Frequently Asked Questions

Which ITR form should a salaried person file?

A salaried individual with income only from salary, one house property, and other sources (interest, dividends) up to ₹50 lakh can file ITR-1 (SAHAJ). If you have capital gains, foreign income, multiple house properties, or income above ₹50 lakh, you must file ITR-2.

What is the difference between ITR-3 and ITR-4?

ITR-3 is for individuals and HUFs carrying on any business or profession, requiring detailed P&L and balance sheet. ITR-4 is for those opting for presumptive taxation under Sections 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE, where income is declared at a fixed percentage of turnover — no detailed books required.

Do I need to file ITR if my income is below the taxable limit?

If your total gross income is below ₹3 lakh (new regime) or ₹2.5 lakh (old regime), you generally do not need to file ITR. However, filing is mandatory if you have foreign assets, complex income types, or want to carry forward losses. Even nil filers with GST registration must file returns.

Can a company with no transactions skip filing ITR?

No. Every registered company must file ITR regardless of whether it had transactions or income. Companies must file ITR-6 even if they have zero income. Failure to file attracts ₹10,000 penalty under Section 272B and the company cannot obtain GST or other registrations renewals.
