02 August 2024 For filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) for Assessment Years (AY) 2008-09 and 2009-10, here are the details and due dates, as well as the relevant codes to use:

### Filing IT Return for AY 2008-09 and AY 2009-10

#### AY 2008-09 (FY 2007-08)
1. **Can You File the Return?**
- **Belated Return:** You can file a belated return for AY 2008-09, but only if you have not already filed a return and it is still within the time limits prescribed by the Income Tax Act.
- **Section 139(4):** Under Section 139(4), you can file a belated return up to **one year from the end of the relevant assessment year**. For AY 2008-09, this would have been up to March 31, 2010. Since this period has long expired, filing a return now would not be possible through the standard process.

2. **Due Date for Filing:**
- **Normal Due Date:** For AY 2008-09, the normal due date was **July 31, 2008**.
- **Belated Return Due Date:** For AY 2008-09, the belated return was due by March 31, 2010.

3. **Options:**
- **Contact the IT Department:** If you have not filed for AY 2008-09 and the period for filing a belated return has expired, you may need to contact the Income Tax Department for further advice or see if they can provide any alternative solutions. In general, the department may not accept returns beyond the prescribed period.

#### AY 2009-10 (FY 2008-09)
1. **Can You File the Return?**
- **Belated Return:** You can file a belated return for AY 2009-10, but similar to AY 2008-09, it must be done within the prescribed time limits.
- **Section 139(4):** For AY 2009-10, you could file a belated return up to March 31, 2011. Since this period has expired, filing a return now is generally not possible through the standard process.

2. **Due Date for Filing:**
- **Normal Due Date:** For AY 2009-10, the normal due date was **July 31, 2009**.
- **Belated Return Due Date:** For AY 2009-10, the belated return was due by March 31, 2011.

3. **Options:**
- **Contact the IT Department:** For AY 2009-10, if you wish to file a return now, contact the Income Tax Department or consult with a tax professional for guidance. They may offer solutions based on the specifics of your case.

#### Codes to Use
1. **Code 11 or 12:**
- **Code 11 (Voluntarily before Due Date):** Use this code if you are filing the return before the due date.
- **Code 12 (Voluntarily after Due Date):** Use this code if you are filing the return after the due date (belated return). For AY 2009-10, since the due date has passed, you would use this code if the department allows filing.

### Summary
- **AY 2008-09:** Generally not possible to file now as the period for belated returns has expired. Contact the IT Department for alternative solutions.
- **AY 2009-10:** Similarly, the period for filing a belated return has expired. Contact the IT Department for guidance.
- **Code to Use:** Use Code 12 for belated returns if the department allows filing beyond the due date.

For any further assistance or specific scenarios, it's best to consult with a tax professional or contact the Income Tax Department directly.
