Late filing ITR for FY2020-2021(AY 2021-2022) possible now or is it too late?

This discussion explores the possibility of filing a late Income Tax Return (ITR) for the Financial Year 2020-2021 (Assessment Year 2021-2022). The original poster missed the deadline due to health reasons and is seeking a refund. While filing through ITR-U might be an option, it's not typically allowed for refund cases. The consensus suggests a manual application to the CIT under section 119(2)(b) may be necessary to seek approval for filing a late return, especially when a refund is due.
