In ITR1 , there is a section for type of house property. It support three values.

- Personally I am not owning any house or let-out any house property.

- Staying with parent and house is owned by my parent. I am also not paying anything to them as a rent.

What should I choose ?

Quick Summary

When filing your ITR1 and you do not own a house property, nor have you let out any property, you should leave the 'Income from House Property' section completely blank or set it to zero. This section is only for individuals who own property and are declaring rental income or claiming home loan interest. Since you don't own the property, this section is not applicable to you.

What to Choose: Do not select any option. Leave the entire "Income from House Property" section completely blank or set to zero.
Why: The House Property section in ITR-1 is strictly meant for property owners declaring rental income or claiming home loan interest deductions. Since you do not own the property, it does not apply to you.
