The form is meant for taxpayers with complex income structures, including capital gains, foreign assets, and multiple properties. Experts say many salaried individuals mistakenly continue filing ITR-1 despite being ineligible due to stock market or mutual fund investments. Even small capital gains can make ITR-1 invalid. With increasing participation in equities and global investments, understanding ITR-2 eligibility has become more important for salaried employees, investors, NRIs, and HUFs.\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-3\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-1130120799\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/money\/recommends\/scapia\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"scapia (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg\" alt=\"scapia (1)\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-should-file-itr-2-nbsp\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Who Should File ITR-2?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ITR-2 is applicable to individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) that do not have business or professional income but earn income beyond the scope of ITR-1.
