The required fields related to Investment details, product and acquisition date should also not include in the return as most taxpayers do not fill those fields.
Further, it was said that information about Debt (non-business), debtor’s name, precious possession, date and code were also not provided by applicants so would not there in the form.
For Household effects, the old information of furniture and fixtures should be retained but questions about Cash in hand or at Bank would be excluded.
