I have been filing ITR 1 till FY 2017-18. I have resigned and have not earned any income/salary during FY 2018-19. Is it mandatory to file NIL return or FY 2018-19. I have received communication from IT dept for not filing returns for FY 2018-19. What should I do. If I have to file NIL return which ITR should I use?

If income return is filed in the previous year, the department will automatically asked to file return for the next year also. Hence file NIL return for the FY 2018-19 even though your are not in employment. If you have no other income like business, professional / technical services, income from house property, file ITR 1 like last year showing income from salary as nil and income from other sources like interest as per actual shown in bank/ post office etc account
