ITR 4 not allowing deductions for private citizen

I am trying to file my income tax returns using ITR 4, I am finding that I am not allowed any deductions though I am a private citizen and not an employee of any organization. I am only being given the option of contribution to central government scheme by employer, under section 80 CCD (2) when I am not a central government employee. Is anyone else facing the problem and how to fix it?

Quick Summary
If you're filing your income tax return using ITR 4 and finding that deductions aren't being allowed, especially as a private citizen, the issue might be the default new tax regime. To claim deductions under Chapter VI-A (like 80C, 80D), you need to opt for the old tax regime. This involves selecting the old regime in the 'General' schedule and submitting Form 10IEA to opt out of the new regime. This is particularly important if you have income under PGBP.

If you wish to get any deduction allowed in chapter VI-A, like sec. 80C, 80D etc..; opt for old regime, in schedule General. (i.e. opt OUT from default New Regime.) & file form 10IEA.

Usually how many people are opting for the old regime and when is the form 10 IEA submitted ?

Who so ever find old regime beneficial, can opt for old regime,

As you have income u/h. PGBP, you need to file form 10IEA to opt out of new regime.
