Delay Income tax return

This query is : Resolved 

16 February 2024 sir,

What to do if return filing is delayed for any reason and 31st December passes.


16 February 2024 File updated return with payment of 25% extra tax.

16 February 2024 Yes I agreed with Mr CA R Seetharaman Sir... Note: ITR U (updated return) will be file if any Tax liability arise.

17 August 2025 Section 234F Penalty:
Income ≤ ₹5 lakh → ₹1,000
Income > ₹5 lakh → ₹5,000
Filing after Dec 31 → penalty can increase, but capped at ₹10,000.
Interest (Section 234A): Applies at 1% per month on unpaid tax from the due date until filing.
Extended ITR Filing Date for FY 2024–25: Deadline is September 15—but tax must be paid by July 31 to avoid penal interest.
Revised ITR Timeframe: Can now be filed only up to 9 months from end of relevant AY, not 2 years.
Operational Penalties: Late filing delays refunds and forfeits loss carry-forward eligibility.
Future Relief: Income Tax Bill, 2025 proposes to waive penalties for late filers who are filing only to claim refunds, even if not mandatorily required to file.
