Condonation request for ITR filing

Hi
I have forgotten to file my return for the last AY 2020-21. Can I give a condonation request to the department??? If the concerned authorities accept my reason for delay, can I file my itr for the previous year??
Can I give the Condonation request for the last 3 years??
Someone please enlighten me in the issue

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to file an Income Tax Return (ITR) for past assessment years when the filing deadline has been missed. It explains the process of submitting a condonation request to the tax department under Section 119(2)(b) of the Income Tax Act. While condonation is generally possible for refund claims, filing for previous years solely for loan purposes without a refund or loss claim may not be permitted. The thread also provides guidance on navigating the online service request portal for filing these requests.

You can apply for condonation of delay in filing return u/s. 119(2)(b), even for last 3 years; provided you have any refund claim in each....

No, I don't have any refund claim but i want to file return for the last 3 years for loan purpose. Is it possible??

No. Not eligible without any refund or loss claim/s.

When I click on th the following link,,,( mentioned in Dhirajlal Rambhia's post)

 https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/help/how-to-raise-e-filing-service-requests

I see that there are two options 

1. Condonation request  for delay in filing ITR V 

2. Condonation request for filing time-barred returns

However in my clients case, after log in ..only the first option is seen ... So what does he have to do?

Will he need to go personally to concerned CIT of his jurisdiction and file the Condonation request in writing ?

If so what is the format of application , and where is the concrened Office of CIT in Bangalore at which the Condonation request is to be filed?

Is there any other way to file the Condonation request for No. 2. (  filing time-barred returns ) above > through online mode?

PLEASE REPLY EARLY.

 

MAY BE FOR YOUR CLIENT THE CONDITIONS MENTIONED IN SEC. 119(2)(B) OF it ACT NOT APPLICABLE...
