Dear Sivasiva,

Procedure for filing of belated return is same as filing of normal return U/s 139(1). But remember the time limit of filing is 2 years from the end of previous year for which return is filed .

Regards

same as original return but you have to mention previous return details in the same i.e. date of filing original return and acknowledgement no.

and the same to be filed u/s. 139(5)

Sincere Thanks Members,

However, what if the same for FY 08-09. where the period expires on 31-03-2011. Do i claim Tax refund in any other way by submitting letter to IT DEPARTMENT.

I did not file returns for FY 2010-11, and I was in a previous company during that time. Now while filing returns for 2011-12, when I am in a different company, would I have to fill up two separate forms or it can be done in one single form?

Interestingly, in several online eReturn filing website, I have seen them taking 2011-12 as the default FY. So how to go about resolving this issue on belated return?

Thanks in advance.
