Defective return 139(9) AY 20-21

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A client filed a defective tax return for AY 20-21 and has now realised there's a refund due. Normally, revising or rectifying such a return isn't possible after the deadline. However, it might be possible to file a condonation application with the jurisdiction CIT under section 119(2)(b). This application needs to be made via a letter, not online, and should explain why the defect wasn't addressed earlier, such as not seeing the communication.
