I beg to differ from Mr.Warrier in this matter. The Declaration / Verification signed by the assessee reads: "*I/We furtherdeclare that the tax *on my/our estimated total income including income/incomes referred to in column 16 *and aggregate amount of *income/incomes referred to in column 18 computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961, for the previous year ending on .................... relevant to the assessment year ..................will be nil. *I/We also declare that *my/our *income/incomes referred to in column 16 *and the aggregate amount of *income/incomes referred to in column 18 for the previous year ending on .................... relevant to the assessment year .................. will not exceed the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax."
"The maximum amount not chargeable to income tax " refers to the Gross Total Income before deductions under Chapter VIA and not the Net Taxable Income. If a person is liable to file ITR when his GTI exceeds the maximum exemption limit before deductions under Chapter VIA, the same set of rules is also applicable here. So legally your filing the Form 15G with GTI of Rs.2,95.000/- is wrong.
That said, the Department does not really follow up such wrong declarations as long as the income on which no TDS is made is disclosed in the ITR.
