Late Fees u/s. 234F for Revised Return

Tax queries 335 views 8 replies

Dear Members, 

My Client has filed his original IT return on 13/08/2020 before due date i.e.10/01/2021 for AY 2020-21 with a refund claim and due to some changes, a revised return was filed on 28/05/2021 after due date. It has come to our notice that the penalty u/s.234F of Rs.10000/- is adjusted towards the refund claimed and the date considered is revised return date. 

In my opinion, the late fees is calculated considering the date of filling of original return. 

My points to be discussed :

1. The Above adjusted amount of Rs.10000/- towards penalty is correct or not.

2. Should I file a grievance in respect of above and claim Rs.10000/- for refund.

3. Process to claim the refund 

Awaited for members suggestions

 

Thank You

Under the revised provisions of section 234F, you have to revise your return until the end of relevant assessment year. since you revised your return after 31-03-2021 that's why penalty u/s 234F is leviable. So the above penalty is correct.
Agree with above comment
Thanks a lot

Ok...
Hmm......
Sec 234F only speaks for late fees where the return is not filed within the time limit u/s 139(1). The Government's Press release dated 30th April 2021 extended the timeline for filing of belated and revised return for AY 2020-21 to 31st May 2021. So there is no question of late fees in your case of revised return.

Definitely need to file rectification to reprocess the return to get the late fees nullified. Also, subsequent grievance if the problem still persists.
