Filling of it return


This query is : Resolved 

20 August 2014 Can any one help me to know whether filling of IT return is mandatory if the income cross Rs.250000 and the tax liability is Nil

20 August 2014 Section 139(1) says If total income does not exceed the Maximum amount not chargeable to Tax then it is not mandatory to file the Income Tax Return. Total Income is Income under all heads after deduction under Chapter VIA and excluding the amounts covered u/s 10 i.e., Amount not to be included in total income.

So if after chapter VIA Deduction Taxable Income is less than Rs 2.5 lacs then its not mandatory to file income tax return.

20 August 2014 It is mandatory to File Income tax return in your case

As per proviso to Section 139(1)
.
Because your total income before deducting deductions under section 10A,10B,10BA and chapter VIA exceeded the maximum amount not chargeable to tax
.
.
So mandatory to file return,however after claiming Chapter VIA tax liability may be Nil.

Note:139(1) Specifically says here income s before giving effect of 10A,10B,10BA and Chapter VIA Deductions

20 August 2014 have to agree with Ganesh on account of fifth proviso to section 139(1)

21 August 2014 Thanks to all for your valuable reply, but if anyone will not file the return then, is he will have to pay penalty, if yes how much.

21 August 2014 Rs 5000 under section 271F

21 August 2014 Sir I have not filed my returns last two years, and my total income is also exceeds the exemption limit but there is no tax liability as i have sufficient savings.So what i will do? Shall I have to pay Rs.5000/- for each year as penalty or there is any remedy to correct the mistake.


21 August 2014 you will have to pay the penalty only if the Tax officer levies the penalty.

21 August 2014 thanks a lot for providing me the details

21 August 2014 you are welcome friend.....

21 August 2014 Thank You Ganeshbabu Ji for correction.

22 August 2014 agree with Ganeshbabu and Nikhil
