The ITR-6 Form is specifically designed for companies that do not claim exemption under Section 11 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It is a mandatory return that must be filed electronically with a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Companies are required to report details related to their income, expenses, tax payments, deductions, audits, and statutory compliance within this return.
ITR-6 is the comprehensive Income Tax Return form applicable to all companies, excluding those derived from charitable/religious property. Key components include:
"Ensuring corporate transparency through precise digital reporting."
The form must be filed by all eligible companies registered under the Companies Act, ensuring full corporate transparency.
Standard corporate entities with taxable income.
Listed or unlisted large-scale operations.
One Person Companies needing tax compliance.
Operating via Indian branches or subsidiaries.
Ensure your company meets these base requirements before filing.
Specific entities are barred from using ITR-6 due to their special tax exemptions or organizational structure.
Section 11 Exemptions: Trusts, societies, or institutions established for charitable or religious purposes.
Non-corporate Entities: Individuals, HUFs, Partnership Firms & LLPs, and Sole Proprietorships.
ITR-7 Filers: Political parties, research associations, or entities claiming specific exemptions.
If you earn only from salary, one house property, and other sources (without business income), you should file ITR-1 or ITR-2 depending on your case.
Charitable/religious entities should file ITR-7, not ITR-6, to preserve their status.
Individuals & HUFs use ITR-1 to ITR-4 based on their specific income streams.
Firms and LLPs generally file ITR-5 unless they qualify for ITR-7 exemptions.
Political parties and research associations must file ITR-7 per statutory norms.

Profits earned from sale of assets, taxed as short-term or long-term depending on holding period and asset type.
Residual income not classified elsewhere must be reported here for total accurate tax calculation.
