Key takeaways

  • ITR-1 is restricted to resident individuals with salary / house-property income ≤ ₹50L and no foreign assets — every other individual case needs ITR-2 or higher.
  • Companies file ITR-6, partnership firms + LLPs file ITR-5, HUFs and individuals with business income use ITR-3 (audit) or ITR-4 (presumptive).
  • Foreign assets / signing authority require Schedule FA + ITR-2 / ITR-3 — never ITR-1.
  • Capital gains force ITR-2 regardless of other income sources.
