ITR-3 is an income tax return form used in India by individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who earn income from profits and gains of business or profession, but not from a proprietary business. This form is suitable for partners in firms and covers various sources of income such as salary, house property, capital gains (both short-term and long-term), and other sources like interest income.
