New ITR forms notified; salary breakup, GST ID to be furnished

The new Income Tax Return (ITR) forms for the assessment year 2018-19 were notified today by the Central Board of Direct Taxes that mandated salaried class assessees to provide their salary breakup and businessmen their GST number and turnover.

The policy-making body of the tax department said some fields have been “rationalised” in the latest forms and that there is no change in the manner of filing the ITRs as compared to last year.
