Yes, It is advisable to file IT returns even when there is nil income.

Thanking you for fast reply. Previous year when working she gets 'Form 16' from the company and then file using it.

Now how she can file? Where to get Form 16 from for file return?

Since there is no salary, there cannot be any form 16. But you can use bank interest earned as income under the head of other sources.

Ok, thanks. Are you telling they have to get form on own and fill and send to IT dept.?

Filing IT return electronically is easy and a better option.

Ok, thanks for your wonderful help. I will look for filing online option.

When should we file return for this year?
