How to file ITR-6 Form?
ITR 6 has to be compulsorily furnished under digital signature through the electronic mode on the Income Tax Department’s tax filing portal.
- Register yourself using details like PAN, date of birth, etc., and choose a password. Your PAN will be your user ID.
- Choose How You Want to e-file - You can either download this form, save it to your desktop, fill it and upload it to the site; or you can fill in details in an online form.
- Select the Form Type “ITR 6 Form” from all the options.
- Keep the documents including PAN, Form 16, TDS certificates, details of investment, interest statements, life insurance, and home loans ready. If your income for the FY is more than ₹1 crore, you will have to fill an additional form of ‘Assets and Liabilities’. In Schedule-TDS, taxpayers are now required to mention the specific section of the Income Tax Act under which TDS was deducted (e.g., 194A, 194C). This enhancement promotes better traceability and transparency in tax credit claims.

No annexure required: No document (including TDS certificate) should be attached with this return form while filing ITR-6.
Also, taxpayers are advised to match the taxes deducted/collected/paid by them with their Tax Credit Statement Form 26AS.
