Agree with CA Shivang....

File return from this year...but it is not compulsory as the income does not exceed basic exemption before 80 deduction...

ITR return is to be filed when gross total income is more than exemption limit. It is advisable not to file return if income doesnt exceed exemption limit.

Moreover, in your case it seems you are considering gross receipt as taxable amount. But dear friend i would like to tell you that you can claim expenses in consideration to the income which you have earned as tution fees. This is only when Rs. 1.5 lac mentioned are gross receipts.

Dear friends,

Can you tell me under which section a person having the income below maximum expemtion limit file his/her ITR???

sudhanshu,

forms r not divided as per the income earned.. but it is divided as per income sources... since tution fees is a profession, ITR 4 would b used... also check.. there is no requirement of minimum income criteria on any form..!!!!!
