Friends,

But leagal position is different.As per section 139(1) proviso ,income tax return is to be filed if person gross total income not net taxable income , is More than exemption limit means if you have earned 2,50000 in Fy 2009-10 and saved 100000(u/s 80C) and your net taxable income is 250000-100000=150000 Rs even then as per Income tax act,you have to file return as your Gross total income(250000) is more than 160000 .
