Non filing of ITR for FY 19-20 (AY20-21)

thanks friends for your reply.  Is there any request letter format for the same? if so please give me the sample

Please state for what reason you wish to file return ? Because it is permitted for few specified reasons only.

I know the reasons.

Since the finalization work was getting delayed in preparing the P&L BS etc., reaching 11.45 pm. After that we cannot submit our return online. 

i think this is not a valid reason

Dear friends,

I drafted letter as follows.  Please inform me the same is enough & is there any grammatical mistakes if any may please be corrected.

To

The Principal Commissioner of Income Tax

Through

The Income Tax Officer

Ward  ______________

Respected Sir,

Sub:      IT Return – Assessment Year 2020-21 – Condonation of delay – request for belated filing – reg.

            Ref:      PAN No. _____________

We are the Income Tax Assessee in the rolls of the Assessing Officer, Ward ____________, and we have already filed our Income Tax returns without delay for the Assessment Year up to 2019-20.

We could not file the returns of income for the Assessment year 2020-21 because of the Accounts staff who resigned this office in May 2020 (after Covid-19 lockdown period), and the new staff was recruited after the lock down caused delay in completing the book of entries and filing GST Returns etc. The auditing of accounts was also getting delayed because of poor attendance of staff & irregular function of both of our office and auditor offices due to the announcement as a Containment Zone at staff residential, our office & Auditor office areas on various occasions due to the wave of Corona virus.

In the meantime, the sudden demise of my father and I am in force to complete the religious rituals related to the same during March – 2021 caused delay in finalization of the accounts with our Auditors and during the 30^th & 31^st of March 2021 the Income Tax portal was not functioning properly and we could not upload our return of income.

We have computed the total taxable income at Rs. …………….. and the tax refund thereon after deducting the TDS is Rs. ………….

We, therefore, request your good selves that the delay may be condoned and an order may be issued so as to file the return of Income and to seek the refund thereon.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

You do not hv to send it can be done online.

It's very easy.
