No, individuals cannot file ITR-5. It is exclusively for non-individual, non-company entities such as Partnership Firms, LLPs, AOP, BOI, Trusts, Cooperative Societies, and Estates of deceased/insolvent persons. Individuals must file ITR-1, 2, or 3 depending on their income type.
For entities not requiring a tax audit: 31st July 2025. For entities requiring a tax audit under Section 44AB: 31st October 2025. For entities with International/Domestic Transfer Pricing cases: 30th November 2025. Filing after the due date attracts a late fee of ₹5,000 (₹1,000 if income is below ₹5 lakh) under Section 234F.
Yes. Even if there is NIL income, an LLP is legally required to file ITR-5 every year to remain compliant. Failure to file can result in penalties, loss of carry-forward losses, and complications during future audits or bank loan applications.
Tax audit under Section 44AB is mandatory if your firm's total turnover/gross receipts exceed ₹1 crore in a financial year (or ₹10 crore if 95%+ of all receipts and payments are through banking/digital channels). For professional income, the threshold is ₹50 lakh. SSA TAX conducts audits in-house no need to engage a separate CA.
Yes, subject to Section 40(b) limits. Partner's remuneration is allowed up to: ₹3 lakh or 90% of book profit (for the first ₹3L of book profit), whichever is higher; and 60% of balance book profit. Interest on capital is allowed up to 12% per annum as per the partnership deed. Our CAs ensure maximum deductions are claimed correctly.
You should file ITR-4 (Sugam), not ITR-5, if you are a partnership firm opting for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD/44ADA/44AE. ITR-5 is for firms maintaining regular books of accounts and not opting for presumptive taxation.
Late filing fee under Section 234F: ₹5,000 if filed before 31st December; ₹10,000 if filed after 31st December (₹1,000 if total income is below ₹5 lakh). Additionally, you lose the ability to carry forward losses, and interest under Section 234A @ 1% per month on unpaid tax applies. In serious cases, the Assessing Officer may impose penalties under Section 271F up to ₹1 lakh.

ITR-5 is for LLPs, Partnership Firms, AOP, BOI, Trusts (not claiming Sec. 11), and Societies.

ITR-7 is for entities claiming exemptions under Sections 11/12A (like registered charitable trusts, political parties, research institutions, and universities). The key difference lies in the legal structure and the exemptions being claimed.
Absolutely. SSA TAX offers complete accounting and bookkeeping services including Tally entries, GST reconciliation, balance sheet preparation, and P&L computation. We can take your raw bank statements and invoices and prepare publication-ready financial statements before filing your ITR-5.
