Yes, your parents or sister can sponsor your visa application using their Income Tax Return (ITR) documents as part of the financial proof.

However, ITRs alone are not enough. The sponsor will also need to provide:
- Recent bank statements (typically last 6 months)
- Sponsorship letter signed by the sponsor
- ITRs for the last 2-3 years
- Proof of relationship (such as birth or marriage certificates)
- Income or employment proof

Visa authorities usually require a combination of these documents to demonstrate financial capacity. Requirements and accepted documents are subject to change.

Cash income, business income or no ITR?

See whether your funds and documents will pass the visa check.
