15 March 2018 According to income tax Act if your gross total income exceeds Rs. 2.50 lakhs (3 lakhs in case of senior citizen), you have to file ITR. Even if the tax is zero or all taxes are paid, the individual must file the return if the gross total income exceeds the basic limit.

16 March 2018 All taxable and non-taxable income needs to reported in IT return.
There is provision for this in ITR . Refer Exempt income section of ITR
