My query is that if a belated return [139(4)] of A.Y. 04-05 is filed after its due date of 1 year from the end of the relevant A.Y. which in this case is 31.03.2006, can a refund still be claimed? FYI, the return in this case was filed in December 2006.
If yes/no, under which section? Elaboration will be appreciated.

YES, YOU CAN CLAIM REFUND IN BELATED RETURN, THERE IS NO RESTRICTION TO CLAIM REFUND IN BELATED RETURN. IN BELATED RETURN U/S 139(4) THERE IS FOLLOWING CONSEQUENCES : 1 YOU CAN'T REVISE RETURN 2. YOU CAN C/F LOSSES 3. YOU CAN'T CLAIM LOSS OF HOUSEPROPERTY WHICH IS ARISE CLAIMING OF INTEREST ON HOUSE LOAN.

Thanks for this information, sir. But in my case, the belated return has been filed even after the due date for filing belated returns i.e. after 2 years from the end of the relevant F.Y. which is 31.03.2004. Would this affect the validity of the refund claim or lead to any penalty being imposed?
