can deductions under chapter VI be claimed by individual in case of belated filing

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether deductions under Chapter VI-A can be claimed when filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) late. Initially, there was confusion, with some believing no deductions were possible. However, the consensus is that while certain specific deductions (like 80-IC, 80-ID, 80-IE, 10A, etc.) are disallowed, common deductions such as Section 80C can still be claimed even with a belated return. Filing late does incur penalties, interest, and potential loss of carry-forward benefits for certain losses, but it's generally better than non-compliance.

No, under belated returns no deductions can be claimed
Is it applicable for individuals also...? or only for companies...
For all belated returns irrespective of individuals or companies
So u mean to say 80 C deduction cannot be claimed
Yes if it is a belated return
Any other opinion...??? from others...??
No option if it is a belated return then deduction is not possible, for which AY you're asking about??
AY 2023-24
Sorry, there was a mistake actually 80c can be claimed under belated returns also... Actually there was a misunderstanding there.. you can claim deduction 80C but certain deductions are not allowed which are 80IC, ID, IE, 10A etc...
Any other opinion...??? from others...??

Chapter VI-A deductions can be avail if belated ITR... No issues...
Pls post details
Pls read above
Fig for chapter v1

The following are the disadvantages of filing a belated return:

  • Interest may be applicable under sections 234A, 234B and 234C.
  • A late fee will be levied under Section 234F while filing a belated return: 
    • Gross total income is up to Rs 2.5 lakh: No Penalty
    • Gross total income is Rs 2.5 lakh – Rs 5 lakh: Rs 1,000 fee
    • Gross Total income more than Rs 5 lakh: Rs 5,000 fee
  • If you file a loss return after the due date, many losses, like business and capital losses, cannot be carried forward for set off in the subsequent years. However, an exception is available for losses from house property that can be carried forward even if you file your returns late.
  • Deductions/ Exemptions Disallowed: Deductions/ exemptions u/s 10A, 10B, 80-IA, 80-IB, 80-IC, 80-ID and 80-IE shall not be available if you delay ITR filing. These tax-saving benefits are allowed only if the ITR is filed before the original deadline.
