new Delhi. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued new ITR Form-1 to 7 for filing Income Tax Return (ITR) sometime back. Of these, ITR Form-1 and 4 (Form-1 and 4) are currently available for filing online returns. When ITR-1 and 4 were issued in January 2020, it was said that if a couple has a house or flat with a joint name, they cannot file returns from these forms. Now this restriction has been lifted. According to the new rule, if a couple has only one house with a joint name and their total annual income is up to Rs 50 lakh, then they can fill the returns with these forms.
Those with two or more residential properties will have to fill this form
According to the CBDT, people whose income is more than 50 lakh and have income from more than one house property, then they cannot fill ITR through Form-1 and 4. In fact, nowadays, if husband and wife are working, then it is common practice to buy more than one house in joint name. With this, the couple can avail tax exemption on home loan. There is an exemption under Section 80C on the payment of the principal of the home loan. A discount of up to Rs 1.5 lakh can be taken on this. Apart from this, relief of up to 2 lakh rupees can be given on interest. Now, a couple owning more than one house or flat will have to file ITR through Form-2.
