SARAL II FORM(ITR-1) NOTIFIED FOR THE A.Y 2010-11

The most awaited SARAL II form i.e ITR-1 has been notified by the CBDT for the A.Y 2010-11 vide notification  dated 23/04/2010. The new SARAL II Form is different from the earlier ITR-1 form in many respects.

The new SARAL II (ITR-1) form is of two pages only. The earlier ITR-1 form was also of two pages but the earlier ITR form could be filed by only those assessee who had income from the salaries/Pension and Income from Interest if any. But the new form can be filed by the asseessees having salary/pension Income, Income from one house property (excluding loss brought forward from previous years),Income from Other Sources (Excluding Winning from Lottery and Income from Race Horses).



The new SARAL II form is quite saral in the respect that there is no need for the assessee to mention the detail of his house property the income of which is to be declared in the form nor any need to provide details about the other source income(except the TDS details) which is to be declared in the SARAL II form, which normally one needs to provide in the other forms. However if an assessee has income U/H House Property from more than one house or has brought forward losses U/H House Property then in such case new SARAL II form cannot be filed.

The ITR-V form has also been notified for the A.Y 2010-11. The Fringe benefit part has been deleted from the new ITR-V form as the fringe benefit tax is no more applicable in the A.Y 2010-11.
