Which ITR Form to File for Rental Income?
| ITR Form | Who Should Use It |
| ITR-1 (Sahaj) | If you earn rent from only one house property and your total income is up to ₹50 lakh |
| ITR-2 | If you own multiple properties, earn capital gains, or have income over ₹50 lakh |
| ITR-3 | If you earn rental income as part of a business or profession |
How to Save Tax on Rental Income
Here are smart ways to reduce your tax liability:
- Standard Deduction (30%): A flat 30% deduction is allowed on the net annual value of the property. With Tax2win’s self-filing software, the deduction is auto-applied.
- Vacancy Loss: Deduction is allowed if the property was unoccupied during part of the year, and you could not earn rental income on it, you can claim this loss, thus reducing your rental income.
- Municipal Taxes: Municipal taxes and property taxes paid during the year can be deducted from the gross rental income if they are paid by you and not the tenant.
