The Income Tax Department has announced forms for filing I-T returns for the 2020-21 fiscal year, which is a significant development in the field of taxation. In spite of the ongoing COVID pandemic and to make it easier for taxpayers, no major changes to the ITR Forms have been made in relation to last year's ITR Forms. Only the bare minimum reforms were introduced as a result of revisions to the Income-tax Act of 1961.
