ITR-6Income Tax
Company Tax Return
(ITR-6)
Definition
The income tax return form specific to companies. Must be filed electronically with a Digital Signature Certificate. Due October 31 every year for the previous financial year. Companies must file even if they have zero revenue or are making a loss.
Why founders care
Loss returns must be filed on time — if you miss the deadline, you lose the ability to carry forward losses to offset future profits (which can cost you significantly in tax later).
