Hi, I was an NRI for the FY 2017-18 (moved abroad at the end of April 2017 and returned in April 2018), received the salary in India for April 2017 before I moved abroad for work for which TDS was deducted as well (I need to get this refund since my salary received in April 2017 was way less than the exempted limit). Since my status was NRI, I understand that I need to use ITR2 for filing. But, in the income tax website, I do not have an option to fill the details online when I choose ITR2 (the option is there for ITR1) and I only get the upload X M L option. How do I use it and how do I get the X M L which I can edit and upload?

Thanks in advance,

Online ITR2 filing cannot be done, you have to download the utility from https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/downloads/offlineUtilities?lang=eng and fill it offline, generate X M L and upload it.

Thanks for the information. Since my income was there only for a month, it is less than the exemption under chapter VIA deductions (it is there in my Form 16) and hence I am getting an error in the utility saying that "Salary disclosed in income details is less than 90% of salary reported in Schedule TDS 1."

Can you advise what needs to be done here? Should I remove the chapter VIA deductions when preparing the return?

Thanks and Regards,
