ITR-1: Income from other sources

Why are you focussing on ITR2/A??? ITR1 is more than enough for this. Keep is short and simple.

I have been told that ITR-1 is only for salaried person and those having income from salary & Interest (both) can fill up this form. But if a person is neither presently serving nor retired and has only income of INTEREST has to file ITR-2. This year there are TWO types:- ITR-2 and ITR-2A. So which one is applicable?

Rule 12(1)(a) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962:
.
In the case of a person being an individual where the total income includes income chargeable to income-tax, under the head—
.
(i) "Salaries" or income in the nature of family pension as defined in the Explanation to clause (iia) of section 57; or
.
(ii) "Income from house property", where assessee does not own more than one house property and does not have any brought forward loss under the head; or
.
(iii) "Income from other sources", except winnings from lottery or income from race horses and does not have any loss under the head,
.
be in Form [SAHAJ] (ITR-1) and be verified in the manner indicated therein:
.
Provided that the provisions of this clause shall not apply to a person who,—
.
(I) is a resident, other than not ordinarily resident in India within the meaning of sub-section (6) of section 6 and has,—
.
(i) assets (including financial interest in any entity) located outside India; or
.
(ii) signing authority in any account located outside India; or
.
(iii) income from any source outside India;
.
(II) has claimed any relief of tax under section 90 or 90A or deduction of tax under section 91; or
.
(III) has agricultural income, exceeding five thousand rupees;
