03 June 2016 ITR 1 may be filed.
Since the person as resident and ordinarily resident for the financial year 2015-16, salary earned outside India( in this case Singapore) is taxable in India. However, the assessee can claim double taxation benefit/relief
Under the TDS section of ITR, a separate item is included for TDS outside India.
