This analysis aims to study inclusive neutrino-induced Neutral Current (NC)interactions that produce at least one neutral pion (${\pi}^0$) in the finalstate (incNC${\pi}^0$ ) in the T2K off-axis near detector ND280. The motivationfor this study is to better understand/eliminate the background to electronneutrino appearance analyzed at the far detector Super-Kamiokande. As ${\pi}^0$decays are background to the appearance search, a good knowledge of bothinclusive and exclusive neutrino interaction cross sections are key toimproving associated systematic uncertainties in T2K oscillation analyses.Results from this study can be compared to a number of Monte Carlo samplesproduced using different neutrino interaction generators. This could yieldinformation about models of neutrino-nucleon interactions. Further comparisonscan be made with the incCC${\pi}^0$ sample already obtained from a T2K neardetector analysis. In this poster, the selection criteria used to collectinclusive neutral current neutrino interactions on plastic scintillator (CH)with at least one ${\pi}^0$ in the final state will be presented, including adiscussion of how selection criteria were improved. I will also discuss thechanges in the selections, including use of a fitting method to improvemeasurement of the incNC${\pi}^0$ interaction rate.
