Here's a clear explanation regarding revising a tax audit return for AY 2013-14:
🔍 Situation: Tax audit return for AY 2013-14 (Financial Year 2012-13) was filed excluding capital gains. Now you want to file a revised return for AY 2013-14. Concern about possibility and penalty implications. ✅ Key Points: Time limit to file a revised return u/s 139(5) is 1 year from the end of the relevant Assessment Year (AY). For AY 2013-14 (which corresponds to FY 2012-13), the relevant AY ends on 31 March 2014. So, the last date to file a revised return was 31 March 2015. Since now it is after 31 March 2015, you cannot file a revised return for AY 2013-14. ✅ Penalty and Tax Payable: If you filed the original return excluding capital gains, the income tax department may detect this during processing or assessment. If the department raises a demand, you may have to pay tax on the omitted capital gain, interest, and possibly penalty. If you want to correct the mistake now (after deadline), you may file a rectification application u/s 154 after receiving intimation, or Consider filing a penalty application or approach the department under the Vivad se Vishwas scheme or other settlement options if applicable. Summary Table: Aspect Detail AY 2013-14 end date 31 March 2014 Last date to revise return 31 March 2015 Can you revise now? No, time limit expired Penalty implication Possible if omission detected Alternative remedy Rectification after intimation, appeal, or settlement
