Overview ITR 1 Return Filing 

An Income Tax Return (ITR) is a form used by taxpayers to report their income, expenses, tax deductions, investments, and taxes paid to the government. Under the Income-tax Act, 1961, filing an ITR is mandatory in certain cases. However, individuals may also choose to file an ITR voluntarily for reasons such as:

  • Carrying forward losses to offset against future income
  • Claiming an income tax refund
  • Visa applications
  • Applying for loans from banks or financial institutions
  • Obtaining term insurance policies
 
 

Eligibility for Filing ITR 1 for AY 2024-25

A Resident Individual can file ITR-1 if:

  • Their total income for the financial year does not exceed ₹50 lakh.
  • Their income sources include:
    • Salary or pension
    • One house property (excluding brought-forward losses)
    • Family pension income
    • Agricultural income up to ₹5000
    • Other sources, such as:

  4. Income Under “Other Sources” That Includes:

Documents Required for Filing ITR 1

To file ITR-1, you need to download AIS (Annual Information Statement) and keep copies of the following documents:

  • Form 16 (provided by your employer)
  • House rent receipt (if applicable)
  • Investment payment receipts (for claiming deductions)
  • Premium receipts (for insurance or other eligible claims)

However, ITR forms are annexure-less, meaning no supporting documents (such as investment proofs or TDS certificates) need to be attached when filing—whether manually or electronically. However, keep these records handy for reference in case of assessment or inquiries by tax authorities

Precautions While Filing ITR 1

  • Choose the Correct Tax Regime – Opt for either the old or new tax regime based on what benefits you the most.

  • Verify TDS / TCS / Tax Paid – Download AIS and Form 26AS to check actual tax deductions. If discrepancies exist, reconcile them with your employer, tax deductor, or bank.

  • Organize Key Documents – Keep bank statements, passbooks, interest certificates, investment proofs, and receipts

  • Check Pre-Filled Details – Ensure PAN, address, contact details, and bank account information are correct in the pre-filled data.

  • Select the Right ITR Form – Choose the correct ITR type (ITR-1 to ITR-7) based on your income sources.

  • File on Time – E-file before the due date to avoid late fees, loss of deductions, and exemption benefits.

  • Verify the ITR – After filing, e-verify your return or send a signed physical copy of the ITR-V Acknowledgement to CPC, Bengaluru 560500 within the deadline if verifying manually.

Precautions to Avoid Issues While Filing Your ITR

To ensure a smooth tax filing process and avoid delays in receiving your refund, follow these precautions:

  • Link Aadhaar with PAN to avoid filing complications.
  • Pre-validate your bank account where you wish to receive your tax refund.
  • Select the correct ITR form as filing an incorrect form may result in your return being marked as defective.
  • File your return before the due date to prevent penalties and interest charges.
  • Verify your ITR promptly—e-Verification (recommended) is the fastest and easiest method.
  • Respond to any notices from the Income Tax Department (ITD) within the specified timelines to avoid legal or financial consequences.
