This discussion clarifies which Income Tax Return (ITR) type to use for the financial year 2024-25, specifically for individuals with Fixed Deposit (FD) interest and capital gains from mutual fund sales. Generally, if capital gains are within the taxable exemption limit, ITR 1 can be used. However, if capital gains exceed this limit, ITR 2 is the appropriate choice. The conversation also addresses a user's concern about employer details being requested in ITR 1 when there is no salary income, confirming it's not necessary to fill if there's no salary.

Thank you for your reply. But, ITR 1 is asking for employer details. But my wife is not employed Only bank interest and long term capital gains of Rs.86000 within taxable limit. While starting for e filing, only ITR 1 and ITR 4 only showing in drop-down menu. Last year I filled ITR 2 only. But it's not showing in drop-down menu

1. ITR 1 will be useful only if you are not liable for any taxable Capital Gains. 2. If applicable, no need to select employer as there is no salary income to be declared.
