Who should file ITR-3?

ITR-3 is for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who earn income from a business or profession, including proprietors, freelancers, consultants, doctors, and partners receiving salary, interest, or remuneration from a partnership firm.

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

ITR-4 is for taxpayers who opt for the presumptive income scheme under Sections 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE. If you maintain regular books of accounts, do not opt for presumptive taxation, or have income types not allowed in ITR-4, you need to file ITR-3.

Can I file ITR-3 directly from my LEDGERS books?

Yes. If you maintain your accounts in LEDGERS, your income, expenses, and balance sheet details are prefilled into ITR-3 automatically. You can also upload ledgers or enter data manually.

Which income types can I report in ITR-3?

Along with business or professional income, ITR-3 lets you report salary, house property income, capital gains, and income from other sources in the same return.

Does LEDGERS support depreciation and expense schedules?

Yes. You can record detailed expense heads such as rent, salaries, and depreciation. LEDGERS validates the Profit & Loss, depreciation, and capital gains schedules before you file.

Is a tax audit required for ITR-3?

A tax audit under Section 44AB is required only when your turnover or gross receipts cross the prescribed limits, or in certain other cases. LEDGERS gives you audit-ready reports so your CA can complete the audit and file on time.

Can CA firms file multiple ITR-3 returns from one account?

Yes. LEDGERS supports bulk filing, so CA firms and tax professionals can manage multiple ITR-3 filings for their clients from a single dashboard.

What reports can I download after filing ITR-3?

You can download your tax computation report, filing summary, capital account, and profit and loss statement — useful for audits, loan applications, and future filings.
