The Indian income tax department has issued new ITR forms for the financial year 2022-23, which ask taxpayers for information on income from overseas retirement benefit accounts too. In a recent circular, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) announced the new ITR forms from 1 to 6. The CBDT has left the ITR forms unchanged, so there will be no changes to the ITR filing forms or rules. The rules will take effect from April 1, 2022.
ITR Forms
ITR form 1 or SAHAJ: This is for salaried individuals who do not have any other sources of income, such as long-term capital gains, and have an annual income of less than 50 lakh rupees.
ITR form 2: This is for those who are salaried and earn money from sources other than their business. In other words, taxpayers who do not have business income can file the ITR 2 form.
