In regard of filing return


This query is : Resolved

11 August 2013 Please advise if my parents (both of them are senior citizens) have to file returns for FY 2012 - 2013. Since my parents stay in Uttarakhand so the last date to file returns is 31 Oct 2013
1. My mother is retired (senior citizen) so she is getting pension. Plus during the FY 2012 – 2013 she received interest from fixed deposit which was more than Rs.10000. Her total income is less than Rs.2,50,000 for FY 2012 – 2013.
2. My father is also retired (senior citizen) and during FY 2012 – 2013 the only source of income for him was interest from fixed deposit which was again more than Rs.10000 but total income is less than Rs.2,50,000 for FY 2012 – 2013.
Is it mandatory for them to file returns in the wake of new directive ie Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has made it mandatory for salaried individuals earning up to Rs 5 lakh annually to file income tax returns

11 August 2013 It is advisable to file the returns of both.

11 August 2013 Since both are senior citizens and the income is below exemption limit it is not mandatory to file the return but as stated by Paras Sir, it is advisable to file the return in both cases more so if any TDS to be claimed as refund.
