Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for filing an updated Income Tax Return (ITR-U). Generally, you can file an ITR-U if you've previously filed an original, belated, or revised return and need to correct an omission or wrong statement, provided it doesn't decrease your tax liability or increase your refund. Importantly, even if you haven't filed a return before, you may still be able to file an updated return under certain conditions.
*Eligibility for Filing Form ITR-U:* Persons eligible to update returns for FY 2019-20 and subsequent assessment years as per newly inserted section 139 8(A) of the act, are: any person, who has furnished his original return of income, or furnished belated return, or furnished revised return can now furnish an updated return in case of any omission or wrong statement in his earlier return of income by such person.
*In case a person has not furnished his return of income even then such person can furnish an updated return via Form ITR-U*. A assessee would be able to file only one updated return for each assessment year.
