The last date to file income tax returns in ITR-1 and ITR-4 has been extended this year to September 15 from July 31.
Who can use ITR-1 and ITR-4?
ITR-1 (Sahaj) is designed for resident individuals with income up to Rs 50 lakh from salary, one house property, interest, or pension.
ITR-4 (Sugam) suits individuals, HUFs, and firms (excluding LLPs) with income up to Rs 50 lakh from business or profession under presumptive taxation. These forms cater to a large number of taxpayers, simplifying the filing process for salaried individuals, small businesses, and professionals. They're user-friendly and efficient.
The ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms are filed by individuals, HUFs and entities with total income up to Rs 50 lakh a year and who do not have to get their accounts audited. Also, entities with long-term capital gains of up to Rs 1.25 lakh from listed equities can show such income in ITR 1 and 4. Earlier, they were required to file ITR-2.
For now, individuals requiring ITR-2 or ITR-3 forms will have to wait, as the current release only includes utilities for ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms.
