What is  ITR7?

ITR7 is meant for the companies that have income associated with charitable and religious properties. In this category are properties that are held in trusts or under legal obligation in part or even entirely. This form is applied to a person or a company that is subject to section 139(4A) or section 139 (4B) or section 139 (4C) or section 139(4D).

You can choose to submit your returns on the ITR Form 7 by barcoded form, paperback form, digital signature mode, or by submitting a return verification through ITR-V.

No Requirement of Annexures

While filing ITR7, there is no requirement of any annexures, which implies that including TDS the process does not need any documents to be attached.

Taxpayers should verify the deducted or collected taxes on their behalf with form 26AS (which is their Tax Credit Statement form).
