What is ITR?

ITR is also known as an income tax return. ITRs are used by taxpayers to file income tax returns. Different types of ITR forms are available depending on a taxpayer’s income sources. There are columns for income sources, deductions, tax liability, tax payment, and verification during the financial year on ITRs. The taxpayer files their income tax return per the status (NRI, Resident, Individual, Business, Professionals) and income sources (salary, house property, business, capital gains etc.). There are a total of 7 ITRs forms to file income tax returns. We will discuss here only ITR-2.

What is ITR-2? 

ITR-2 is an income tax return form applicable for individual taxpayers and Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) who are not engaged in any profession or business. Its applicability depends upon the taxpayer’s category and source of income. It includes income from capital gains, foreign income, or any agricultural income of more than Rs 5,000.

Who Can File ITR-2?

Form ITR-2 is applicable to individuals and HUFs who receive income from sources other than “Profits and Gains from Business or Profession.” Let’s examine the eligible sources of income for filing ITR-2:

1. Income from Salary/Pension:
Taxpayers earning income from salaries or pensions are eligible to file Form ITR-2.

2. Income from House Property:
Individuals earning income from one or more house properties can use Form ITR-2 for filing their returns.

3. Income from Capital Gains:
Both short-term and long-term capital gains or losses resulting from the sale of investments, properties, or securities make individuals eligible for filing ITR-2.

4. Income from Other Sources:
Income from sources such as winnings from lotteries, horse races, legal gambling, and other miscellaneous sources falls under the category of “Other Sources” and requires the use of Form ITR-2.

5. Foreign Income:
Taxpayers having income from foreign sources are also eligible to file Form ITR-2.

6. Agricultural Income:
Individuals with agricultural income exceeding Rs. 5,000 are required to file their returns using Form ITR-2.

7. Resident Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR) and Non-Resident:
If you qualify as a resident but not an ordinarily resident (RNOR) or a non-resident, you are eligible to use Form ITR-2 for filing your returns.

Individuals who serve as directors in any company or have investments in unlisted equity shares are also required to file their returns using Form ITR-2.

  2. ITR2 xls utility has a bug. I have faced the similar issue.
    “Schedule TTI:
    Check for Financial interests/Assets out of India should be filled.”
    Use JAVA utility to file the ITR2. Note that you have to install Java first if it’s not already installed.
    Use below link: https://www.java.com/en/download/

    Once installed, click on ITR.bat file in Java utility which will open GUI.
    This is much better than xls.

    At “Home” tab, disable the sections that are not applicable to you e.g. ‘Schedule AMT’.

    Hope this helps..

    • Hello Bisweshwar Ghosh, Yes you are right there are no option in ITR-2 for revised returns or rectify returns. Anyway don’t worry, Income Tax department has setup the options in its online portal. When you will login to your account to file ITR-2 again then it will tell you that you have already filed ITR-2. So you have to file revised return or cancel it. You can then tick the option to file revised return. It will solve your problem. Hope you will satisfy by it. If not then ask me again, I will look into again. Thanks

    My Son's SB interest – Rs. C < 200
    My Son's FD interest – Rs. D. < 3200

    My Questions: 1) What amount should be filled in Schedule OS 1b (Interest Gross)?
    2) What amount should be filled in Schedule VI A .p (80TTA)?
    3) What amount should be filled in Schedule SPI (Income of Specified Person) against my son's name? Should it be a) Rs.D or b) Rs. D+ Rs. C or c) Rs. D+ Rs. C – Rs.1500

    Basic reason for asking above questions is:
    1) No matter what amount I fill for Q3, the tax amount is not getting changed.
    2) Where should I mention the Rs. 1500 deduction (or exemption) allowed for income of minor child.

  25. I filled ITR 2 and got the validation except for one issue for which I need help. I have declared STCG in transaction of share. I have not shown setting off loss against current year’s transaction or or carry forward loss. Under clause E of Capital Gains format at sl no ii shows short term capital gain as Rs 30730. This has not been validated with the remark “Total of quarterly break up in STCG 15% is less by Rs 30730”.
    Request help to resolve.

    • I also faced the same problem, but could understand, the salary figure will be picked up from TDS-1 table for working tax liability. Strangely, income other than Salary has been picked up from TDS-2 table but not Salary amount. 2014_ITR2PRI.xls extracted from zipped Tr2 is also provided with system of generating XML file. But that also did not function. ITR2.xls is another excel form available for download and that has correctly assesses tax liability and outstanding tax has been paid as self assessment accordingly, but there is no facility for generating of XML file and therefore can not be uploaded against my PAN account. It appears upload is feasible only for ‘XML’ file. But this ‘xls’ file displays proper acknowledgement (TR5) file. What can be the remedy ? I can only send the Tr5 displayed duly signed if ‘XML’ file does not generate, ‘[email protected]

  37. i was reading on net that – person earning exempted income above 5000 cannot file ITR1, does it mean that Salary person earning exempted income above 5000 (ie. if HRA and other allowances are above 5000, which are exempt U/S 10) will file ITR2

      • Is it sure that itr2 has to be filed if we have exempted incoe under section 10 around 50k? Also in itr2 excel utility I am not able to fill email address and mobile number(macros are enabled). How can I fill that?

        Reply
    • You are required to fill ITR1 only. Exempt income is this case refers to Dividend Income etc, not the Salary Income component of HRA etc.
