• AY2017-2018 ITR to be filed by March 31, 2018

I have three months of salary income between April 2016 - June 2016 and then insurnace comission income and also equity short term gains. There have been a few high value transactions also from my account as I had withdrawn my PF.

After June what was your main source of income. If it was insurance commission only then you need to file ITR 3 otherwise ITR 2.

ITR 3 will be suitable for filing of Salary + Business + Capital Gains income

You can select 44ADA in case of your business income and show without maintenance of books of accounts and show profit of 50% of receipts.

For profession income you have to file ITR 3 as you have salary income also along with it.

If profession amount is not so material then you can file ITR 2 and show the Commission amount under head other sources.

If you want to show insurance commission income as other income you can fill ITR 2. If it is your profession then you must file ITR 3, claim expenses related to it.

Hi,

You can use for ITR-2, by choosing insurance commission income as "income from other sources".

ITR-3 can be used if you want to claim insurance commission as your business.

All the items can be covered under ITR-2.

If you don't have P&L for insurance commission, you can show the same as Income from Other Sources.

Then better you use ITR-2 and show commission income as "Income from other Sources".

Hi

Since you are not showing the commission income as a professional income, you can show it as other income. ITR 2 shall suffice your requirements.

Hope this clarifies.

Simply file ITR 2 and show the commission income under head Other sources and all other incomes in their respective heads.

This will work for sure.

Considering the quantum of insurance commission, you can treat it as other income and file ITR 2.

I don't foresee any challenge.
