ITR-5 Income Tax Return Filing – Tailored Solutions for Firms & Non-Corporate Entities

The Income Tax Department of India provides different ITR forms based on the taxpayer's classification and source of income. Among them, ITR-5 is exclusively designed for entities such as partnership firms, LLPs, Associations of Persons (AOP), Bodies of Individuals (BOI), and other non-corporate organizations who are not required to file returns under company-specific forms.

These entities, although not structured as companies, are still obligated to declare their income, claim deductions, and fulfil their tax responsibilities annually. ITR-5 serves as the official channel for reporting such financial details to the Income Tax Department in a structured and compliant manner.

At MEQUINTRAX DIGITALSERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED, we offer dedicated ITR-5 return filing services that eliminate the stress and complexity of tax filing. Our team ensures that your financial data is accurately presented, timely submitted, and fully compliant with current tax laws.

Who Can File the ITR-5 Form?

Due Dates for Filing ITR-5 Form

The due date for filing the ITR-5 form varies based on whether the taxpayer is required to get their accounts audited or submit a transfer pricing report. Here's a clear breakdown of the deadlines:

1. When Audit is Applicable (Under Income Tax Act):

If the entity’s accounts are subject to mandatory audit under the Income Tax Act, the due date for filing ITR-5 is 31st October of the relevant assessment year.


2. When Transfer Pricing Report (Form 3CEB) is Applicable:

In case the taxpayer is required to submit a report in Form No. 3CEB (due to international or specified domestic transactions), the due date for filing ITR-5 extends to 30th November of the assessment year.


3. In All Other Cases (No Audit Required):


For entities not liable for audit under the Income Tax Act, the ITR-5 return must be filed by 31st July of the assessment year.

Missing the deadline may result in late filing fees under Section 234F and potential interest or penalties, so timely compliance is essential.
