14 May 2026 One of my clients, who is currently in Ireland, wants to file an ITR for AY 2019-20, 2021-22 & 2022-23the following years to submit the same to the Australian Embassy for visa processing.

He was employed as a Project Manager at his friend's company, and they paid him a salary in cash. He filed ITR for the AY 2020-21.

Can he file ITR for AY 2019-20,2021-22 & 2022-23 now - say 15/05/2026

Kindly advise.

15 May 2026 * Normal belated ITR filing for AY 19-20, 21-22 and 22-23 is no longer possible in May 2026.
* Only ITR-U route may be available for some years, especially possibly AY 22-23 subject to portal eligibility.
* AY 2019-20 is practically fully time-barred.
* Cash salary cases require strong supporting documentation.
* Returns should be genuine and properly supported, especially when intended for embassy/visa use.
