If your total exempt income, such as an inheritance of ₹55 lakh, significantly exceeds your taxable income of ₹8 lakh, you may need to file ITR 2. This is because ITR 1 is not suitable when your aggregate income surpasses ₹50 lakh, even if the excess is exempt. It's advisable to use ITR 2 in such scenarios for accurate tax reporting.

Sir, My taxable income is 8 lac but I received 55 lac as nominee after death of my relative from bank, which I believe should be declared under Exempt Income as inheritance. Under this circumstance, should I fill ITR 1 or ITR 2.
