ITR-5 Form Filing

Income Tax Return (ITR) filing is a mandatory statutory requirement that ensures all the eligible entities accurately report their income and comply with the Indian tax laws. ITR-5 is the detailed return form meant for entities with complex income structures that do not qualify for the simpler returns (ITR-1 to ITR-4). It is primarily used by the Association of Persons (AOPs), Bodies of Individuals (BOIs), firms (excluding LLPs), and certain trusts.

ITR-5 form requires comprehensive disclosure of income from multiple sources—such as business or professional activities, salary, house property, capital gains, and other incomes—along with detailed financial statements. Although ITR-5 filing involves a higher degree of documentation and sometimes audited accounts, it provides full transparency, helping these entities meet statutory requirements, claim all eligible deductions, and maintain robust financial records for future credit or legal purposes.

What is ITR-5 Form?

ITR-5 is the income tax return form prescribed for entities that do not fall under the simplified forms. Specifically, it is used by:

Association of Persons (AOPs) and Bodies of Individuals (BOIs)
Firms (including traditional partnership firms that are not registered as LLPs)
Trusts (non-charitable trusts; charitable institutions and political parties file ITR-7)
Other non-corporate entities that have complex income sources

This form requires detailed disclosure of all income heads—whether from business, professional services, salary, house property, capital gains, or other sources—to ensure that the tax liability is computed correctly with all supporting documentation.
