Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the correct Income Tax Return (ITR) form for an individual working as an agent for a finance or insurance company, with tax deducted at source (TDS) under Section 194H. While previously filing ITR-4, the correct form depends on the nature of income and whether books of accounts are maintained. If the income is solely from agency work with TDS under 194H, ITR-3 is generally recommended, rather than ITR-1 which is for salary income.
