ITRs must be submitted by July 31, 2022. Now, the taxpayers must also offer some extra data. Here are nine essential details that you should provide while completing an ITR.
New ITR Form rules to follow:
1. Declaration of taxable interest in an EPF account: If your annual EPF contributions total more than Rs 2.5 lakh, the interest on those additional contributions will be taxed. This interest must be disclosed on the ITR form.
2. Date of building or property purchase or sale: This time, information about purchasing a home or land must be provided when filing an ITR. In the ITR form, you must include the date of the purchase or sale for Capital Gains purposes.
3. Pensioners will now fall under an enhanced category, and they will need to fill out ITR forms with details on their pension source. The options available to pensioners include CG, SC, or PSU, which stands for central government, state government, and public sector firm pensions, respectively. Additional options like EPF pension are also there to choose from.

5. The actual cost of purchase is also required. Only index cost had to be disclosed when reporting capital gains, but from this year, index cost and actual cost are necessary. When releasing the ITR forms, the Income Tax Department also explained all these new regulations.
6. When submitting an ITR, you must specify your residential status. This year, you must choose the option required to support the residence status if you are filing an ITR-2 or ITR-3 form. To guarantee the correct residential status, reasonably precise information is being collected this time.
