Coveyance allowance under exempt income or not? And in my case both are exceeding Rs. 5000.

        1. Varun-HRA exemption depends on how much rent you pay actually and it is separate calculation. Regarding conveyance allowance either Rs.800 per month or actual expenses you incurred (need to submit proof) will be exempt.

  195. I am working on contract with a software company as consultant and company has provided a Form 16 with Income as Rs 190000 and deducted 10% tax. Please let me know which ITR to be used for efiling.

    Please help me with ITR form to be used.

    Regards
    Rajesh

        1. Rajesh-It is already mentioned above that ITR 1 will be applicable to those who are salaried and who have income from ONE house property. So you can use the same.

  208. I have 2 houses (both are joint ownership with my wife who is not working). For the second home I would like to claim interest on home loan which is more than 1.5L. Both houses are not let out. Can I file using ITR1 by selecting the property as letout and claim the interest which is more than 1.5L (as I’m not receiving any income from the first property)? or should I file using ITR2?

  211. I am a salaried employee with PSU with no other source of income. However salary components like HRA, conveyance allowance etc. amount in excess of Rs. 5000 annually. Whether to use ITR-1 or ITR-2 ?

    Further I have a PPF account, whether interest accrued therein requires me to file a return using ITR-2 ?

    1. Snigdh-You can use ITR-1. No need to mentioned accrued interest of PPF as it is tax free. Your HRA and allowance will not matter which IT form to you. Instead the source of income matters.

  212. Dear Basu,

    I have home loan, for which I am re-paying the amount. In my form-16, it is mentioned the loan interest amount as loss from house property and that amount is deducted from my gross salary. While I am filing tax returns through online, where I need to mention the same amount? Can I mention as negative amount under Income from one house property OR I can mention my total income after deducting the loan interest amount.

    Regards,
    Sridhar

    1. Sridhar-Home loan interest payment will not be considered as loss. Instead you need to get deduction upto Rs.1,50,000 per year under section.24. If you still have confusion then please contact tax expert of your CA who can help you in this matter.

  224. My Doubt is an individual, Indian residence, runs a Partnership firm (2-Partners), Both are sharing fixed sum of 20000/month – as monthly income from their earnings, in which ITR form they have to file their return (They does not have any other income).
    Thanks

      1. The Fixed sharing of Rs.20000/- is from their Profit earned, and the balance sum is retained for the development of the firm / business / business expenses. The Firm has a separate PAN, My doubt is as an individual which form they will have to use for filing the individual return.
        Thanks

  225. Hi,

    I am a salaried person and have always filed my return online(from cleartax.in or investmentyogi). Actually I used to put my details there and download the final xml file from these website and finally uploading into income tax website.

    but now cleartax doesn’t give xml file but only generate the ITR-1 pdf. So my question is there any other website which generates the xml file?

  228. Hi Basu,

    I like to understand which ITR form to use whilst filing returns for Assessment Year 2014-15 (FY 2013-14).

    I have income from Salary + short-term capital gains (equity / mutual funds – profits booked within a year) + daily margin trading in equities (gains – delivery of shares is not taken).

    My wife is not employed – but, she also has the gains/losses in short-term capital gains and daily margin trading.

    Please advise – (a) if I have to file separate returns for my wife and I, or one return combined for both of us; (b) which ITR form(s) to use.

    Cheers,
    Siva

    1. Siva-From your comment we can arrive that you have income from Salary+ Income from Business or Profession. So you can use ITR-4 form, same applies to your wife too. But you need to file it separately.

  229. how to save itr 2014-15 forms,the save option is available or not for 2014-15 itr forms

  230. Please confirm if my understanding is right: For a doctor running a clinic: It is mandatory for him to maintain books and also he cannot use form ITR 4S but needs to file ITR – 4

  231. Dear Basu,

    I would like to get it clarified in terms of ‘Income/Loss from house property”. What is this all about?
    I bought a flat and now paying emi for that. It s self occupied. Is there any implications for this under the above said clause?
    I decided to file the returns by my self for me and for my wife this year. So far our company has hired a third property for filing the returns for the employees.

    Regards,
    Saravanan

    1. Saravannan-Income from property in the sense not your own residential property but a let out property or any earnings from property. In can your case it is not applicable.

    2. There are 3 sections of Income tax under which the individual is benefited in case of housing loan:
      1. Sec 80C – principal repayment up to Rs.1,00,000 (This is a part of all other investments allowed under 80C)
      2. Sec 24B – For self occupied property interest up to Rs.1,50,000 & for let out property interest without any limit.
      3. Sec 80EE – another new section (applicable for FY2013-14 only) with certain conditions to claim interest up to 1,00,000 in addition to Sec 24B

  232. If a person has received money in the bank from her mother, the source of which is the insurance proceeds received out of her father’s demise, which form should be used.
