The cap for filing return using ITR 1 is Rs. 50 lacs. It is mentioned as Total Income.

Whether it refers to Gross income or taxable income - after allowing exemptions under Section 10. For example, one's gross receipts are Rs. 54 lacs and after removing - say Rs. 20 lacs received as Gratuity as per Act, the taxable income would be Rs. 34 lacs only. In such case, whether he has to use ITR 1 or ITR 2. Pl clarify

As I understand, total income is the taxable income after chapter VIA deductions. So ITR1 would be appropriate here I think.

As I think act says that income above 50,00,000 /- can not file itr 1 with some other conditions along with it.
it does not specify , it should be after deductions.
it only says income above 50,00,000/-
so I think if income above 50,00,000/- along with other conditions, then itr1 cannot be filed
