ITR Rules: The last date for filing income tax is near, hence anyone who has not yet filed ITR should do so with immediate effect. If you think that your income is less then you do not need to fill ITR, then it is not so at all, before that you should know some rules, only after that do anything further.

Should I pay tax on income of Rs 4 lakh or not?
Generally, it is necessary to file ITR if the annual income is more than Rs 4 lakh in the new tax system and Rs 2.5 lakh in the old tax system. But in some cases, it is necessary to file ITR even if the income is low. It is very important for every tax payer and non-tax payer to know these rules.
