Which itr v should i file for my wife for the income she has from tuitions she conducts at home.??????
very useful information
Today IT dept has added excel utility for ITR 2. If one is familiar with excel utility from last year this will be welcome.
This year only Java utility is available for filing Ereturn and I find it extreamly difficult. I am not able to file it in spite of trying for 10 days. Can anybody guide in detail as how to do it?
Though the article has been written precisely, any overworking Indian brain will have doubts galore. The need of the hour is CBDT should make life simpler by reducing rules to bare bones over a period of one year and make even a pan beeda wallah or even “Manishankar Iyer Canteen chai wallahs” do his ITRs comfortably without any hesitation or fear on line. Then the number of officials at the AAYAKAR Bhavans through out India could be also reduced and the huge ITO buildings which can be let out to fill Govt’s coffers. Thus as a corollary CORRUPTION AT HIGH LEVELS also could drastically curtailed.
One important point is that, even though the Individual is having salary income only but has income not chargeable to tax, exceeding five thousand rupees he cannot file the Return of Income in ITR-1.
The applicable form is ITR-2.
Since Income not chargeable to tax means any exempt income. It is amendment to Proviso to Rule 12(1)(a).
It is being complicated since for most of the salary cased conveyance allowance of Rs.9600 p.a. will be exempted and almost 90% of the Salaried Person should come under ITR-2.
filing itr-2 is cumbersome for a person who has incomr from salary/pension & bank interest BUT has exempt income from PPF interest more than 5000/-
Hi, I would like to know which ITR form should be use in case of Salaried person + long term capital gains (which is exempted) from tax.
ITR-2 is available or not for filing the return. I could not find in excel, although it appears to be available in JAVA type format. Whether excel will be available or assessee have to file in java. Please comment
I guess now ITRV has to be sent by Speed Post & not by Ordinary Post? Kindly
comment.
Nicely written. Only thing and that too important can be added is the ITR-V is to be signed in the manner (not black ink) explained in the incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and CAN BE SENT BY SPEED POST also.
One can file without any help from others ‘online’ by registering in the site (given above)for which pan and date of birth is required.
