Check ITR1 on income tax Form ITR1 Instead of 1 house property we can show two house property income

For AY 2026-27, ITR-1 has been updated and now allows reporting of income from up to two house properties, provided the assessee otherwise satisfies ITR-1 conditions.

Therefore, the article mentioning two house properties is not necessarily wrong for AY 2026-27.

However, ITR-1 cannot be used if the person has business/professional income, total income above ₹50 lakh, brought-forward/carry-forward house property loss, foreign assets/income, is director in a company, holds unlisted equity shares, or falls under any other exclusion.

If the utility/portal is not currently showing the option or attachment facility, it may be due to portal/form utility not being fully updated. The correct approach is to wait for the updated utility or raise a grievance with the Income Tax portal.

Yes, ITR-1 for AY 2026-27 now allows two house properties. CBDT notified the updated form in March 2026, removing the old one-property cap. Fill Schedule HP for both properties and declare the annual value for any let-out or deemed let-out property. ITR-1 stays valid as long as total income is under Rs 50 lakh.
