Allowance of amt of tax in belated return if disallowed in tax audit report because of non payment

In A.y. 20-21 Audit report we have disallowed Vat payable u/s 43b because of non payment of tax .Now we are filling belated income tax return. can we pay vat tax outstanding now and exclude the disallowance u/s 43b before filling of IT return to reduce tax liability?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether VAT tax disallowed in an audit report due to non-payment can be claimed if paid belatedly before filing an income tax return. While the due date for filing a belated return was extended, the payment for claiming a deduction under Section 43B must typically be made by the original due date. Paying the VAT now may mean the deduction can only be claimed in the subsequent assessment year, not the current one.

Yes pay the VAT return amount before 31.5.21 and file a belated return before that
Filing of belated return under sub-section (4) and revised return under sub-section (5) of Section 139 of the Income-tax Act,1961 for Assessment Year 2020-21, which was required to be filed on or before 31stMarch 2021, may be filed on or before 31stMay 2021.

but under the act you should pay on or before the due date of filing of return of income u/s 139(1).

that is they have extended due dates u/s 139(4),(5) not 139(1).

so if you pay tax now you can take deduction in this for this that is you can claim deduction in coming assessment year.
Ramaraju is right.
you cannot claim vat expense in belated return. you will have to disallow vat expense in belated return as well.
so think before you pay the dues.
