09 April 2015 Sir,

Can I use black & white printed return form
in lieu of coloured ( red & white ) return form .
With regard,
Sudhir Saha

09 April 2015 Yes, you can take black & white print out. There is no mandatory rule that, itr should be on colour.

10 April 2015 depends on the form. For ITR-1 and ITR4S, color printing is necessary. you may refer to print instructions issued by Income-tax department.

10 April 2015 Mr. Nikhil,
we are practicing from Bangalore.

We already submitted ITR-1 in Bangalore jurisdiction and udupi, Karnataka jurisdiction, in black & white print out only, and department accepted and assessment already completed successfully.

As per your CBDT print specification (as your attachment), colour print-out is only advisable and mandatory.

10 April 2015 Dear Shiva,

Well we here in Mumbai tend to practice only as per the rules prescribed by the Income-tax department.

The instructions are clear on the color of the form. Now if the bangalore tax office accepts the black and white form, it is considerate on their part but nevertheless doesn't change the rules.

10 April 2015 Mr. Nikhil,

As per CBDT print specification (as attached by you), the colour print-out is only advisable. The reason behind, may visible clearly.

However, there is no mandatory rule that, itr-1 and itr-4s should be on colour only.

Read the document, it clearly says, "advisable"

05 May 2015 oh man. lets check where the word advisable is used:

Taxpayers can also download the forms from the website and print using a color printer on an A4 size white paper. It is advisable for taxpayer to set the properties in printing options to “fit to page” and print the forms on a good quality white paper.

The tax payer has been advised to set properties to "fit to page"

Please read it again. I don't think with regards to color printing there is any advise being given!

Also read point "a"

SAHAJ and SUGAM forms are colored forms with standard features like registration marks, barcode etc.

05 May 2015 Mr. Nikhil,
Then, how the department accepted my black and white printout of the SAHAJ forms without any objections?

I have colour scan copy of the ack of the same..




05 May 2015 Their mistake doesnt make us right. Atleast thats the principle I follow

05 May 2015 I agree that, one can make mistake. But, how it is possible to make same mistake by many people in two or more income tax wards?
