1. Business ITR Overview for Burdwan
Burdwan's business landscape — Rice processing and trading (largest in West Bengal), Coal and mining (proximity to Raniganj), Education (Burdwan University) — means businesses here have diverse tax profiles. Key decisions before filing ITR for FY 2025-26:
- Do you qualify for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD or 44ADA?

- Are you maintaining proper books of accounts?

2. ITR-3 vs ITR-4 for Burdwan Business Owners
| Form | Who Should Use |
|---|---|
| ITR-4 (Sugam) | Businesses in Burdwan opting for presumptive taxation — turnover up to ₹2 crore (Section 44AD) or professional receipts up to ₹75 lakh (Section 44ADA) — with no capital gains or foreign assets |
| ITR-3 | Regular accounting — turnover above audit limits, businesses with capital gains, those not eligible for presumptive taxation, or those maintaining full books |
3. Presumptive Taxation Under Section 44AD for Burdwan Businesses
Small traders and manufacturers in Burdwan with turnover up to ₹2 crore can opt for Section 44AD presumptive taxation — declaring 8% of gross turnover as income (6% for fully digital receipts) without maintaining detailed books. This is ideal for small businesses in Burdwan's Rice processing and trading (largest in West Bengal) sector that want to minimise compliance burden.
Section 44ADA for professionals: Doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, and consultants in Burdwan with gross receipts up to ₹75 lakh can declare 50% as presumptive income under 44ADA.
Important restriction: If you opt out of presumptive in any year, you cannot use it for the next 5 years. Our CA team evaluates whether presumptive is sustainable for your Burdwan business before recommending it.
