Quick Summary
If you paid self-assessment tax for AY 20-21 but couldn't file your Income Tax Return (ITR) for that year, you generally cannot directly claim that tax credit in your AY 21-22 ITR. However, you may be able to file a belated return for AY 2020-21 under section 119(2)(b) of the Income Tax Act, but this requires permission from the Income Tax Officer (ITO).

Any SA tax paid pertaining to AY 2020-21, cannot be claimed in AY 2021-22. If you have not filed return for AY 2020-21, and if you have any refund to be claimed; you can file return u/s. 119(2)(b) of the act, provided ITO gives you permission to that effect.

You contact AO for change of AY
