Brief on Applicability of Income tax return (ITR) form for Financial Year (FY 2019-20)/Assessment Year (AY) AY 2020-21
All the taxpayers are mandatorily required to file their ITRs electronically except individuals over the age of 80 years who have the option of filing the ITR in paper format as well. First step would be to identify the tax return form applicable for an individual taxpayer. On 29th May 2020 CBDT has notified the new ITR forms through Notification No. 31/2020 in exercise of the powers conferred by section 139 read with section 295 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. These rules may be called the Income-tax (12th Amendment) Rules, 2020.
