Dear members, Please, urgent help regarding compulsory efiling of return having total income in excess of Rs.5 lakhs ( as per Itax website )
If I am having gross salary income of Rs.5,70,000 /= and after deducting prof.tax and transport allowance...
Income under Salary - Rs. 5,60,000 /= Interest Income - Rs.20,000 /=
Gross Total Income - Rs. 5,80,000 /=
and after claiming deduction under section 80C of Rs.80,000
Taxable Total Income - Rs. 5,00,000 /=
now as per compulsory efiling notification just want to know whether it means compulsory efiling to be done if a ) Gross Total Income ( including salary ) exceeds 5 lacs or
b) if Total Taxable Income exceeds 5 lacs (salary income less ded.u/s.80C )

The wordings used in proviso (a) to Rule 12(3) of the Income tax Rules,1962 is 'total income exceeds Rs.5 lakhs'..... In your case ,the toal income is Rs. 5,00,000/- hence, e-filing is not mandatory.
