I am facing an Issue while filing ITR2 form AY2021-22 online on 1st Aug 2021 (today). A penalty of 5000/- INR for late filing (section 234F) is being levied, although the deadline for AY2021-22 is extended to 30th Sep 2021. Is anyone else facing this issue and is it this a bug in the software?

Regards

Quick Summary

Users encountered an issue filing ITR2 for AY2021-22 on August 1st, where the system incorrectly levied a £5000 penalty under Section 234F, despite an extended deadline. This problem was widespread, with users reporting the issue persisting even with updated software versions. Fortunately, the penalty was later removed, allowing for successful filing, and a newer utility version was recommended for those still facing problems.

I am also facing the same problem. Last few weeks the portal wasn't working and while submission I was getting a schema error. Now from 1st August system adds Rs. 5000 as penalty for delayed filing. Seems system is not considering the 2 month extension declared. Raised a query to support awaiting the response.

The issue got fixed today. The system has removed the penalty for delayed filing and I could complete my return filings. Thanks to all who responded to my query above.
