Also, the source of earning is mainly salary, pension, rent from any one house, interest on money deposited in the bank and income from up to Rs 5,000, then you can fill the ITR-1 form. Those earning long term capital gains of up to 1.25 lakhs will also be able to fill this form. Capital gains mean earnings from the sale of stock market, mutual funds or any digital assets.
Apart from this, long -term capital gains will not be able to fill this form.

Those who have earned more than 5000 rupees from farming, earning from abroad or if someone has shares of unlisted company, they will also not be able to fill -1.
