ITR stands for Income tax return, a tax abbreviation.

Return filed with India's Income Tax Department on one of several numbered forms chosen by taxpayer type: ITR-1 (Sahaj) for salaried individuals with simple income, ITR-2 for capital gains, ITR-3 for business income and ITR-4 (Sugam) for presumptive income. The usual deadline for individuals not subject to audit is July 31.

Example: Don't forget to verify your ITR within 30 days of filing, or it's treated as not filed.

Usage notes

Returns are filed on the government e-filing portal and can be verified with an Aadhaar one-time password or through net banking. The Philippines and other countries also use "ITR" informally for any income tax return.
