ITR-4 Return Filing

Explore all the details you need about ITR-4 Return Filing, tailored for your needs.

ITR-4 Return Filing is specifically designed for taxpayers who have opted for the presumptive income scheme outlined in Section 44AD, Section 44ADA, and Section 44AE of the Income Tax Act. This form is mandatory for eligible taxpayers and simplifies the process of filing income tax returns for businesses and professionals.

The ITR-4 form is used by individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who have opted for the presumptive income scheme, making it suitable for those engaged in small businesses, professions, or freelancing.

For businesses with annual turnover exceeding Rs. 2 Crores, the ITR-3 form should be used. ITR-5 may also be required in certain situations depending on the taxpayer's profile.

Solocorp offers expert guidance in filing the ITR-4 form, ensuring that all tax details are accurately reported. Our professional team provides you with a seamless filing experience and ensures compliance with tax regulations to avoid any penalties.

Who is Eligible to File Form ITR 4?

ITR 4 Form is designed for individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and firms (excluding Limited Liability Partnerships or LLPs) who choose to utilize the presumptive income scheme as per Sections 44AD, 44ADA, and 44AE of the Income Tax Act.

Taxpayers eligible to file ITR-4 typically include small businesses, freelancers, and professionals who are earning income under the presumptive income scheme and meet the criteria set by the Income Tax Department.

What is a Presumptive Taxation Scheme?

The presumptive taxation scheme is designed to simplify tax compliance for certain individuals and businesses.

Under Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act, individuals and businesses engaged in specific activities are typically required to maintain detailed accounting records. However, Sections 44AD, 44ADA, and 44AE offer relief to small taxpayers by allowing them to estimate their income at prescribed rates, reducing the burden of maintaining extensive financial records.

This scheme is beneficial for taxpayers who qualify, as it provides a simpler method of income calculation without the need for maintaining complex books of accounts.

Section 44AD

Section 44AD allows Resident Individuals, Resident Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and Resident Partnership Firms (excluding Limited Liability Partnerships) engaged in certain businesses to calculate their income on an estimated basis, provided they meet specific conditions.

This scheme offers a simplified method for businesses to compute their income, thus reducing the burden of maintaining detailed financial records.

Section 44ADA

Section 44ADA provides Resident individuals in India who are professionals in fields specified under Section 44AA(1) with a way to estimate their professional income, subject to certain conditions.

This scheme is designed to benefit small professionals, offering them a straightforward approach to calculate income without the need for detailed record-keeping.

Section 44AE

Section 44AE applies to individuals, HUFs, firms (excluding Limited Liability Partnerships), and other residents or non-residents engaged in the business of plying, leasing, or hiring goods carriages. They can estimate their income under this scheme, provided they own not more than ten goods carriages during the previous year.

This scheme simplifies income calculation for businesses in the goods carriage sector, making it easier to comply with tax obligations without maintaining complex records.

Eligibility Criteria for Filing SUGAM (ITR-4) Form

To qualify for using the ITR-4 SUGAM form, the taxpayer must meet the following criteria for the assessment year:
