26 July 2011 Hi,

Its been notified by CBDT that individuals having TI upto Rs.5 lac for FY 10-11 from single employer & having interest income upto Rs.10k are not required to file income tax return.

Its also said in the same notification that the scheme is not applicable to individulas other than mentioned above.

Is an individual who derives income from house property but still TI not exceeding 5 lac & TDS not deducted is also eligible under the scheme?
