Filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) is an essential responsibility for NRIs as it helps maintain transparency and contributes to the overall development of the nation. However, determining the appropriate ITR form for NRIs can be confusing due to the various options available. In this article, we will explore the different ITR forms and help NRIs understand which one suits their specific circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Determining_residential_status\"><\/span><b>Determining residential status<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step in determining the correct ITR form for an NRI is to establish their residential status. The residential status of an individual is determined by specific criteria laid down by the Income Tax Act, of 1961. NRIs fall into different categories, including Non-Resident, Resident but Not Ordinary Resident (RNOR), and Resident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5002\" src=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3200358_40435-scaled-e1686049325462-1024x710.jpg\" alt=\"Tax form\" width=\"555\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3200358_40435-scaled-e1686049325462-1024x710.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3200358_40435-scaled-e1686049325462-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3200358_40435-scaled-e1686049325462-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3200358_40435-scaled-e1686049325462-1536x1065.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aktassociates.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/3200358_40435-scaled-e1686049325462-2048x1420.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_ITR_forms_for_NRIs\"><\/span><b>Different ITR forms for NRIs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_ITR-1_Sahaj\"><\/span><b>\u00a0ITR-1 (Sahaj)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ITR-1, also known as Sahaj, is the simplest ITR form primarily meant for salaried individuals. However, it has certain limitations when it comes to NRIs. To be eligible for filing ITR-1, an NRI should have income from salary, one house property, other sources such as interest, and total income up to Rs. 50 lakhs.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_ITR-2\"><\/span><b>\u00a0ITR-2<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ITR-2 is the application form for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) not eligible for ITR-1. NRIs who have income from multiple sources, including salary, capital gains, and foreign assets, can use ITR-2 to file their returns. Additionally, those who hold directorships in companies or have investments in unlisted equity shares need to file ITR-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ITR-3\"><\/span><b>ITR-3<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ITR-3 is designed for individuals and HUFs having income from business or profession.
