It is possible to file your Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY 19-20, even after the deadline, by applying for a condonation of delay under section 119(2)(b). This requires approval from the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT). While legally the return can only be filed after approval, some individuals have reportedly managed to file even without prior explicit permission. If you missed the deadline due to personal reasons, you will need to pay a late fee and obtain the necessary condonation approval before filing.
Legally it can be filed only after the application for condonation of delay is approved by CIT. But of late, a few people (as reported in CCI portal itself) were able to file ITR even in April 2021.
(you may just give it a try if you want to but not sure whether even this would go thru)
For SALARIED person, who had not filed his ITR due to his personal problems, now asking Rs. 10000/- late fess from 1st of April, kindly suggest me wat to do???
You Need to pay the Late Fees, as it is Mandatory. Before Filing You First take The permission from Principal CIT u/s 119(2)(b). otherwise it will not accept the return
