This discussion clarifies the conditions for opting into the Section 115BAC new tax regime. It explains that if Form 10IE is required, it must be filed before the due date for the return. However, if Form 10IE is not needed, the new regime cannot be chosen if the tax return is filed belatedly.

Dear sir - Is it covered by Law that option to take benefit of section 115BAC can be exercised only if the Return is filed before due date? Pls exlain the situation where option is exercised by submitting Form 10IE before due date and subsequently Return is submitted belatedly - Thank you sir

dear sir Thank very much for the answer given . I feel you have left the first part of the query ie where is it mentioned that this option cannot be exercised after due date of return u/s 139(1) . It is not seen in that section 115BAC .
