Same ITR-1 can also be used in case of other income which includes income from one house property (provided there is no brought forward loss or loss to be carried forward) and income from other sources (other than income from lottery, race horses, or unexplained income and so on). However, total income combining all the mentioned sources should not exceed Rs50 lakh, else ITR-1 cannot be used.
This case is mandatory if the income is clubbed of another person—spouse or minor child—with their own income.
