Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications for an individual who paid a significant advance for a property before RERA, with the project now delayed and the advance being refunded years later. The user is transitioning from filing ITR 1 to ITR 4 and is concerned about how this refund, and potential interest, will impact their tax return. The advice provided clarifies that the principal amount is not taxable, but any interest received would be taxed under 'income from other sources'.

On receipt of principal amount there is no taxability, but if if interest is received on principal amount then it will be taxable under head income from other sources.
Change in ITR form will not effect right?
