Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the situation of an accountant who underwent a survey under Section 133A of the Income Tax Act, resulting in the discovery of undisclosed income. The core question revolves around how the assessee can mitigate penalties and financial impact. It clarifies that filing an updated return to declare the undisclosed income from the survey year or prior years is not permissible. However, updated returns might be an option for other, unrelated undisclosed income from different assessment years.

Better to file updated return for last four years before assessmet proceedigs start.

If we file updated return whether they will consider that return because of the attached clause sir???

 

 

If a survey under section 133A has taken place against the assessee and undisclosed income is discovered, filing an updated return for that year or any earlier year is not allowed.

It only for any other undisclosed income (for amother year/s) which may have been missed.

So, we cannot make tue updated return (with the undisclosed income)  for the previous assessment years of the survey?

Correct.                                

Thank you Sir that answers my question

You are welcome.
