Dear Sir/Madam,

Today I was looking for information to decide the ITR form to file.

My income is only from interest on deposits & bonds. I was under impression that I must file

ITR-1. But on Internet I found that ITR-1 can not be filed if exempt income is more than Rs. 5000/- & ITR-2A

can be filed only if I have Salary Income. So, I am confused which form to file?

I started filling Form ITR-2A. But it seems filling details in Schedule OS 1d are mandatory even if income from

the heads is 0. In fact none of the heads in 1d (5BB,115A(i,ii etc) are applicable to me but Calculate Tax does

not allow to leave 1d(1,2,3,4,5) empty & I have to select heads forcibly & randomly with Income 0. This does not

look proper to me. Kindly suggest ASAP.

Can you send me a link which provides detailed information about filling or leaving different Schedules & their

sub sections.

Kindly reply ASAP.

Thanking you. Best regards, RAKESH

Mr.Rakesh, you have to file itr2 . This Income Tax Form (ITR Form 2) can be used by Individuals or HUF whose Total Income includes:-
Income from Salary/Pension, or
Income from House Property, or
Income from Capital Gains, or
Income from Other Sources
This Income Tax Form (ITR Form 2) can be used by all individuals specified above but cannot be used by Individuals earning Income from Business or Profession.

Dear Mr. Harshal,

Thank you for your reply.

I guess I can file ITR-2A instead of ITR-2A because I do not have incone from Capital Gain?

If possible, kindly reply remaining portion of my query too which I am reproducing below for your convenience:
