<h1>CBDT exempts salaried taxpayers earning up to Rs. 5,00,000 with specific income sources from filing returns. Conditions apply.</h1> The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued a notification exempting certain salaried taxpayers from filing income-tax returns. This applies to individuals with a total income not exceeding Rs. 5,00,000, consisting solely of salary and savings bank interest income up to Rs. 10,000, provided tax is deducted at source by the employer. A valid PAN is required, and the exemption does not apply to those with income from multiple employers, house property losses, or interest from fixed or recurring deposits. Taxpayers claiming refunds or deductions beyond specified limits must still file returns. Agricultural income over Rs. 5,000 also necessitates filing.
