Key Income Tax changes for A.Y 2021-22

Hello readers, Today I will discuss key changes in ITR Forms for A.Y 2021-22 in simplified form-

♦ Regarding changes in ITR-1-

ITR-1 cannot be filed in case tax has been deducted u/s 194N

Now what is Section 194N-TDS u/s 194N is required to be deducted if amount of cash withdrawn exceeds –

• Exceeds Rs 20 lakhs in case of non-filers of return
• Rs 1 crore in all other cases

From banking company or co-operative bank or post-office from one or more accounts maintained by taxpayer.

If tax has been deducted u/s 194N, a person can file –

• • ITR 2
  • ITR 3
  • ITR 4

• • Tds dedcuted u/s 194 N cannot be carried forward-

♦ TDS deducted u/s 194N cannot be carried forward to subsequent years.

It means Credit for tax deducted u/s 194N can be taken in previous year relevant to Assessment year in which tax has been deducted.

♦ Option has been given to Individual or HUF as per Section 115BAC-

As you know from A.Y 2021-22 option is available to Individual & HUF whether to opt New Scheme or not . What is difference between old Scheme vs New Scheme you can refer my Article – ‘’New Scheme vs Old scheme –which is better option’’

So option is given to Assessees to select new scheme-Section 115BAC and required to file Form-10IE before filing the return u/s 139(1).

♦ Change in Schedule 112A-LTCG from sale of equity shareor unit of equity oriented fund on which STT is paid –
