7. Brief Scheme of the Law for Filing Income Tax Return Form ITR-3 for A.Y. 2018-19

Before filling out the form, you are advised to read the following-

(1) Computation of total income

(a) “Previous year” is the financial year (1^st April to the following 31^st March) during which the income in question has been earned. “Assessment Year” is the financial year immediately following the previous year.

(b) Total income is to be computed as follows, in the following order:

(i) Classify all items of income under the following heads of income-(A) Salaries; (B) “Income from house property”; (C) “Profit and gains from business or profession”; (D) “Capital gains”; and (E) “Income from other sources”. [There may be no income under one or more of the heads at (A), (B), (D) and (E)].

(ii) Compute taxable income of the current year (i.e., the previous year) under each head of income separately in the Schedules which have been structured so as to help you in making these computations as per provisions of the Income-tax Act. These statutory provisions decide what is to be included in your income, what you can claim as an expenditure or allowance and how much, and also what you cannot claim as an expenditure/allowance.

(iii) Set off current year’s headwise loss(es) against current year’s headwise income(s) as per procedures prescribed by the law. A separate Schedule is provided for such set-off.

(iv) Set off, as per procedures prescribed by the law, loss(es) and/or allowance(s) of earlier assessment year(s) brought forward. Also, compute loss(es) and/or allowance(s) that could be set off in future and is (are) to be carried forward as per procedures prescribed by the law. Separate Schedules are provided for this.

(v) Aggregate the headwise end-results as available after (iv) above; this will give you “gross total income”.

(vi) From gross total income, subtract, as per procedures prescribed by the law, “deductions” mentioned in Chapter VIA of the Income-tax Act. The result will be the total income. Besides, calculate agricultural income for rate purposes.

(2) Computation of income-tax, surcharge, education cess including secondary and higher education cess and interest in respect of income chargeable to tax
