Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to file an Income Tax Return (ITR) for AY 2023-24 after the 31st December 2023 deadline. The primary method discussed is applying for condonation of delay under Section 119(2)(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This process requires submitting a request with bonafide reasons, and the authority handling the request depends on the refund amount, ranging from the Commissioner of Income Tax to the CBDT.

Dear Vikas ji

Need to apply for condonation for delayed filing under 119.2.b. with bonafide reasons.

once approved, only then you will be able to file ITR.

Pls stay patient and consult a good tax practitioner as this will involve approval from higher authorities.

If not done properly, you may lose your refund claim.

When taxpayers miss the prescribed deadlines, it can have significant consequences. Filing tax returns after the due date can carry substantial implications, such as the potential forfeiture of refund claims and the inability to carry forward losses from a particular year. This underscores the paramount importance of adhering to the tax deadlines specified in Section 139 of the Income Tax Act.

Section 119(2)(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, provides vital remedies for taxpayers facing genuine hardships that hinder them from meeting tax-related deadlines. These remedies, regulated by this provision, play a crucial role in the Indian tax system.

Monetary Limits: 

Circular No. 09/2015 establishes monetary thresholds to determine which income tax authorities are empowered to handle condonation of delay applications. The limits are as follows:

  • For claims not exceeding Rs. 10 lakhs, the authority responsible is the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax or the Commissioner of Income Tax.
  • Claims exceeding Rs. 10 lakhs but less than Rs. 50 lakhs are dealt with by the Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax or the Chief Commissioner of Income Tax.
  • Claims exceeding Rs. 50 lakhs fall under the purview of the CBDT.

Please go through this. Get more clarity with Tax Consultant or Chartered Accountant. Then, proced further.

Section 119(2)(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, plays a critical role in India’s tax framework.
