Yes, you can file ITR-4 for the Assessment Year (AY) 2013-14 if the assessee has any income from sources other than the business with turnover less than ₹60 lakhs. Here's a detailed breakdown:
### **ITR-4S vs ITR-4:**
**1. **ITR-4S (Sugam):** - **Eligibility:** - Applicable for individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and businesses (other than companies) with a turnover up to ₹60 lakhs. - Businesses that do not maintain books of accounts and wish to opt for the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD, 44AE, or 44AF. - **Income Types:** - Presumptive income from business under Section 44AD (small businesses), 44AE (transport businesses), and 44AF (retail businesses). - Income from other sources, but the form is simplified and primarily for presumptive taxation.
**2. **ITR-4:** - **Eligibility:** - Applicable for individuals, HUFs, and businesses (other than companies) who have opted for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD, 44AE, or 44AF. - Can also be used if the assessee has additional income from other sources. - **Income Types:** - Income from business or profession (other than under presumptive taxation). - Income from partnership firms. - Other income such as capital gains, rental income, etc. - **Features:** - More detailed than ITR-4S and allows reporting of various types of income and expenses.
### **For AY 2013-14:**
1. **Turnover Less than ₹60 Lakhs:** - If the business turnover is below ₹60 lakhs and the business income is under presumptive taxation (Section 44AD, 44AE, or 44AF), you can file ITR-4S. - If the assessee has any additional sources of income (e.g., partnership income, capital gains), or if the business is not covered under presumptive taxation, you should file ITR-4.
2. **Other Income Sources:** - **Income from Partnership Firm:** - Report in ITR-4 under the "Income from Partnership Firm" section. - **Other Income:** - Report other incomes like capital gains, rental income, etc., in the respective sections of ITR-4.
### **Summary for AY 2013-14:**
