If you've opted for the Section 115BAC tax regime but your return was filed late, your choice may be rejected. This means your tax will be calculated under the old scheme, potentially leading to a tax payable. To successfully switch, Form 10-IE must be filed by the ITR deadline, not with a belated return.

To switch tax regimes taxpayers must file Form 10-IE within the ITR filing deadline. The option to switch to the alternative tax regime is not possible when filing a belated ITR
