Overview
What is Company ITR Filing (ITR-6)?
A company files its income tax return in ITR-6 (companies other than those claiming exemption under Section 11). Filing is mandatory every year regardless of whether the company made a profit, traded, or stayed dormant.
The return is built from the company's audited financial statements, with the tax computed at the applicable corporate rate (and MAT/AMT considered where relevant). Many companies also need a tax audit under Section 44AB, which precedes the ITR.
The dates are fixed and worth diarising backwards from. For AY 2026-27 a company's return is due 31 October 2026, moving to 30 November where transfer pricing applies. Where a tax audit is required, section 63(5)(a) puts the report one month before the return — so 30 September — and the return cannot sensibly go in until the report is accepted. Companies also deduct tax, which makes the quarterly TDS return a parallel obligation with its own calendar.
We prepare ITR-6 from your audited accounts, coordinate the tax audit where needed, compute the tax, and file it — keeping your company compliant alongside its ROC filings.

A clear path from start to filed
Official filing
How the Income Tax e-filing portal (incometax.gov.in) flow works
ITR-6 is filed on the Income Tax portal, signed with the company's digital signature, from the audited accounts. Where a tax audit under Section 44AB applies, the audit report (Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD) is filed before the return.
We prepare, review and file through the official portal. We don't claim a private API and make no promise on tax outcome — it depends on the company's accounts and the law.

Which ITR form do companies file?
Companies file ITR-6 (other than those claiming exemption under Section 11). It's mandatory every year, regardless of profit or activity.

Should the ITR match our ROC filings?
The financials in your ITR-6 should be consistent with the audited accounts filed in AOC-4. We keep them aligned.
Can you file pending company returns?
Depending on the year, a belated or updated return may be possible. We advise what's available and file it.
