One of my client has not filed ITR for AY 2018-2019. Last return filed was AY 2017-2018. Since the time period is lapsed, can the ITR of AY 2018-2019 be filed now by an alternative method? or Directly ITR of AY 2019-2020 should be filed?
Why to wait for condonation, when you are allowed to file ITR for AY 2019-20 directly?
Condonation request may be filed for AY 2018-19, only if any refund is due for that particular year. Usually it takes 2 to 3 months, and gets rejected if no proper reason found for not filing return in specified time.
