Why is ITR-3 Important for Taxpayers?
ITR-3 is specifically for individuals and HUFs who derive income from business or profession, along with other sources like salary, property, or capital gains. It is also applicable for those who opt for the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE. The form facilitates proper reporting of financial details, ensuring compliance with Indian tax laws. As businesses and professionals prepare to file their returns for AY 2024-25, this updated utility plays a crucial role in simplifying the complex tax filing process.
