Ideal for salaried or pension income, one home, bank interest or dividends, farm income up to ₹5,000, and—if applicable—small listed-equity long-term gains under section 112A up to ₹1.25 lakh; no business income, no short-term share gains, and no losses carried from an older year

Best when you have more than one house, farm-related income above ₹5,000, or need to use losses from an earlier year—still a salary-and-investments lifestyle, not business or heavy trading

For employees and investors who sold or switched property, shares, mutual funds, bonds, ESOPs, or unlisted stakes and need gains or losses folded in with the rest of their income

Built for day traders, F&O and crypto participants, gig workers, and anyone whose tax story is driven by business or profession—not a plain salary-only return

For NRIs and OCIs with money coming only from India—Indian salary, rent, interest, dividends, or sales of Indian assets—without running a full Indian shop or trading desk here

For residents who lived or worked abroad, hold foreign bank or brokerage accounts, or need credit for tax paid overseas—alongside regular Indian income

Perfect for doctors, lawyers, CAs, consultants, tutors, and similar professionals who want a lighter filing based on fees received—not a full line-by-line expense ledger

Ideal for small shopkeepers, online sellers, service businesses with modest turnover, and owner-drivers with a few goods vehicles who prefer a simple profit mark-up on sales or trips

For sole proprietors and family businesses that outgrow turnover-based schemes—commission or agency work, many trucks, high sales, or real books and audits

For busy practices and freelancers above simplified fee limits, or anyone who must show actual profit and loss instead of a flat share of receipts
