is it necessary while filing salary return to give details of other employment in during the year if assessee has worked for only 2-3 months during the year. it is his first emplyment & he does not hv any other source of income.he has form 16 & i want to file nil return.
plz tell me the procedure to be followed as ITO is not accepting nil return & demanding declaration and proof that he has not worked during the other part of the year...
Mr.Sandeep Mishra
Please refer section 5 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 where in the scope of total income has been explained. You have to offer all income
(a) received or is deemed to be received in India in such year by or on behalf of such person
(b) accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise to him in India duirng such year
(c) accrues or arises to him out side India duirng such year.
As you are a resident you have to offer all the income as explained above.
You are not correct in not offering the income earned by employment elsewhere other than the present employer.
Hope you have got the clarification.
