Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether an NRI client can file income tax returns (ITR) for the past two years to claim a refund. While filing for the most recent year is straightforward, claiming refunds for older years may require a condonation petition under Section 119(2)(b) before the jurisdictional CIT. The updated ITR (Section 139(8A)) is generally not for refund purposes and involves additional taxes. However, some methods for claiming refunds without a formal condonation request are also mentioned, along with a step-by-step guide for reissuing refunds via the e-filing portal.
