Of this, more than one million returns were filed on Friday.
ITR Form 1 (Sahaj) is a simpler form that caters to a large number of small and medium taxpayers.

ITR-2 is filed by individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) not having income from profits and gains in business or profession, but having income from capital gains.
