Filing income tax returns (ITR) is an essential responsibility for taxpayers in India. It allows individuals to report their income, claim deductions, and ensure compliance with tax law. Individuals who have been subjected to search and seizure operations by tax officials can now file updated returns under section 153 C on the basis of self-assessment of their unreported wealth in ITR-1, according to the new rules.
In February, the CBDT also announced modifications to the ITR-1 form regarding disclosure under Section 139 (1), which is filed voluntarily by individuals with yearly taxable income of less than Rs 2.5 lakh. Even if their fixed deposits surpass Rs 1 crore, these individuals will not be compelled to disclose this information on their ITR forms.
