ITR-6 Filing

ITR-6 is the income tax return form for all companies incorporated in India — except companies claiming exemption under Section 11 (trusts and NGOs). This includes Private Limited Companies, Public Limited Companies, OPCs, producer companies, and foreign companies with Indian income.

Service Overview

Corporate Tax Compliance Done Right

Every company registered in India must file ITR-6 annually — even if it has no income or has been dormant all year. The return covers all income types, detailed financial data, related party transactions, and ICDS (Income Computation and Disclosure Standards) adjustments. Companies with turnover above ₹1 crore (₹10 crores for digital transactions) must also complete a Tax Audit. With increasing data-sharing between MCA, GST, TDS, and the Income Tax Department, errors in ITR-6 trigger automatic notices. Our CA team ensures clean, complete, and optimized filings.

Critical: Companies must file ITR-6 mandatorily with DSC — no Aadhaar OTP or EVC allowed. A company whose turnover exceeds ₹1 crore must also file the tax audit report (Form 3CA/3CB + 3CD) before or along with the return. The audit report due date is September 30; the ITR due date for audit cases is October 31.

Corporate Income Computation

Net profit → taxable income

Company taxable income is computed by taking book profit and making specific additions (disallowed expenses) and deductions (incentives, accelerated depreciation) under the Income Tax Act.

MAT / AMT Computation

Minimum Alternate Tax check

If regular tax is less than 15% of book profit, MAT (Minimum Alternate Tax) under Section 115JB applies. We compute both regular tax and MAT to determine actual liability.

Tax Audit (44AB)

Mandatory for most companies

Companies with turnover exceeding ₹1 crore must undergo a tax audit. We prepare Form 3CA and Form 3CD with all required disclosures by the September 30 deadline.

ICDS Adjustments

Income Computation and Disclosure Standards

10 ICDS have been notified by CBDT. We apply all applicable ICDS adjustments to book profits before computing taxable income — ensuring compliance and avoiding disputes.

Eligibility Criteria

Who Files ITR-6?

All companies except those claiming Section 11 exemption must file ITR-6.

1

All Companies Under Companies Act

Private Limited, Public Limited, OPC, Producer Companies, and Nidhi Companies must file ITR-6 annually — regardless of income level or operational status.

2

Foreign Companies with Indian Income

Foreign companies having a Permanent Establishment (PE) in India or earning Indian-source income must file ITR-6 (or ITR-7 if eligible for treaty exemptions).

3

Dormant Companies

Even a company with no transactions, no employees, and no revenue must file ITR-6. Filing nil returns is mandatory to maintain the company's active status.

4

Companies Not Claiming Section 11 Exemption

Section 8 (NGO) companies that have not obtained 12A registration, or those that have income not covered by 12A exemption, file ITR-6.

Key Benefits

Why Expert ITR-6 Filing Protects Your Company

Corporate tax is complex and high-stakes. Errors cost far more than compliance fees.

01

MAT Credit Utilization

If MAT paid in prior years exceeds regular tax now, MAT credit can be claimed as a deduction. We track and utilize all accumulated MAT credits.

02

Deduction Planning

We identify and correctly claim all eligible deductions — Section 35 (scientific research), Section 36 (bad debts), Section 80-IC (special zones), and startup deductions.

03

Loss Carry Forward

Unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward indefinitely; business losses for 8 years — but only if the return is filed on time. Critical for loss-making early-stage companies.

04

Prevent MCA-ITD Mismatch

Revenue in ITR-6 must match the MCA financial statements filed in AOC-4. We reconcile both filings to prevent automated cross-database scrutiny notices.

05

Transfer Pricing (if applicable)

Companies with foreign parent/subsidiary transactions must comply with transfer pricing regulations and file Form 3CEB. We handle this as part of the filing.

06

Startup Tax Holiday (80-IAC)

DPIIT-recognized startups claiming 3-year income tax holiday under Section 80-IAC must correctly claim this in their ITR-6 with supporting IMB approval documentation.
