ITR-1 (Sahaj) Return Filing

Simple, Accurate ITR-1 Filing for Salaried Individuals

ITR-1, also known as Sahaj, is the income tax return form meant for resident individuals with total income up to Rs. 50 lakh from salary or pension, one house property, and other sources such as interest income, along with agricultural income up to Rs. 5,000. It is the most commonly used form for salaried employees and pensioners.

Filing ITR-1 correctly ensures your tax liability is computed accurately and any refunds due are processed without delay. ITR-1 filing is often the first step before considering ITR-2 return filing if your income profile changes, and it connects closely with our broader income tax e-filing services.
