Section 80G of the Income Tax Act provides an opportunity for taxpayers to claim deductions on donations made to specified charitable organizations and relief funds.

The Income Tax Department releases different Income Tax Return (ITR) forms each year for a specific Assessment Year. Taxpayers select the appropriate ITR form based on their residential status and sources of income.

ITR-1, also known as Sahaj, is the simplest one-page Income Tax Return Form tailored for individuals with income from Salary/Pension, One House Property, and income from other sources.

Filing income tax returns is a fundamental obligation for every taxpayer, and selecting the appropriate Income Tax Return (ITR) form is the first step in this process. For the Assessment Year 2016-17, the Income Tax Department has designated various ITR forms tailored to different types of incomes and taxpayers.
