Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether individuals with nil tax liability can file an Updated Return (ITR-U). It explains that while a nil tax return isn't directly permitted, filing is possible for incomes up to ₹4.99 lakhs by utilising the rebate under Section 87A. The conversation also addresses potential late fees under Section 234F for incomes exceeding ₹2.5 lakhs but below ₹5 lakhs.

No Nil return not permitted

Tax is nil if the income is below 5lacs by availing rebate. So ITR can be filed upto 4.99lacs income with nil tax
Whether penalty will be imposed if income is above 2.5 lacs but below 5 lakh?
Section 234F is applicable .1000/- will be the late fees
Who said tax is NIL below 5 lacs , it's for sr. citizen. For ordinary citizen it depends.
Income Act has said me while reading section 87A
