ITR-1 Return Filing
Income Tax · ITR-1 Sahaj

ITR-1 (Sahaj):the simplest return, used correctly.

ITR-1 is the simplest income tax return, for resident individuals with salary or pension, up to two house properties and other income, with total income up to ₹50 lakh. It is not for NRIs. It often suits parents and family members in India, and returning Indians once they are fully resident.
