IT Return if no taxable income

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If your income falls below the taxable threshold for the 2021-22 financial year, you generally don't need to file an Income Tax Return. This also applies if your business, which operated from 2019-20 to 2020-21, had no sales or purchases and its GST registration was cancelled in 2021-22. However, you may still be required to file if you incurred significant expenditure on electricity, foreign travel, or club memberships, even with no taxable income. It's advisable to review the specific provisos of Section 139(1)(b) or seek professional advice to be certain.

25 July 2022 In terms of s.139(1)(b) if your (as an Individual) total income does not exceed the maximum amount that is not chargeable to income tax, you are not required to file the return. However, in terms of the proviso to said section, one will be required to file the return if he , during the previous year incurs an expenditure of 50000 or more towards electricity, spend any money for traveling to foreign country or are a member of club where entrance fee charged is more than twenty five thousand. Above are the broader terms when one will be required to furnish return despite not having income of more than the minimum taxable income. Before deciding whether to file a return or not, one should have a look at all the provisos to s.139(1)(b) and/ or seek professional advice.
