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.
