Certain categories of assessees need to get their IT returns audited by a qualified chartered accountant before filing. Among individuals, these are typically self-employed people - doctors, lawyers, consultants, accountants, architects etc., or people running businesses - partnerships, sole proprietorships etc. There are also gross receipt thresholds (50L I think) for mandatory audits.

1 crore if it is a business of sale of goods and 50 lakhs if it is a profession.

Thanks for the explanation, but I am confused why @sgiitk's wife (Nil return) and son (perhaps Nil return) need to get their returns audited.

I only received some generic emails for submitting returns and details about the voluntary income disclosure scheme which seem to be sent to existing taxpayers (like spam). Nothing specific about my past returns.

Assumptions, assumptions... why wouldn't the gent in question have income at the level where such audits are required?

1. If you are a professional with an annual income/turnover of over 25l then your books have to be audited and the return filed under a digital signature. These are mostly ITR4 cases. Next year they are relaxing this, if your income is under 50L and deductions less than 50% then you need not have an audit.

2. My wife has no taxable income but has to file since she has Sec10 income over 1L. I filed and got the order within ten days.

Now I understand, Thanks!

I was concerned whether filing a Nil return for someone who has No Income will lead to headaches later.

Can anyone tell me where exactly on the ITR-1 Form one has to enter the EPF amount withdrawn after 5 continuous years of service?

There's a single column D20 at the very end where you can disclose exempt income in ITR-1.

ITR-2 fill schedule EI.

Thanks a lot, @hserus! I googled before I asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Finally my taxes are filed and I am relieved.

In the ITR 1 excel utility its the 'taxes paid and verification' tab item number 27 just under the taxes paid details

I was hoping I'd finish this tonight, but...

This Schedule AL ("Details of Asset and Liability at the end of the year") is new in ITR2 this time, looks like. Does anyone have any detailed guidelines on how to fill this?

• For property purchased in built-up state (flats, villas etc.), do we have to fill in land value and structure value separately?
• What about under-construction apartments?
• Where do mutual funds, share investments etc. figure in? Under cash in hand?
• Should one include the assets already declared in Schedule FA once again?
• Jewellery - since gold price has shot up, original purchase value or value on 31/3/16?

Some basic Google search suggests that we need to put only cost of acquisition in, not depreciated value. Thank $deity for that.

Thanks. I had the same question. My worry is what about jointly owned flats? Should one straight away pro-rate it? (seems so but its worth getting it correct!).

This article suggests NO to this question:

http://www.livemint.com/Money/J5rCTh...urn-forms.html

"Since foreign assets and income are separately reported in Schedule FA, it appears that Schedule AL will capture details of those assets that are not captured under Schedule FA, i.e., India assets."

Dear friends,

I came to know I have some amount of tax to be paid from previous years. As I am not well aware of taxation being a salary earner, I didn't keep track of this. I want to pay this amount immediately to IT dept. as otherwise it will keep accumulating interest. I want to know from experts how I can know the final amount to be paid and where and how can I remit this amount.

Thank you.
