The Income Tax (I-T) Department has enabled online filing and Excel utility for Income Tax Return-3 (ITR-3) form for the Assessment Year 2026–27 (AY 2026-27) Financial Year 2025-26 (FY 2025-26) on its official e-filing portal.
The ITR-3 form is meant for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) with business or professional income. Taxpayers who are not eligible to use simpler forms such as ITR-1, ITR-2 or ITR-4 are required to file ITR-3.
Who can use ITR 3?
If an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family has income under the heading ‘profits or gains of business or profession’ and is not qualified to submit Form ITR-1 (Sahaj), ITR-2, or ITR-4 (Sugam), they must use the ITR-3 form.
ITR filing due dates for the Assessment Year (AY) 2026-27 (Financial Year 2025-26) depend on your taxpayer category, with the primary deadline for salaried individuals set for July 31, 2026
