You have to use ITR 2 only

The ITR-2 Form is a type of ITR form which is generally used by individuals who have accrued income through the sale of assets or property. Also, this form is useful for individuals who earn income from countries outside India. In most cases, individuals or Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) can avail of this form to file their IT returns. This form is applicable for the following persons:

People who earn income through salary or through means such as pension
A person whose source of income is through the sale of assets or property in India i.e. capital gains

People who don’t earn money from any business venture
A person who own assets in countries outside of India
People who earn income from countries outside of India
A person whose income from agriculture is above Rs 5,000
