ITR-1 and ITR-4 at a glance

ITR-1 (Sahaj) is for resident individuals with income up to ₹50 lakh from salary, one house property, interest and up to ₹1.25 lakh of equity long-term gains. ITR-4 (Sugam) adds presumptive business or professional income under section 44AD, 44ADA or 44AE, and is also open to HUFs and partnership firms.

When you need ITR-2 or ITR-3

Use ITR-2 if you have no business income but have larger capital gains, more than one house, foreign income, unlisted shares or a directorship, or if you are an NRI. Use ITR-3 if you have business or professional income and cannot use ITR-4.

Forms for businesses

Partnership firms, LLPs, AOPs and BOIs file ITR-5. Companies file ITR-6. Trusts, political parties and institutions claiming exemption file ITR-7.
