An accountant earning a monthly salary of Rs. 18,000 is seeking advice on whether they need to file an Income Tax Return. They also inquired if they could include their mother's rental income and annuity payments in their return, and if filing an ITR would help secure a housing loan. The advice given was that the accountant does not need to file an ITR and cannot declare their mother's rental income on their own return.
