📄 ITR Form Confusion – A Common Mistake

A businessman had two income sources: 💼 Salary from his company 🏗 Business income from his proprietorship

He filed his return in ITR-1 (Sahaj) thinking it’s the simplest option. But here’s the problem: ITR-1 is only for salary, one house property, and other income (like interest). It cannot be used if you have: • Business or professional income • Capital gains • Foreign income or assets • Agricultural income above ₹5,000

👉 Since he reported business income in ITR-1, his return was declared defective under section 139(9). This meant extra compliance, delay in processing, and unnecessary stress.

💡 Lesson: Always match your income profile with the correct ITR form before filing. Wrong form = Defective return = More trouble later.
