Quick Answer
In practical terms, Business income combined with rental or house-property income generally points to ITR-3, unless the taxpayer is eligible for ITR-4 and its house-property conditions are satisfied.
Two house properties
For AY 2026-27, the Income Tax Department states that ITR-4 can include income from up to two house properties, subject to the form’s other conditions.
