ITR3 is to be used by an individual or an Hindu Undivided Family who is a partner in a firm and where income chargeable to Income Tax under the head “Profits or gains of business or profession” does not include any income except the income by way of any interest, salary, bonus, commission or remuneration, by whatever name called, due to, or received by him from such firm.
In case a partner in the firm does not have any income from the firm by way of interest, salary, etc. and has only exempt income by way of share in the profit of the firm, he shall use ITR3 form only and not Form ITR-2.
