ITR filing necessary for Senior Citizens?

506 views 8 replies
If gross annual income is below 7 lacs is it mandatory for Senior Citizens to file their ITRs.

It's claimed that there is no income tax to be paid by people having gross income below 7 lacs per annum. Please confirm.

for senior citizen below age of 75, the basic exemption limit is Rs 2.5 lakhs in new scheme. So the liability to file return gets triggered above this level of income. Any exemption and rebate is not to be accounted for while computing the liability to file the return or not.

 

Hence, in this case, the return should be filed.

What is Your reply...??

I cant understand what You tell.
Mandatory for citizens

Hi

If its in Pension and other income not crossing 7lak then not required to file the returns. 

194P will come in picture if he crosses 75 years age and with conditions applies.

If income crosses 7lak then tax will be calculated from 3 lakhs. 

 

 

could you please give legal reference for this view. The filing or return is not based on tax payable but Income level that is prescribed under 139 as the basic exemption limit. That stands at 3 lakhs today. Do not confuse between the liability to file a return with liability to pay tax. 

ITR filing is required

ITR should be file,when income exceed 3 lakh
