Re: Which form?
Hi Rajesh,
You have income from salary, income from business and profession and income from capital gains.
Therefore, you should use ITR4.

ITR and more than one (multiple) Form 16
Hi Raag,
I went thruogh your profile, its amazing you are doing all this as a hobby, really great, there are very few people who does this kind of community service, you are surely one of them, great and keep it up.
My query is regarding filing of income tax and form 16.
I filed ITR for 08-09 alright. In april 08 I joined a new company and left this company in Feb 09. Now, my query is that my previous employer is supposed to provide me with form 16.
I submitted all the investment proofs to them in Dec 08 for that purpose, but would that be enough to file ITR, since I am working with another company now since Feb 09.
I am really confused, should I file ITR on the form 16 provided to me by my previous employer, but that would not include all the income till March 31.
In short,what options do I have in this situation ?

Re: ITR and more than one (multiple) Form 16
Hi Amit,
Thanks a lot for the very kind words.... Encouragement like this keeps me going! Please do let your friends and family know about this website!
For filing the ITR, you need full details of your income. If you have worked in two companies, this means that you need Form 16 from both the companies - only then, you would have the full salary for the year.
But I don't understand your problem - you are saying that the old company would issue you a form 16. Your new company would anyway issue you a form 16.
So, you would have form 16 from both employers - which means there is no problem.
A point to note: Please note that you are not supposed to submit any documents (form 16, investment proofs, etc) along with your ITR. These are to be presented only if asked by the assessing officer (AO).

Sold my house - when to file return?
I sold my house in Sep, 08.
As I understand I can file returns for this in 2009 or 2010. If I want to file it in 2010 what do I srite in the returns to be filed in 2009?
Moreover if I have to file about it in 2009 then whether the cost incurred towards major maintenance few times between sale & purchase can be included in computing the capital gain?
Please explain.
Thank you.

Re: Sold my house - when to file return?
Hello Mr. Mishra,
If you have sold your house in Sep 08, you have to consider that in the calculations when you file your return for AY 2009-10. You do not have the option to do it in the next year (AY 2010-11).
And yes, cost incurred towards major maintenance / repair can definitely be included as a cost while calculating your capital gain.
I have written a detailed article on calculation of capital gain on sale of a house - please read "Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on Sale of a House – Calculation and Income Tax" for more details.
I have also written an article on saving income tax on LTCG from sale of a house - please read "How to save / avoid Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG) Tax on Sale of a house" ".

Hello Mahabir Prasad,
I am not experienced in dealing with income from partnerships and businesses. Therefore, I would not be able to help you here. Sorry!

Re: Incom tax return by a common man
Hi Anil,
It is not mandatory for all businesses - only businesses having revenue / income over a certain level need to get their profit and loss accounts and balance sheets audited by a chartered accountant (CA).
Again, they only need to get results audited - filing of income tax returns through CAs is not mandatory.
But businesses usually take help of chartered accountants as they are aware of all the latest rules (and rule changes!), and can help you avoid any penalties and can help minimize your income tax liability.

Hi Sanjay,
Since there is a capital loss, you would need to fill ITR2.

Re: Which Form?
Hi Guddu,
Thanks for the compliments... I am glad that you liked the website.
For your purpose, you can use ITR1. All your income would come under "income from other sources".

Re: HOW TO FILL THE RETURNS IF MY INCOME IS LESSTHEN 100000
Dear Mr. Rao,
Ideally, since your total income is below the taxable limit, you need not file any income tax return.
However, if you want to file one for taking a home loan, please file ITR1.
The process is the same as for everyone else. Please indicate your total salary as "income from salary". And in the tax payable, the amount would be zero.

Curious case of which ITR Form to be used
Hi Raag,
Impressive Resume and an equally impressive quality of advices and help being rendered to people especially the "beginners" like me.
I had a question about the ITR Form to be used. I am a salaried person who has now been involved in equities for the past few months. I am in the process of preparing for AY09-10. I have a regular income with interests on FDs, Home loan, short term delivery trades and lots of intra-day square-off trades. My questions:
1.) What form should I be using to file my returns.
2.) Is there a limit to the total transaction amounts for speculations beyond which I need to prepare for Tax Audits?
Regards,
Sachin

Re: Income from 2 Companies
Hi Sawmy,
You would need to pay something called a "self assessment tax".
You can pay this at many banks, including most branches of State Bank of India (SBI).
You would need to fill up a simple challan, and pay the amount. You would get a stamped copy of the challan for your records.

Re: Curious case of which ITR Form to be used
Hi Sachin,
1. You need to fill and file ITR2.
2. There is no specific limit. However, if the assessing officer (AO) thinks that your trading income is a large proportion of your total income, he can treat it as "business income" instead of short term capital gain (STCG).
In that case, you would need to pay tax on the gains as per the IT slabs applicable to you instead of the concessional rate of tax on STCG.

Re: Duplicate ITR
Hi Faiyaz,
I am sorry, but I do not know of any particular method of getting a duplicate IT return.
I believe your best bet would be to approach your AO, and make an application for getting a duplicate IT return.

Re: Which ITR Needs
Hi,
Income from commission from LIC etc would be treated as "income from business and profession".
Therefore, you need to file ITR4.

Thanks for the inputs. However, intra-day square off transactions, the gains or losses made can be shown under STC(G/L)? I was under the impression that this set comes under Speculations and hence ITR-IV.

Re: Re: Curious case of which ITR Form to be used
Hi Sachin,
For salaried people, generally, share trading income is treated as STCG / LTCG.
However, if the trading income is a large as a proportion of your total income, then the AO can treat it as "business income".
The logic is that if you earn a large proportion of your income from share trading (Say your salary income is Rs. 4 Lakhs and you earned profit of Rs. 3.5 Lakhs from share transactions), then it means that it is also one of the primary sources of your income.
In that case, it would be treated as business income.

Hi Rajesh,
Since you have income from insurance (I assume you sell insurance and have received commission), you should file ITR4.

Re:Which ITR form?
Hi Gourish,
Is hiring out the car your business? In that case, this is business income and you should file ITR4.
Otherwise, this would be other income, and you need to file ITR1 or 2 depending on your other incomes.

Derivate losses in ITR4 - where to put these
Hi. I wanted to know where to include the derivative losses in form ITR 4. I am a salaried employee with derivative losses in the stock market, income from short term capital gain and day trading gains. Which forms should I fill in ITR 4. I am confused, should I include anything in nature of business? What about balance sheet and P&L. I have none of these computed. So where do I put the losses of derivatives. Also, is it possible to offset the losses in derivatives with the profit in short term capital gains through securities transaction. Please let me know. Would appreciate if you could tell me the exact specific lines where I include these items in the ITR4. Many Thanks for your help

Intraday Trading
Hi,
I am a salaried person with some profit (app Rs 1000) from intraday trading and short term gain (app Rs.5000).
Where do I indicate these amounts in ITR2.
Also is the tax calculation different for intraday & short term gain. If yes then please explain the difference.
Thanks,
Urjita

Re: Which ITR?
Dear R.V.Ramachandran,
You can file ITR2. Since the professional consultancy payment is a one-time payment, you can show it under "other income".

How should I collect the Form-16 from my current employer? Is there any related issued that needs to be taken care of? Please give your details advice and suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Can I take two Form-16s for filing I-T?
Hi Samuel,
Thanks for your kind words...
You can definitely file a return with 2 Form 16s. Just add up the amounts (salary, TDs, etc), and fill up the ITR.
Your new company would be giving you your Form 16. If it hasn't done it already, please contact your accounts department.
But please note that it would not issue a form 16 if it has not been making any tax deductions (TDS) from your salary.

Re: Will I have to club spouse transaction in my IT returns
Hi Sharief,
1. Yes, any income from the transactions undertaken using your money should be included in your return.
2. Yes. It would be short term capital gain (STCG).

Re: Which ITR Form
Hi Pankaj,
Thanks!
1. You need to file OTR4 as you have income from business and profession.
2. Yes, from your professional income (as consultant), you would be able to deduct many expenses that you would have incurred in order to earn such an income (such deductions are not available to salaried people).
I would recommend approaching a practicing CA who would be able to help you minimize your income tax liability.

Re: Derivate losses in ITR4 - where to put these
Hi Shreevallabh,
You have income (or loss) from derivative trading, which is treated as business income. Therefore, you need to file ITR4.
For derivatives and delivery-based transactions, I believe you have to fill schedule BP-A in ITR4.
However, I am not very familiar with the rules regarding derivatives. So, it would be best for you to approach a practicing CA who would be able to help you better and would help you save taxes.

Re: Intraday Trading
Hi Urjita,
For people whose profession is not intraday trading, the calculation is not different for short term profit and intraday trading.
When you earn from intraday trades, the duration of holding is less than 1 year, and therefore, the gain is short term capital gain.
So, please add up the amounts and show then as short term capital gain in the schedule for capital gain (CG).

Hi Duranta,
You don't need to file 2 returns. You should add up the amounts from both Form 16s, and put it in an ITR. You should be able to do this online.

Re: No Form 16 from Previus Employer
Hi Suresh,
Thanks...
Unfortunately, a Form 16 from the previous employer is a must. It is not required to be filed along with the return, but if the assessing officer (AO) demands, you have to produce it.
While filing the ITR form, you would also mention the income form the previous employer, and therefore, the tax payable / refund would automatically become 0 as per your total income of the year.

Re: Discrepancy in FORM 16
Hi Naresh,
Form 16 is the only proof of you having paid the tax. Therefore, the only way out is to get a corrected form 16.
As a way out, you can file your return now with the existing form 16, and can file a revised return when you get the updated form 16.

You don't have to file ITR4 just because you have two Form 16s - you can file ITR1.

ITR Filing problem because of salary from 2 companies in a year
Since, Apr 09 to Oct 09, i worked in one company where i didnt showed any investment proofs, no house rent receipts and no tax is deducted. Upon relieving from the company, they just give me salary statement for the duration and now they are not providing me any Form 16 as they say they have not made any deductions.
In my current organisation, accounts people have deducted TDS keeping my previous organization salary statement and current salary till march 10.
Tell me how to file my return. if i put salary figures in the TDS excel sheet, i says my income tax deducted is refundable.

Form16+Form16A = ITR1 or ITR4?
Hi raagvamdatt. I appreciate the great job you've done to thousands of people who are not aware of the facts and procedures in income tax domain. I have a query: I worked as an intern/contractor in a pvt. company till June'09, with direct TDS of 10.3% and I was not allowed to declare my investments.Then from Aug'09 i'm working for a different pvt. company as a regular employee. I received Form16 from the current employer and Form16A from the previous employer. I am confused how and whether to fill ITR1 or ITR4 online at incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in? How to fill in data from both forms? I have to get a large amount of tax refund. Also what is form ITR V, where to get it and how is it different from ITR1 or ITR4? Also for FY 2008-09, I have to get a large tax refund for the TDS I had paid at the first pvt. company, which I haven't still got after filing returns and claiming refund. How to ensure I get the refund? Thanks in advance!

ITR-V submitting for AY2010-11
Dear Sir,
I submitted ITR-1 online, with out digital signature.
The ITR-1 was prepared using the PDF utility available in the income tax website. After filing, i noticed that the ITR-V received, was having some missing information like, deduction under chapter VI-A,Total income, Net tax payable, but TDS and return amount was correct.
Then I re-submitted ITR-1, but this time I used the excel utility to generate the xml file. The ITR-V generated this time had correct info.
Now, should I post both ITR-V,s (one correct and one incorrect), or is it enough to post only the correct re-submitted form?
I compared the xml files generated using pdf and excel utility, and found that the PDF utility is not correctly generating the xml file.
I have mailed to the income tax department, but no response from them.
Thanks,
Guru

Am i required to file returns
Hi Raag Vamdatt,
I don't have words to describe your work as probably i can rate this site as the best professional income tax guide i have ever seen till date. Hats of to your hard work and passion to help people.
I just have a small query:
I got income from (FY 2009 - 2010)
-> savings bank interest
-> Longterm capital gains obtained by selling shares and mutual funds that were held for more than a year
-> Dividends obtained on shares and mutual funds held for more than a year
-> Short term capital gains obtained by intraday trading and delivery based calls (i.e. within a year)
I have no other source of income. Now if the total of the above mentioned earnings doesn't exceed 1.6 lakhs slab would i still need to file my returns.
Thanks for you patience

What procedure to follow...have Form 16A till Feb and Form 16 for March
Hi Raag Vamdatt,
I am amazed by the number of queries answered in this site. Bravo!! That prompted me to place my doubts here.
Actually I worked on contract basis in a firm till Feb and was issued Form 16 A for this. Later from March I was made a permanent employee in the same firm and for this they have provided Form 16.
Hence my first doubt is in such cases how to file do I have to use ITR form, If so which one. Or do I need myself to be audited ( as one of my friend suggested ). Also I have made a few stock investments from the money deposited in my account after tax deductions abroad. Are they taxable. If so how to file the same.
Thanks in advance
Karthick
