Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a taxpayer can claim a refund even if they filed their Income Tax Return (ITR) belatedly. The consensus is that a refund is indeed claimable under Section 244A of the Income-tax Act, 1961, even for a belated return. While no specific documents are required beyond filing the ITR itself, it's important to note that interest on the refund amount may be forfeited due to the delay.

The taxpayer can file belated return and claim refund for 19 -20.
Thank u so much sir... can you please explain what all the documents needed for claiming the refund
Nothing required... only requirement is to file ITR... on processing, refund will be issued
Ok sir thank you so much
A refund is claimed when excess tax paid on your income during the year as per Section 244A of the Income-tax Act, 1961. However, in case of belated returns, you may lose the interest that would be due on the refund amount. In any case it is claimable. I hope this helps.
Exactly it helped me sir thank you so much
