• How to file tax return for unemployed widow for fixed deposit

My mother is an Unemployed Widow earning more than the exemption limit of Rs. 2,50,000 through Fixed Deposits (multiple FDs; totalling to more than 1 crore). The tax is deducted at source - the bank. And, the FDs are the only source of her income.

Please guide me which Forms/Documents have to be acquired and submitted and the procedure for filing of the same. Is it possible to File the said ITR through the Income Tax Online Portal?

Thank you in advance

Dear Sir,

You need to file ITR-1. Show interest on FD under the head income from other sources. Reconcile the amount of interest and TDS with Form 26AS/ Form 16A.

Under the TAB e-file on the income tax login , you can select the option Prepare and submit online.

Thanks

Hi,

In case of your mother, as the income is more than basic exemption limit for the F Y 2017-18 and the income belongs to other source. ITR should be filed in ITR-1 Sahaj.

For filing the ITR you can use Income Tax portal, as ITR preparation utility is very simple. You have to fill up the details step by step.
