Hi Experts,

That 5K limit is for aggriculture income only, you may proceed with ITR 1

ITR 2 should be return you should choose. User Z can you please share the relevant section of IT act , as far as i could remember if the exempt income is more than 5000 then ITR 2 should choosen so that the AO understand how much is your exempt income and of what type ?

 

Thnx

Sir that was prior to 1.4.2015 

1. Its specifically mentioned in instructions that  "Use ITR-2 or 2A, as applicable, if agricultural income exceeds Rs. 5,000"

2. Extract from https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/​

 

3. Relevant rule is Rule 12

 

12. (1) The return of income required to be furnished under sub-section (1) or sub-section (3) or sub-section (4A) or sub-section (4B) or sub-section (4C) or sub-section (4D) or sub-section (4E) of section 139 or clause (i) of sub-section (1) of section 142 or sub-section (1) of section 148 or section 153A  relating to the assessment year commencing on the 1st day of April, 14 2015 shall,—

[(a)   in the case of a person being an individual where the total income includes income chargeable to income-tax, under the head,—
(i)   "Salariesor income in the nature of family pension as defined in the Explanation to clause (iia) of section 57; or
(ii)   "Income from house property", where assessee does not own more than one house property and does not have any brought forward loss under the head; or
(iii)   "Income from other sources", except winnings from lottery or income from race horses [and does not have any loss under the head],
    be in Form [SAHAJ] (ITR-1) and be verified in the manner indicated therein:]
    [Provided that the provisions of this clause shall not apply to a person who,—
(I)   is a resident, other than not ordinarily resident in India within the meaning of sub-section (6)* of section 6 and has,—
(i)   assets (including financial interest in any entity) located outside India; or
 [ (ii)   signing authority in any account located outside India; or
(iii)   income from any source outside India; ]
(II)   has claimed any relief of tax under section 90 or 90A or deduction of tax under section 91; or
 [ (III)   has agricultural income, exceeding five thousand rupees; ]

 

On side note 

Clause (III) substituted by the Income-tax (Eighth Amendment) Rules, 2015, w.r.e.f. 1-4-2015. Prior to its substitution, said clause read as under :

"(III) has income not chargeable to tax, exceeding five thousand rupees;"

You are right on the money user Z . Thanks for the clarification .
