ITR-1 Return Filing · Baner, Pune

ITR-1 Return Filing

The Sahaj form for salaried individuals, pensioners & interest income earners — filed accurately, on time, from our Baner, Pune office.

Overview

Simple income, simple filing.

ITR-1 (Sahaj) is the income tax return form for resident individuals with straightforward income profiles — one of the most widely filed forms in India, designed for salaried employees, pensioners, and interest-income earners.

N D Savla & Associates handles ITR-1 filings for clients across Pune — from IT sector employees in Hinjewadi to teachers, government servants, and retirees. Filing ITR-1 when the correct form is ITR-2 or higher makes the return defective under Section 139(9) — identifying the correct form first is essential.

⚠️ If capital gains from equity mutual fund redemptions exceed Rs 1.25 lakh (Section 112A threshold), ITR-1 cannot be used — ITR-2 is required.
