If you have agricultural income exceeding ₹5,000 and wish to claim the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act (which is available for small businesses), you need to use ITR-3 since ITR-4 is not available for those with significant agricultural income.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to claim the presumptive scheme under Section 44AD in ITR-3 using the Java utility:
### **Step-by-Step Process to Claim Presumptive Scheme under Section 44AD in ITR-3**
1. **Download and Install the ITR-3 Utility:** - Download the latest version of the ITR-3 Java utility from the [Income Tax India e-Filing portal](https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/).
2. **Open the ITR-3 Utility:** - Launch the downloaded Java utility.
3. **Fill in Personal Details:** - Enter your personal details including PAN, name, address, and other necessary information on the ‘General Information’ page.
4. **Select the Income Details:** - Go to the 'Income Details' tab.
5. **Choose the 'Business or Profession' Option:** - Under the 'Income Details' section, find the 'Income from Business or Profession' sub-section. - Select 'Presumptive Income under Section 44AD' as your type of business income.
6. **Enter Business Details:** - Fill in the required details about your business. This includes information on your business and the nature of the business.
7. **Presumptive Taxation Details:** - Enter the gross receipts of your business. - The presumptive income will be calculated at 8% of the gross receipts (or 6% for digital payments). - The calculated presumptive income will be automatically reflected in the 'Income from Business or Profession' section.
8. **Enter Agricultural Income:** - Go to the 'Agricultural Income' tab and input your agricultural income here. - Note that the agricultural income is not taxed but needs to be declared for calculating the tax slab rate.
9. **Complete Other Sections:** - Fill in details of other incomes, if any. - Fill in deductions under Chapter VI-A, such as 80C, 80D, etc. - Complete the 'Tax Computation' section to calculate your total tax liability.
10. **Verify and Validate:** - Check all the details you have entered to ensure accuracy. - Validate the form to check for errors.
11. **Generate XML File:** - After completing all the details, generate the XML file from the Java utility.
12. **Upload the XML File:** - Log in to the [Income Tax e-Filing portal](https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/). - Go to 'e-File' and select 'Income Tax Return'. - Upload the generated XML file.
13. **Submit the Return:** - Follow the prompts to complete the submission of your return.
### **Additional Tips**
- **Documentation:** Ensure you have all necessary documentation and records related to your business income and agricultural income. - **Presumptive Scheme Limits:** Ensure that you meet the criteria for the presumptive scheme under Section 44AD, such as having gross receipts not exceeding ₹2 crore. - **Reconciliation:** Reconcile your business income and ensure it is accurately reflected in the return. - **Consultation:** If you have any doubts, consider consulting a tax professional for guidance.
By following these steps, you should be able to correctly claim the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD while using ITR-3.
