Who Must File a Business ITR in Assam?

Every business entity operating in Assam — regardless of profit or loss — is legally required to file an Income Tax Return under Section 139 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

🧑‍💼

Sole Proprietors & Individuals

Shops, hotels, restaurants, clinics, and freelancers with income above the basic exemption limit must file ITR-3 or ITR-4.

🤝

Partnership Firms

Every registered partnership firm in Assam must file ITR-5 — regardless of whether it earned a profit or incurred a loss.

⚖️

LLPs

All LLPs registered under the LLP Act, 2008 operating in Assam must compulsorily file ITR-5 every financial year.

🏢

Private Limited & OPC Companies

Every company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 must file ITR-6 without exception — profit or no profit.

🌿

Tea Estates & Agri-Businesses

Tea companies file ITR-6; 60% income is exempt as agricultural income and 40% is taxable business income.

🚛

Transporters

Goods vehicle operators in Tinsukia, Nagaon, and Dibrugarh can use Section 44AE presumptive scheme and file ITR-4.

⚠️ Common Misconception: Many small business owners in Assam — especially in Dhubri, Barpeta, Goalpara, and Hojai — believe low-turnover businesses need not file ITR. This is incorrect. Once your entity is registered, annual ITR filing is mandatory regardless of turnover.
