Quick Summary

If your tax return for AY 2021-22 has been deemed defective without any prior notification, you may have recourse. The standard 15-day window for response has passed, and you cannot file an Income Tax Return (ITR) U if a refund is due. However, if tax is payable, an ITR-U might be an option after seeking condonation from the CIT under section 119(2)(b).

10 May 2022 Yes, you cannot file your ITR now.
You are also not eligible to file ITR U if there is refund.
If tax is to be paid in your return then you can file ITR U.
