An Income Tax Return is a form used by taxpayers to report income details and tax payments to the Income Tax Department.
Seven ITR forms—ITR-1 through ITR-7—are available for income tax e-filing. The correct form depends on the taxpayer's income sources, total income, and category, such as individual, Hindu Undivided Family, firm, or company.
Taxpayers should accurately complete the appropriate return within the specified deadline to comply with income tax law.
The obligation to file an ITR primarily arises when gross total income exceeds the applicable basic exemption limit. The limit can depend on age and the tax regime chosen.
The old tax regime allows various deductions and exemptions, while the new tax regime provides revised slab rates but restricts many deductions.
| Income Range | Income Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹2,50,000 | Nil |
| ₹2,50,001 to ₹5,00,000 | 5% |
| ₹5,00,001 to ₹10,00,000 | 20% |
| Above ₹10,00,000 | 30% |
The Union Budget 2025 introduced the following slab structure under the new tax regime:
| Income Range | Income Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹4,00,000 | Nil |
| ₹4,00,001 to ₹8,00,000 | 5% |
| ₹8,00,001 to ₹12,00,000 | 10% |
| ₹12,00,001 to ₹16,00,000 | 15% |
| ₹16,00,001 to ₹20,00,000 | 20% |
| ₹20,00,001 to ₹24,00,000 | 25% |
| Above ₹24,00,000 | 30% |
