The Income Tax Department has made online filing of Income Tax Return (ITR-6) for Assessment Year (AY) 2026-27 available on the e-Filing portal. Companies that are required to file their income tax returns using ITR-6 can now proceed with online return filing for the relevant assessment year.
ITR-6 Online Filing for AY 2026-27
ITR-6 is applicable to companies other than those claiming exemption under Section 11 of the Income-tax Act . With the online filing facility now enabled for AY 2026-27, eligible companies can log in to the Income Tax e-Filing portal and complete their return filing process electronically.
The availability of the form is particularly important for companies preparing their tax returns and financial information for FY 2025-26.
Who Can File ITR-6?
ITR-6 is generally applicable to companies that are not required to file their return in ITR-7. Companies incorporated under the Companies Act and not claiming exemption under Section 11 typically use this return form.
The form captures comprehensive information relating to the company's income, deductions, tax liability, financial statements and other tax-related disclosures.
What Companies Should Do Now
Companies eligible to file ITR-6 should start the return preparation process early. This can help identify missing information, reconcile tax credits and resolve reporting issues before the filing deadline.
Since corporate returns involve extensive financial and tax disclosures, taxpayers should also ensure that the return is properly reviewed before final submission and verification.
