Overview - ITR Filing For Proprietorship

A Proprietorship is a single-owner business structure where the owner and the business are legally the same entity. The owner bears unlimited liability and pays income tax under individual tax slabs — not corporate rates.

Why Should an Proprietorship File ITR?

Legal Requirement – Mandatory under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
-Avoid Penalties – Late or non-filing attracts penalties.
-Carry Forward Losses – Business losses can be adjusted against future profits.
-Secure Loans & Tenders – Proof of income is essential for financing and government tenders.
-Claim Tax Refunds – Helps recover excess TDS deducted.

Applicable ITR Forms for Proprietorship

  • ITR-3 – For proprietors carrying on business or professional income (e.g., consultants, freelancers).
  • ITR-4 (Sugam) – For proprietors opting for Presumptive Taxation under Sections 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE (simplified filing).
