I'm not in India now for the financial year 2011-12, so there is no tax for me. But I got tax on interest that my bank has paid to Govt. Still should I file the tax returns to Govt.
ReplyDeletePlease clarify. Thanks.
For non-resident Indians tax filing is needed only if the income earned from India exceeds the income tax limits OR any short-term or long-term capital gains earned from sale of any investments or assets in India. Hope this help!
ReplyDeleteRagarding "I am making this return in my capacity as...." In ITR-V, AY 2013-2014, I called up IT dept. they said Nothing other than sign should be entered. I am an Individual.
ReplyDeletePlease keep "I am making this return in my capacity as..." ... as blank. If you are an individual and just sign. It is also mentioned that you should not fold the doc. This means that the fold should not be on the BAR code that is printer on the doc. If the fold is on the bar code the doc will not be able to be scanned.

ReplyDeleteYou are right, individuals may leave this field blank.
Helpful totally. Simple and crisp.
ReplyDeleteI liked the post, this is the second time I am filling from myself only through cleartax.in. They have generated a ITR-V form for me which I have signed. How will the tax guys know in which account they will deposit the money? Where do I mention it.
ReplyDeleteThere is an option in the itr form to provide bank account details...
