Senthil
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti

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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Abhishek-I think ITR4S.
Abhishek
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 I haven’t withdrawn any salary or income from the partnership firm.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!
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Abhishek-Sorry, in that case use ITR5. I thought your own income is presumptive.

I am a student. I interned with a firm and they paid me after deducting TDS under Section 194J (professional or technical service).

sankarasubramanian
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.
Sankarasubramanian.
Basavaraj Tonagatti

I am a PSU employee and I also do share market trading, mostly delivery based but also occasionally intra day.
I had filed my ITR for assessment year 2015-16 on 31st Aug, 2015 and also had some refund.
I also started trading in 2014 and had some profit. But since i was new and did not have any idea so i could not declare my profit from share market.
I want to pay my tax for the income which i did not declare. I filed ITR-1. How to make a rectification? Which form should i file as revised form? Please help.

PALLAVI
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Pallavi-Form 4 is fine.
PALLAVI
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Debadrito Mukherjee

Hi Basavaraj,
In the assessment year 2016-17, I was salaried for 10 months and I then started my business as a professional. Can you guide me as to which ITR forms I should be filing? 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?

Rahul
Hello Sir,
Last year I had transferred some money to my wife’s [non working] account and she has earned interest [close to 45k after 10% TDS] on that money through FD. It would be great if you could help me with below questions:
1. How do I club her income in my IT return. Where exactly can i mention her income?
2. Can I directly add mine and her “income from other sources”? [the only source for “income from other sources” is FD interest for both of us]
3. Do I need to mention her PAN number anywhere in the ITR1 form?
4. After I club my wife’s income, how do I get the refund of the TDS which was deducted from my wife’s account?
Thank you,
Rahul
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rahul-It is lengthy topic, which I can’t explain here. You can go through the IT Dept link.

Manoj
Hi Basu,
Need some clarification!!
I am a salaried person and got a Form16. Also, I opened an FD account and closed in 1yr for which I got a TDS certificate (i.e. form16A) from Bank. 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.
Regards
MKS
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Manoj-Bank deduct TDS at 10%, but if your taxable income falls under 20% or 30% bracket, then you have to pay accordingly. If taxes due, then pay it.

Subhajit Balniyogi
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Subhajit-1) ITR1. 2) Not required. 3) Yes. 4) No other documents required.
Subhajit Balniyogi
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?
Subhajit Balniyogi
Under 80c deductions, only company PF(not PPF) contribution is shown.
Also, I have got acknowledgement for the submitted return.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Shubhajit-There is no rule that you must submit investment proof to your employer and must reflect in Form 16. You can show them while filing IT Return.
Subhajit
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Subhajit-You no longer submitting the proofs. But mentioning it.

Hi Sir,
My wife started trading last year and did intra-day trading & F&O trading. She incurred loss in that trading. She don’t have any other income. This is the first time she is going to file ITR. Which ITR to be used?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Kutumba-It is business income. Hence, ITR4.
Prijesh
Sir,
If i have got Salary Income. And i have got losses from share trading. Which ITR should i file ? ITR 1 is Salary Income that in know. But do i need to show my trading loss ? If no, is it ok to file ITR-1, right ? If i have to compulsory show, which ITR form should i file ?
thanks
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Prijesh-If trading is short-term in nature then it is considered as business income and you need to use ITR4.
Prijesh
Thank you Sir !! 🙂

I am director of a pvt company and receives professional fees from company u/s 194J. I also have a sole-proprietor business and that comes u/s 44AD as presumptive income.
1. Which ITR form to use for FY 14-15 since both professional and business income are there?
2. Which heading professional fees from company be shown?
3. Which heading sole-proprietor business income be shown ?
Thank you.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Aditya-1) ITR4. 2) & 3) Business or Profession income.
Aditya
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I have not maintained personal books of accounts for FY 14-15 year and have to provide balance sheet and P/L if file ITR 4. Can i file ITR 4s mentioning professional fees as Income from other sources and paying tax? Will there be any problem for filling ITR4s in such situation??
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Aditya-Please check the eligibility of ITR4S.
Rajeev
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Rajeev
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Rajeev
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
Rajiv

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

Hello Sir,
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rajesh-Gratuity will be treated as salary. Hence, you have to use ITR1.
Rajesh
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.
I read somewhere that if your exempt income is more then 5000, you should go for ITR 2/ITR2a,
Is that Gratuity not counted in exempted income.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rajesh-The exemtpion of Rs.5,000 is for agriculture income but not for Gratuity.
Rajesh
Alright!
If i have to go for ITR 1, Please let me know under which section, i should show the Gratuity exemptions.

Please note that during the year my Saving Bank Interest income was also less than Rs.1000.

Gurdev Saini
Dear Basavaraj,
Since last year I have been working as a Business consultant in India for a foreign company and I am paid retainer fee in $ (USD), there are few quiries regarding Income tax:
1. Form to be used – ITR4
2. Nature of business – What code should I select from (Instructions No. 7(i))
3. Since I work from my own home can I claim some rent towards its usage.
4. My wife helps me in my job, can I claim some deductions towards her salary.
Thanks,
Gurdev Saini
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Gurudev-Yes you are at right track.
Neela
Sir,
Its nice to see that you are taking the pains to reply to each and every1’s query. So good of U.
My query is that I am receiving professional fees (Consequently TDS u/s 194J @ 10% deducted) for contract with
my co. Hence I am supposed to file ITR 4. Right?????
But while filing ITR 4 – i am not able to claim my drawings from my capital account under deductions – drawings
being in the nature of house hold expenses – so kindly guide about the same.
The regular expenses are set off against the fees in the Income $ Expenditure acct. Right???
My other sources of income are interest from S. B. a/c and FD’s sometimes only.
Kindly suggest the course of action.
Thanks $ Regards,
Neela

I have take a TOP up Loan of 15 lacs. I have paid 8 lacs through check for LET OUT PROPERTIES.
Can I get benifit of interest of top up loan? for which i have paid 8 lacs for LET out ptoperties?
Under which column I can get benifit?
My second problem is….
Now we pay service tax on LIC premium….and PLI premium….
The whole amount (Premium +service tax..) can be shown for dedction for IT ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vijay-Under Sec.24 of Income tax you claim deduction of interest paid. You need to show the full amount not the break up (Premium+Service Tax).
Rajesh
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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?
Avik Mukherjee
Hi Mr. Basavaraj Tonagatti,
I’m Indian Citizen and In FY 2014-15 I worked in Singapore in a Singapore Based Organization and my Salary is in SGD and I’m also filling Tax over here in Singapore. Sometime I do remit some of my savings from SG Account to my Indian Savings Account.
I don’t currently any income in India other than few Quarterly interests in some Fixed Deposits. But the amount of that in a year is not above minimum Tax Slab.
Apart from this, in this FY, I did some Stock Trading in BSE/NSE, with F&O, margin etc… [As a Trader and not as Investor, viz. transaction squared of with in a Year] and my calculation so far suggest I had net lose (-ve gain) in total of all such stock transaction.
Also just for information, I’d like to mention that if I Log in to eFilling Website, in ‘Quick e-File ITR’ menu > ITR form Name drop down section I’m only getting choice of either ITR-1 or ITR4S
Could you please advise how should I proceed for filling ITR and if I need to mention loses in Short Term Capital and if yes then in which section.
Thanks in Advance….
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Avik-You have too many confusions. Hence request you to file return with the help of tax expert.

RR Prakash
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

Hi!
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.
How should I account for my income (PF Refund only) in the current FY? Which form should I use and how should I show my income?

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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

Thank you for your valuable response.

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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vinod-Please check whether the transport allowance to what extent it is exempted.

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

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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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).

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?

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?

Gangadhar prasad
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.

Hi,
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?
Your help and guidance on the above would be much appreciated.

S. Man
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
S. Man
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/-

vinod
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vinod-Thanks for your sharing.

Rohit
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?
rgds
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rohit-Yes interest income will be treated as “Income from Other Source”. What type of dividend it is?

K.R.Vasudevan
I am a senior citizen. My total income is as follows.
Pension @1712*12 20544
FD interest 125079
STCG (Equity) 3687
Total 149310
My total income is below exemption limit of 2.5 lakhs. So if it is necessary to file return ? If yes which form to be filled ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vasudevan-It is not necessary but in future if someone asks for your proof of income then this IT Return will be useful. You can use ITR2.
Swati

Shekhar Singh
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Shekhar-If your mutual fund and equity investments are like trader then you need to file ITR4, otherwise file ITR2.
Raj
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
sriniwas
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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Srinivas-Use ITR1.
Rajat Sharma
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
Rajat Sharma
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rajat-You have lot of confusions. But I will try to resolve it by providing a link about taxability of EPF. If you still have doubt then better to consult any tax expert of your area and get it done.

Sir,
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Harshalli-You can use ITR4. No your income is not considered as salary instead it is professional income.
Varun
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Varun-If you already filed correctly then why once again?
Varun
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.

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?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Ganesh-If one is let out then you can’t use ITR 1, as it limits to ONE property. Hence use ITR2.

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

Thanks in Advance.

Anand-I hope my latest post “Income Tax Return Filing AY 2014-15-Which forms to use?” will help you in this regard.

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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Jeevan-Whether that fixed sharing is from profit or salary?
Jeeva
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

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?

Pulkit-Really I don’t know as I file my ITR my own.

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

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.

how to save itr 2014-15 forms,the save option is available or not for 2014-15 itr forms
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Vamshi-I am unable to understand your doubt. Please elaborate more.
Rajan
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
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Rajan-Yes your understanding is correct.

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

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.

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

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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Muthu-I hope my earlier post “Tax Benefits of Life Insurance” will give clear idea about how life insurance is taxed.
