ITR 2

ITR-2 is an income tax return form provided by the Income Tax Department of India. It is designed for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who have income from sources other than business or profession. ITR-2 is suitable for taxpayers with income from salary, house property, capital gains, and other sources, excluding business income.

To file ITR-2, you will need the following documents:

  • PAN card (Permanent Account Number)
  • Aadhaar card
  • Form 16 or salary slips
  • Bank statements
  • Details of income from house property, including rental income
  • Details of capital gains, such as sale of property or investments
  • TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) certificates
  • Investment proofs, such as LIC premium receipts or home loan interest certificates
  • Details of any foreign assets and income, if applicable
  • Any other relevant financial documents supporting your income and deductions
  • Visit the Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal or Trisuka’s website for easy filing.
  • Register yourself and create an account (if you don’t already have one).
  • Download the ITR-2 form and carefully fill in the required details.
  • Validate the form and generate an XML file.
  • Upload the XML file on the e-filing portal.
  • Once successfully uploaded, an acknowledgment called ITR-V will be generated.
  • Download and keep it for your records.
  • If you possess a digital signature, you can electronically sign the ITR-V. Otherwise, print it, sign it, and send it to the Centralized Processing Center within 120 days.

To be eligible for filing ITR-2, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You should be an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF).
  • Your income should not include income from business or profession.
  • You may have income from salary, house property, capital gains, and other sources.
  • If you have income from more than one house property or hold foreign assets, you are eligible to file ITR-2.
  • You should not be eligible to file ITR-1 or ITR-4.

Filing your ITR-2 on time offers several advantages, including:

  • Compliance with tax laws: Filing your tax return within the due date demonstrates your adherence to tax laws and helps you maintain a clean financial record.
  • Avoiding penalties: Timely filing helps you avoid penalties and interest charges imposed by the Income Tax Department.
  • Claiming deductions: By filing ITR-2, you can claim various deductions available under different sections of the Income Tax Act, such as Section 80C, 80D, and 80G, thus reducing your tax liability.
  • Faster loan processing: Many financial institutions require income tax returns as proof of income while processing loans. Timely filing ensures smoother loan processing.
