Income Tax Returns Forms 1 to 7 for A/Y 2020-21 Notified.

1. Passport

One needs to disclose the Passport number if held by the taxpayer. This is to be furnished both in ITR 1-Sahaj and ITR 4-Sugam. Hopefully, it will be made mandatory in other ITR Forms as and when they are notified.

2. Cash deposit

For those filing ITR 4-Sugam, it has been made compulsory to declare the amount deposited as cash in a bank account, if such amount exceeds Rs 1 crore during the FY.

3. Foreign travel

If you have spent more than Rs 2 lakh on travelling abroad during the FY, you need to disclose the actual amount spent.

4. Electricity consumption

If your electricity bills have been more than Rs 1 lakh in aggregate during the FY, you need to disclose the actual amount.

5. Investment details

Details of investment qualifying for deduction under chapter VIA with bifurcation of details of investment made during the period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020.

6. Due Date  

The last date for filing tax returns is July 31 for non audit cases. However, for this year ITR filing date has been extended till November 30, 2020 due to pandemic Covid-19.
