Which itr form to be filed

This discussion addresses which Income Tax Return (ITR) form to file for the Assessment Year 2020-21 when an individual has received salary income from a company (with Form 16) and also earned income as a contractor without receiving a Form 16. While ITR-1 might seem possible by combining incomes, filing ITR-4 is generally recommended for clarity and accuracy, especially when dealing with contractor-based income or salary without a Form 16.
