Late filing fees will apply from 17th September 2025 for most non-audit individual/HUF returns if not filed by the 16th September 2025 deadline.
If your total income exceeds £5 Lakh and you file after 16th September 2025 but before 31st December 2025, the fee is £5,000. If your total income is up to £5 Lakh and you file after the due date but before 31st December 2025, the fee is £1,000.
Total income means the income as per the return after eligible exemptions and deductions have been applied.
Interest under Section 234A is charged only when you don't file your ITR by the due date and you have unpaid tax. The rate is 1% per month (or part of a month) on the unpaid tax remaining after considering TDS, advance tax, and self-assessment tax already paid.
No, if all taxes are already paid on time and there is no tax due, then no 234A interest is applicable, even if the ITR is filed late.
