ITR 1 or ITR 2 - which field in form 16 would determine whether the IT returns has to be ITR1 or ITR

ITR 396 views 6 replies

Sir/Madam,

For a person with only Salary income, I am looking for help to understand whether ITR1 or ITR2 should be used for filing returns.

I understand that if the income is more than 50L, then ITR2 is used. But not sure on what 'income' means here. And I do not know which row in the Form 16 would have to be >50L. There are several rows that has word as income in the document. Which of these would determine whether ITR2 is needed...

  • Section 1 (a): Salary as per provisions contained in section 17(1)
  • Section 3: Total amount of salary received from current employer
  • section 6: Income chargeable under the head "Salaries"
  • section 9: Gross Total Income
  • section 12: Total taxable income

Which of the above sections determine the amount that leads to ITR2 ?

Consider Sec. 12 Gross Total Income ...

You may consider the taxable income after considering all exemptions and deductions
I would leave it upto the utility.
i would fill itr1
the utility would itself notify me if i have chosen wrong itr.
Even if it salary , if taxable income exceeds 50lacs then ITR-2 is applicable

Thanks for the responses...

Just to confirm that it is Section 12: Total Taxable Income, value/amount that needs to be used for determining whether ITR 1 or ITR 2?

Total taxable income

Yes. Total Taxable Amount has to be considered for deciding ITR-2/ITR-1
