A taxpayer filed their Form 10IE before the 31st July deadline but submitted their Income Tax Return (ITR) belatedly on 13th November. Consequently, the tax department disallowed the claim under Section 115BAC, stating that the option is not available for belated returns as per Section 115BAC(5). The taxpayer is seeking clarification on whether the department is correct and if they can file an ITR-U to claim deductions like 80C, or if rectification and appeal are viable options.

Thanks Sir, I had filled a grievance and department reply following:- Dear RAJNISH,
Greetings from Income Tax Department Helpdesk .
Issue Description: Sir, While processing of my ITR, you have calculated my tax as per old regime, But I had filed 10ie form before 31st july, So Kindly set off my demand and re-process my itr with new tax regime. My previous pending grievance is also submitted for the same issue.
Resolution: Dear Taxpayer, you have filed the original return after the due date for filing the return for the said AY. Hence, u/s 115BAC claimed is disallowed as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act. However, system has computed the Income/tax based on details submitted by you in the return of income
