Income tax return is a form that allows you to file your taxes with the Income Tax Department. In most cases, the tax return is a worksheet with predefined parameters, which helps calculate your income tax liability based on your income.
The legal framework requires every individual and business to file income tax for each financial year. The returns must be filed for any income earned as a salary, interest, dividends, capital gains, or other sources. More importantly, the income tax returns must be filed before the specified date to avoid late charges and other penalties.
If the income tax return (ITR) shows that you have paid more than the liability, you may file for a refund of the excess tax. However, such refunds are subject to the calculations made by the Income Tax Department.
This form must be used if your income is earned through either a salary or pension. Additionally, if you have income from house property or other sources, excluding lottery winnings or income earned through horseracing, you need to file this ITR form.
If your annual income exceeds INR 50 lakh or you own foreign assets, you cannot file using this form. Moreover, the form may not be used for taxable capital gains, income from multiple properties, agricultural income exceeding INR 5,000, or income from profession or business.

An individual who earns an income from carrying on a profession or business is eligible to file income using the form 3. The form may also be used if your earnings include income from pension or salary or other sources.
If you have opted for the presumptive income scheme under section 44AD, 44ADA, and 44AE, you must use form 4 to file your income tax ITR. However, if your total annual turnover is more than INR 2 crore, you will have to file your income tax using form 3.
