ITR-3 ko samjho, schedule by schedule.

ITR-3 applicable hota hai individuals aur HUFs ke liye jinke paas income from business ya profession hai — chahe presumptive scheme ke under ho ya regular books of account maintain karte ho. Agar aapko salary, house property, capital gains (shares/mutual funds/property), ya other sources se bhi income hai, woh sab bhi isi single form mein report hota hai.

Partners in a firm (jinki income sirf profit share, interest, salary, bonus se hai — business income nahi) bhi ITR-3 use karte hain, ITR-2 nahi.

Agar aapki business/profession income ke saath salary income bhi hai (e.g. part-time job ya year ke beech job switch), toh Schedule S mein har employer ki entry alag se karni hoti hai — Gross Salary, perquisites, profit in lieu of salary, less exempt allowances u/s 10, aur Standard Deduction u/s 16(ia) claim karne ke baad “Income chargeable under Salaries” nikalta hai.

Part A – General mein personal details, filing status, nature of business/profession (with code), aur audit applicability (44AB/44AD/44ADA) capture hoti hai.

No-books-of-account wale taxpayers ke liye simplified version available hai jahan sirf cash-in-hand aur ek-do key figures dene hoti hain.

ICDS (Income Computation and Disclosure Standards) disclosures bhi yahin cover hoti hain.

Yeh schedule P&L ke net profit ko tax ke under “income chargeable under business/profession” mein convert karta hai — disallowances add-back, allowed deductions, aur presumptive income (44AD/44ADA/44AE) ki computation yahin hoti hai.

Speculative aur specified business income alag-alag report hoti hai kyunki unki loss set-off ki rules different hain.

Self-occupied aur let-out properties dono ki annual value, municipal taxes, aur Section 24 interest on home loan deduction yahan claim hoti hai. Multiple co-owned properties ke liye share-wise reporting bhi possible hai.

Interest income (savings, FD, bonds), dividend income, family pension, winnings from lottery/games (Section 115BB), aur gifts/other taxable receipts — sab Schedule OS mein report hote hain. Schedule VDA mein Virtual Digital Assets (crypto/NFT) transactions ki gain alag se report hoti hai — 30% flat rate ke saath, koi set-off allowed nahi.

CYLA-BFLA current year ke ek head ke loss ko doosre head ke income se set-off karta hai, fir brought-forward losses adjust karta hai. CFL jo loss is saal set-off nahi ho paya, usko aage carry forward karne ke liye record rakhta hai. Unabsorbed Depreciation schedule specifically depreciation ke carry-forward track karti hai — yeh indefinitely carry forward hoti hai, jabki business loss sirf 8 saal tak.
