Quick Summary
It is possible to file a missing Income Tax Return (ITR) for past years, specifically for FY 2019-2020, by submitting an updated return under Section 139(8A) of the Income Tax Act. However, this process is subject to certain conditions and late fees under Section 234F. Importantly, an updated return cannot be filed if the intention is solely to claim a refund, although a late fee may still apply even if the final outcome is a refund.

Yes, it can be filed under sec. 139(8) of IT act, by Updated return, provided you have any tax liability.

@ Rajan Dubey ,

Filing can be done u/s 139(8A) by paying late fees u/s 234F
It not so easy. Sec governs it . But procedures are seperate.
Yes you can
@ Sabyasachi,

What procedures & why is not easy ?

You can file an updated return ITR U for the FY 2019-20. 

The return cannot be filed for refund. 

 

Every Updated return has late fee u/s 234F though the final outcome is refund
Return can be filed but refund is not available.
