This discussion clarifies Section 139(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, regarding the obligation to file an income tax return. While generally, only those with income exceeding the exemption limit must file, the first proviso introduces exceptions. Even if your income is below the exemption threshold, you may still be required to file a return if you meet specific criteria outlined in the proviso, such as holding assets outside India.
Every person who has a total income that exceeds the exemption limit is liable to furnish Income Tax Return within the due date. Any private, public, domestic or foreign country located and/or doing business in India.
As per first proviso even though your income is below exemption limit if you satisfy any of the conditions mentioned under first proviso to 139(1) still you are liable to file ITR.
