Sir,

My sister was working till the A.Y 2010-11 and her income tax return was being filed properly. But in A.Y 2011-12 she left her job for higher studies and there was no income for the year, as a result of which Nil return was not filed for the same. Now for A.Y 2012-13 again her income has become taxable due to the salary of her new job.

I would like to know whether her income tax return for A.Y 2012-13 can be e-filed without filing the Nil return for A.Y 2011-12. Whether penalty will be attracted or not.

no need to file nil return so even if she has not filed return for earlier year you can still file the return for ay12-13. no penalty.

people generaly file nil return by showing income though there is no income as to that extent they can show black money into white. lol :)

Dear Khushbooji

IT department has specified the criteria about the persons who r require to file their returns ....... If any person is in receipt of income which is more than the max. amt not chargeble to Income tax , in your sister's case it is Rs.1.9 lakhs. If this is the case then it is not mandatory to file return but if you have crossed this threshold limit before claiming deduction under sec. 80 (all sub clauses ) then you can file belated return.
