             Chrome browser gives you error while  registering.

Try to register using IE(Internet Explorer) for first time instead of using Chrome.

Registration page shown as below. Here we need to take care of two things.
1)      Fill correctly First name, Middle name, surname.
       If your name consists of two parts then Middle name will be empty.
       If your name consists of more than two parts just by trial and error method
          Fill First name, Middle name, surname.
      Ex:  ABC DEF LMN 
      In general I will fill any application
           Surname:  LMN
           FirstName:  ABC 
           Middlename:  DEF 
     But few years back when I applied for PAN card it went wrong I didn’t notice
     By trial and error method I found details. J
           Surname:  LMN

When you open the ITR1 Excel sheet you will find four sheets “Home”,”Income Details”,”TDS”, “TaxPaid and Verification”. “Home” sheet just provides us instructions rest of all we need to fill.

              For individuals “returns filed under section” is 11-u/s 139(1)
              Designation of assessing officer is not mandatory to fill.
