LIC AGENT COMMISSION WHICH ITR SHOULD BE FILE

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An LIC agent who received commission income of Rs 5,87,000 in FY 2020-21 is unsure which Income Tax Return (ITR) to file, especially after receiving a notice for a defective return (139(9)) last year. The agent doesn't maintain books of accounts and had filed ITR 3 previously, which led to the notice requiring a Profit & Loss account and Balance Sheet. The agent is seeking advice on whether to file ITR 3 again to avoid penalties or if there's a better alternative, given the lack of expenses and office.

05 October 2021 File ITR 3.
In p and l fill full income zero expenses.
In balance sheet fill bank balance and equivalent share capital.
That's filling bs and p and l in your case, your return will be accepted.
