OVERVIEW
What is ITR-1 Sahaj?
ITR-1 (Sahaj) is the simplest Income Tax Return form prescribed by the CBDT under the Income-tax Act, 1961 for resident individuals in India. “Sahaj” means simple — it is designed for taxpayers with uncomplicated income profiles.
It applies when total gross income does not exceed ₹50 lakh and income is limited to salary or pension, income from one house property (without brought-forward losses), and income from other sources such as interest and family pension. It does not cover capital gains, business/professional income, foreign income or assets, agricultural income above ₹5,000, or more than one house property. Millions of salaried employees and pensioners file ITR-1 every year.
