Expert Assistance for ITR-4 (SUGAM) Form Filing
The ITR-4 form, also known as the SUGAM form, is designed for taxpayers opting for the Presumptive Taxation Scheme under Sections 44AD, 44ADA, and 44AE of the Income Tax Act. Taxpayers with eligible income must file this form to comply with income tax regulations. Businesses with annual turnover exceeding ₹2 Crores should instead file ITR-3. In certain cases, ITR-5 may also be applicable. At Taxation Point India, we provide expert guidance for accurate and timely ITR-4 filing.
Who is Eligible to File ITR-4?
ITR-4 is intended for individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and firms (excluding LLPs) who opt for the presumptive taxation scheme under Sections 44AD, 44ADA, and 44AE. Eligible taxpayers include:
- Individuals or HUFs with income from salary, pension, or a single house property.
- Business income computed on a presumptive basis (turnover up to ₹2 Crores under Section 44AD).
- Income from goods carriage with up to ten vehicles (Section 44AE).
- Professionals reporting presumptive income under Section 44ADA (gross receipts up to ₹50 lakh).
- Income from interest or family pension taxable under “Other Sources.”
What is a Presumptive Taxation Scheme?
The Presumptive Taxation Scheme simplifies tax compliance for small taxpayers. Instead of maintaining detailed books of accounts (as per Section 44AA), eligible taxpayers can declare income at prescribed rates:
- Section 44AD: For small businesses, allows estimating income on a presumptive basis.
- Section 44ADA: For professionals, enables presumptive calculation of professional income.
- Section 44AE: For goods carriage owners, income can be estimated if not exceeding ten vehicles.
Who Cannot Use ITR-4?
The SUGAM form is not applicable to:
- Directors of companies or holders of unlisted equity shares.

- Agricultural income exceeding ₹5,000.
- Cases involving losses or deductions not covered under the presumptive taxation scheme.
