Quick Summary
This discussion explores the eligibility of a taxpayer to file an Updated Income Tax Return (ITR-U) for FY 2021-22, even if they haven't filed before and their gross income is below Rs. 2.5 lakh. While ITR-U is generally for non-filers of up to two previous years, there are restrictions, particularly for nil or below taxable income returns. Suggestions include increasing declared income slightly to meet thresholds or exploring other avenues like contacting the AO.

Itr u is for non filing for two previous years.
But, I think there will be some restrictions as per IT for whose gross annual income is less than 2.5 lakh can not proceed with this form.

The time limit for filing ITR-U is 24 months from the end of the relevant assessment year. The Return of FY 22-23 (AY 2023-24) can be updated till 31st March 2026.

if your income is above thrush hold limit then only you can file form u 

taxable income with 25% extra tax should be paid.

in the above circumstances you are not able to file a nil income return or below taxable income return 

Lookout for any other income like interest, dividend etc and show the income around 2.7Lacs to 3Lacs.

You may proceed for ITR U with 1000/-.

Else contact AO to issue notice under 148, 147
