There is a common query I found among salaried people, who does not need to file ITR? Certain individuals are exempt from filing an Income Tax Return when their income and circumstances fall within criteria, as outlined by Tata AIG and the Income Tax Act. Those not required to file, under normal circumstances, include:
Individuals with income below the basic exemption limit Rs 2.5 lakhs/year under the old tax regime (for those below 60), Rs 3 lakhs for senior citizens, and Rs 5 lakhs for super-seniors. Under the new regime, the limit is Rs 3 lakhs for all below 80 years.
Individuals earning only agricultural income, provided such income does not exceed Rs 5,000 in the financial year.
NRIs with no Indian-sourced income or income below the threshold limits Rs 2.5 lakhs old regime, Rs 3 lakhs new regime.
Additionally, under Section 206AB, people not required to file (such as those with income below the exemption threshold or senior citizens or NRIs without Indian income) are exempt from higher TDS rates, as listed by the government.
This is all about who do not need to file tax return.
