The ITR-3 form is used by individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) involved in business or profession who are required to maintain books of accounts. Meaning, if you run your own business or have your own profession (such as a doctor, lawyer, or consultant), you are required to file your Income Tax Return (ITR) using this form. Earlier, sometimes these types of taxpayers were required to manually (offline) file their ITR and hence face delays as the form was not available online for certain periods. However, now the tax department has enabled this form for filing electronically. Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who have income from the following sources use the ITR-3 form to notify their income:

• Income from business or profession
• Income from salary or pension
• Income from house property
• Income from capital gains
• Income from other sources

This action helps taxpayers save their time and efforts, as the online system provides detailed step-by-step guidelines, checks for errors, and allows you to submit it instantly. Online filing systems also speed you up.
