Schedule EI is in ITR-2, right? How can we mention this exemption in ITR-1 (Online)?

Thanks.

Part C.... Last column .....

Exempt Income: For reporting purpose .... Drop down provided in e-filing utility mentioning nature of exempt income, relevant clause and section ....

Thank you. So, as I had guessed, it is only available in offline utility for ITR-1 & not available in online form.

This sucks, Why would they overlook such a common deduction in ITR-1 (Online)!

We generally prefer offline, whereas the query is also based on offline utility.

I don't think the column would be missing in online utility.

Sir it is missing in online filing .

Really, shameful.

If you wish to declare the income under Exempt Income, prefer offline utility.

I found the Exempt Income section in ITR-1 (Online). Leaving it here for others.

It is at the very bottom of the Gross Income Section. You can select "Others" in the Exempt Income Section & then mention how Post Office SB Interest income can be exempted and under which section.
