ITR-3
Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families who earn profit and gains from business or profession can use the ITR 3 Form.

If the individual or Hindu undivided family earns money as a partner in a partnership firm that does business, ITR-3 cannot be submitted since the individual must file ITR-2 instead.

ITR 3 Form can be used when the income of the assessee falls in the categories that are mentioned below:

Income from carrying a profession

Apart from this, the returns of the business can also include the house property, the salary or pension, and the income from other sources.
