Income of teachers on contractual basis

This discussion explores the correct Income Tax Return (ITR) filing for teachers employed on a contractual basis in private institutions. The consensus suggests that if the income is treated as salary for private placements, ITR-1 might be applicable. However, if the contractual nature implies a less direct employer-employee relationship, ITR-3 or ITR-4 are likely more suitable, as ITR-1 and ITR-2 may not apply.
