10 October 2011 U just need to file a Revised Return of audited statements as the last date to file the IT return is generally 31st march of the next year. so u can file the Revised Return as a replacement of original return filed till 31.03.2012.

02 August 2025 Here’s a quick summary and advice for your situation about filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) as unaudited instead of audited:

---

### Issue:

* **ITR filed as unaudited** mistakenly.
* Due date shown as July (for unaudited) instead of September (for audited).
* Concern about the correct deadline and how to fix the error.

---

### What to do:

1. **Revised Return Filing:**

* You can file a **Revised Return** under Section 139(5) of the Income Tax Act.
* The last date to file a revised return is **generally 31st March of the assessment year** (for example, for FY 2010-11, it’s 31 March 2012).
* In this revised return, you can submit the correct **audited financial statements** and correct the details.

2. **Due Date Confusion:**

* The due date for filing a return with audited accounts is **30th September**.
* If you filed before 30th September but as unaudited, you can still revise the return before 31st March next year to reflect audited status.
* The Income Tax Department allows the revised return to replace the original return.

3. **Action Steps:**

* Prepare the audited financial statements.
* File the revised ITR with audited details before 31st March of the assessment year.
* Make sure the revised return clearly states it is revised and attaches audited accounts.

---

### Important:

* Filing revised return is the correct and legal way to fix mistakes like this.
* Ensure to keep proof of filing and audited documents handy.
