• Paying salary to mother - Income Tax

Hi Experts,

I am a software professional (registered as a proprietorship). I am paying my mother monthly salary for her services. Her annual salary is less than taxable income.

Which ITR form she should fill? is it ITR1? 
Does she need form 16 / TIN etc for filing ITR. I have not registered my business as a company. It's a very small propritership firm. 

Regards,

Dear sir ,

As per section 139 of IT act, Every Individual Having Gross total income (GTI) More than Exemption limit is required to File ITR. (at present exemption limit is Rs.2,50,000)

? GTI is the income calculated before any deduction u/s 80c to 80u.

Since her Income is below the exemption limit, she is not supposed to furnish Income tax return

(In your case ITR1)

Also,

Form 16 is Furnished by the employee whose TDS has deducted by the employer,

And TIN is required To charge VAT from buyer ( irrelevant in your case)
