New ‘ITR-1 Sahaj’ has retained those deductions which are most frequently used by the taxpayers under Section 80C, 80D, 80G and 80TTA. If any taxpayer wants to claim deductions under any other provision of chapter VI-A he can specify the relevant Section in the column titled ‘Any other’.

It is mandatory to e-file tax returns for those with long-term capital of Rs. 2.5 lakh or more, even though their taxable income may be below Rs. 2.5 lakh.
