  5. @kperisetti : the 2012_ITR1_PR12.xls file is not password protected. You have to allow its macro, so that it can run predefined functions. I think you might have downloaded the wrong file. please download it again from https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/downloads12-13/itr/ITR1_2012_13_R2.zip
