ITR-3 does not have one universal due date.
ITR-3 does not have one universal due date. The applicable date depends on whether tax audit, transfer-pricing reporting or another statutory category applies. Check the current e-filing portal and CBDT orders before filing.
ITR-3 is generally used by individuals and HUFs having income from business or profession and not eligible for simpler forms. Due dates arise from section 139(1), not merely from the form name. The user must classify the return as non-audit, tax-audit, or a case requiring a report under section 92E. Tax-audit report due dates and return due dates are related but distinct. AY 2026–27 concerns FY 2025–26 and remains under the 1961 Act despite the 2025 Act commencing for the next tax year.
Meera carries on a consulting profession and does not cross the applicable audit threshold. Her ITR-3 deadline follows the non-audit category unless another provision applies. Kabir operates a business requiring tax audit; his report and return follow the audit timetable. A third taxpayer with international transactions requiring section 92E reporting follows the specified-transfer-pricing category. A form-only deadline table would wrongly put all three on one date.
