The CBDT has notified the Income-tax Return (ITR) Forms (‘New
ITR Forms’) for the Assessment Year 2024-25 vide Notification No.
105/2023, dated 22-12-2023, Notification No. 16/2024, dated 24-01-
2024 and Notification No. 19/2024, dated 31-01-2024.
The applicability of ITR forms to different taxpayers remains un-
changed in the new versions. Nevertheless, the new forms require
additional details from taxpayers. Further, many changes in the
ITR forms are consequential to the amendments made by the
Finance Act 2023.
We have done a thorough analysis of new ITR Forms and high-
lighted all key changes and new requirements in current ITR
forms viz-a-viz last year’s ITR Forms.
These changes are explained below:
The form to be used by a taxpayer to file the Income-tax return for the AY 2024-25 will
be same as applicable for AY 2023-24 which is as follows:
Section 139(4A);
Section 139(4B);
Section 139(4C);
Section 139(4D);
Business Trust ✓
Investment Fund, as referred to in Section 115UB ✓
An assessee having income from a business or profession can also opt out of the new
tax regime and switch to the old tax regime for a relevant year. However, he has to
exercise this option in Form No. 10-IEA on or before the due date for filing the return
of income under Section 139(1).
In simple words, an assessee filing ITR 2 is only required to indicate his choice of tax
regime in the return of income. An assessee filing ITR 3 will be required to file Form
10-IEA to opt out of the new tax regime.
The new ITR Forms have been amended to incorporate this change.
As per the RBI Regulations, all single payment transactions of INR 50 crores and above
undertaken by entities (non-individuals) should include remitter and beneficiary LEI
information. This applies to transactions undertaken through the NEFT and RTGS
payment systems.
In order to be in line with the RBI regulations, the new ITR Forms have incorporated a
column for furnishing details of the LEI number. Such taxpayer is required to furnish
the LEI details if he is seeking a refund of INR 50 crores or more.
• Sales, turnover or gross receipts exceed the limits specified under Section 44AB;
• Others.
Similarly, Section 44ADA was amended to enhance the threshold limit of gross
receipts from INR 50 lakhs to INR 75 lakhs, if the receipts in cash do not exceed 5% of
the total gross receipts for the previous year.
To give effect to the above amendments, the CBDT has amended ITR forms to include
a new column of “receipts in cash” for disclosing cash turnover or cash gross receipts
under the Schedule BP.
Part A-OI (Other Information) consists of information wherein the assessee is required
to furnish the details of any amounts disallowed under Section 43B in any previous
year but allowable during the year.
The Finance Act 2023 has inserted a new clause (h) in Section 43B to provide that any
sum payable to a micro or small enterprise beyond the time limit specified in Section
15 of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006 (MSME Act)
shall not be allowed as a deduction.
Accordingly, a new column is inserted under Part A-OI (Other Information) to disclose
the sum payable to Micro or small enterprises beyond the specified time limit per the
MSMED Act.
In the newly notified ITR Forms, Schedule-CG has been modified to gather more
information pertaining to sums deposited in the Capital Gains Accounts scheme
(CGAS). The revised schedule now requires the inclusion of the following additional
details towards CGAS:
• Date of deposit
• Account number
• IFS code
Until the previous Assessment Year, taxpayers were only required to provide details
pertaining to the sum deposited in CGAS.
To report such income in ITR form, Schedule OS has been amended to disclose
income by way of winning from online games chargeable under Section 115BBJ.
• Date of Contribution
Unlike the previous ITRs, the new ITR forms require disclosing additional information
beyond just the amount eligible for deduction under Section 80GGC.
In order to enhance transparency, the new ITR forms amended this schedule to seek
additional details such as the PAN of the employer (an eligible startup) and its DPIIT
Registration number.
New ITR forms have been amended to include a column to furnish the amount
eligible for deduction under Section 80CCH.
• Nature of disability
In the previous ITR forms, the taxpayers were required to mention the amount
claimed as a deduction under Section 80DD in Schedule VI-A. The new ITR forms
have introduced a new ‘Schedule 80DD’ seeking details of deduction in respect of
maintenance, including medical treatment of a dependent with a disability.
• UDID Number
‘Schedule OS’ has been amended in new ITR forms to incorporate such change.
ITR forms have been updated to incorporate reporting of such income in Schedule-
OS.
Section 56 of the Act provides for the chargeability of any income under the head
“Income from Other Sources”. Section 56(2)(xii) provides that the sum received by
the unitholder shall be taxable under the head of other sources. Further, in case of
redemption of units, it is provided under the proviso to clause (xii) of Section 56(2)
that the cost of acquisition of the unit shall be allowed to be deducted from the sum
received on redemption.
To report income earned by the unitholder under Section 56(2)(xii), ITR forms have
been amended to include a new column under Schedule-OS.
In the new ITR forms, it is obligatory for the taxpayer to disclose all the bank accounts
they have ever held, with the exception of dormant accounts.
An assessee opting for Section 115BAC is not eligible to set off the unabsorbed
depreciation attributable to additional depreciation. Such unabsorbed depreciation
relating to additional depreciation which has not been given full effect shall be
adjusted to the written down value (WDV) of the block of assets as on 01-04-2023 in
the prescribed manner. Third proviso to Rule 5(1) provides that the WDV of the block
of asset as on 01-4-2023 shall be increased by such depreciation not allowed to set off.
In the new ITR Forms, Schedule DPM, which deals with depreciation on Plant and
Machinery, has been amended. It provides that the WDV of the block as on 01-4-
2023 shall be increased by the amount of unabsorbed depreciation (pertaining to
additional depreciation), which was not allowed to be adjusted on account of opting
for Section 115BAC.
New ITR Forms has a new Schedule seeking details with respect to the deductions
claimed by companies under Section 80-IAC. This includes the following:
• Nature of business
In the previous ITR Forms, only the information about the amount eligible for
deduction under Section 80-IAC was sought.
• Type of entity
• Date of registration
• Registration number
If an entity, such as a Section 8 company, gets converted into a form that is not
eligible for registration under Section 12AB or approval under Section 10(23C), it will
be ineligible to file its income tax return in ITR-7. It shall pay tax as per the normal
provisions and report such income in the ITR. Additionally, it will be liable to pay tax
on its accreted income, which will be levied at the maximum marginal tax rate. This
tax is in addition to income tax, which is chargeable in the hands of the specified trust
or institution.
Therefore, a new Schedule 115TD has been inserted in the ITR form for the reporting
of tax payable on accreted income. This schedule requires various details such as the
computation of accreted income (FMV of total assets as reduced by the total liability),
tax payable on accreted income and details of challans for deposit of tax on accreted
income.
In order to avail the benefit of Section 115BAE, the co-operative society is required
to furnish Form No. 10-IFA on or before the due date specified under Section 139(1)
in the first return of income for any previous year relevant to the assessment year
commencing on or after 1st day of April 2024.
To align the changes brought by the Finance Act of 2023, a new field has been
inserted seeking details on whether the assessee is a manufacturing co-operative
society opting for taxation under Section 115BAE.
Further, date of filing Form 10-IFA and its acknowledgement number is required to
be furnished.
