Overview ITR 3 Return Filing 

The ITR-3 form is intended for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) engaged in a business or profession that requires maintaining detailed books of accounts.

Additionally, individuals earning from salaried employment and those with income from freelancing or part-time business activities can also use the ITR-3 form to file their income tax returns.

Step-by-Step Guide to File ITR-3

Step 1: Login

 

Step 2: Link Your PAN

  • Enter your PAN Card Number and Date of Birth to link it with the income tax department.
  • Complete OTP verification using your Aadhaar-registered or IT department-registered mobile number.

 

Step 3: Pre-Fill Your Personal Information

  • Complete another OTP verification to fetch personal and income details from the income tax department.
  • This saves time and reduces manual data entry.
  • Review and confirm the pre-filled details.

 

Step 4: Edit and Review Details

  • Personal Information: Verify or update details under the ‘Personal Info’ tab.
  • Income Sources:
    • Review pre-filled salary details.
    • Upload Form 16 or Form 26AS if necessary.
    • Enter additional income sources like rental income, capital gains, or other earnings.
    • Import capital gains data from brokerage platforms like 5paisa and Paytm Money.

 

Step 5: Report Business or Professional Income

  • Under ‘Business Income’, click ‘Add BSPL Income’.
  • Fill in:
    • Balance Sheet
    • Profit & Loss Statement (P&L)
    • Depreciation, ICDS, and other financial details.
  • Enter income computation in Schedule BP, complete Schedule OI, and provide auditor details if applicable.

 

Step 6: Tax Deductions and Savings

  • Under the ‘Deductions’ tab, verify and edit investment details (LIC, PPF, etc.).
  • Claim tax benefits like:
    • Section 80C (Tuition fees, PPF, LIC)
    • Section 80TTA (Savings account interest up to ₹10,000)

 

Step 7: Enter Tax Paid Details

  • Input tax payments made on non-salary income (e.g., freelance earnings, interest income).
  • Upload Form 26AS to auto-populate TDS details (income must still be entered manually).
  • Claim relief under Section 89 and enter self-assessment tax paid.

 

Step 8: Schedule AL and Other Disclosures

  • If your total income exceeds ₹50 lakh, fill Schedule AL (Assets & Liabilities).
  • Enter details of Indian assets (for non-residents, only Indian assets must be declared).
  • Declare deposits exceeding ₹1 crore in a current account.

 

Step 9: Review Tax Summary & Choose Tax Regime

  • View your computed tax liability under both old and new tax regimes.
  • Compare and switch regimes if necessary before final submission.

 

Step 10: Self-Declaration

  • Confirm that all details entered are accurate and authorize Income tax to file the return.
  • Check the declaration box and submit the form.

 

Step 11: Pay Taxes (If Applicable)

  • If any outstanding tax is due, make the payment and enter the challan details.
  • If you are eligible for a refund or have no tax dues, proceed to e-filing.

 

Step 12: Submit & e-Verify

  • After successful submission, you will receive an acknowledgment number.
  • e-Verify the return using Aadhaar OTP, Net Banking, or Digital Signature Certificate (DSC).
  • Important: Uploading the ITR alone does not complete the process—verification is mandatory.
