A senior citizen, typically filing ITR-1 with interest income, received a small dividend from a domestic company. They are seeking advice on whether to continue using ITR-1 or switch to ITR-2, especially to claim TDS deducted on the dividend. The consensus is that ITR-1 can still be used, and the dividend income should be declared under 'Any Other' income in Section B.
If a senior citizen, who normally files ITR-1, & whose primary source of income is interest income on Fixed Deposits receives Dividend (less than Rs. 10,000) from domestic company this year then which form should he fill? ITR-1 or ITR-2? (He has not sold or diluted his equity & has earned no capital gain).
Also, TDS deduction on the said dividend has to be claimed.

Seetharaman Sir, thank you. Should the Dividend income be filed in ITR-1 Section B :: B3 :: Nature of Income -> Any Other -> "Dividend"? Will that be enough to claim the TDS refund on Dividend in ITR-1?
