CBDT notifies new ITR Forms for AY 2018-19

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, APRIL 05, 2018: In a way to reduce the compliance burden on the individual taxpayer, the Central Board of Direct Taxes(CBDT) has notified a one page simplified Income Tax Return Forms (ITR Form-1) for the AY 2018-19. This ITR Form-1 (Sahaj) can be filed by an individual who is resident other than not ordinarily resident, having income upto Rs. 50 lakh and who is receiving income from salary, one house property or other income (interest). Further, the parts relating to salary and house property have been rationalised and furnishing of basic details of salary (as available in Form 16) and income from house property have been mandated. A one page simplified ITR Form-1(Sahaj) was notified for AY 2017-18, which benefited around 3 crore taxpayers, who have filed their return in this simplified Form.

ITR Form-2 has also been rationalised by providing that individuals and HUFs having income under any head other than business or profession shall be eligible to file ITR Form-2. The individuals and HUFs having income under the head business or profession shall file either ITR Form-3 or ITR Form-4 (in presumptive income cases).

In case of non-residents, the requirement of furnishing details of any one foreign bank account has been provided for the purpose of credit of refund. Further, the requirement of furnishing details of cash deposit made during a specified period as provided in ITR Form for the AY 2017-18 has been done away with from Assessment Year 2018-19.

There is no change in the manner of filing of ITR Forms as compared to last year. All these ITR Forms are to be filed electronically. However, where return is furnished in ITR Form-1 (Sahaj) or ITR-4 (Sugam), the following persons have an option to file return in paper form:-

(i) an individual of the age of 80 years or more at any time during the previous year; or

(ii) an individual or HUF whose income does not exceed 5 lakh rupees and who has not claimed any refund in the Return of Income.

The notified ITR Forms are available on the official website of the Department.
