REMEDIES FOR BELATED FILING OF IT RETURNS FOR AY 2019-20

Our client filed the IT Return for AY 19-20 at 12.10AM on the last date and as a result, it is treated as belated return. The ITO has issued notice disallowing the carry forward of losses because of the delay. Our representation for condoning the delay due to technical glitches was not agreed to by ITO. Is there a remedy for this? Case Laws in this regard would be useful if shared. Thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the issue of a belatedly filed Income Tax return for AY 2019-20, where the Income Tax Officer (ITO) disallowed the carry forward of losses due to a minor delay. The initial representation for condoning the delay due to technical glitches was rejected. A suggested remedy involves approaching the jurisdictional CIT with a formal request to condone the delay, supported by evidence like the ITO's notice. The advice is to submit this application physically, as no online facility is currently available.

You approach to jurisdictional CIT with a request for such technical delay of 10 minutes and request to condone it .

I hope you will surely get it. Attach copy of AO notice also.

Thank you,Pravin. Should this be electronically applied or manual submission? I don't find a link for electronic submission.

Submit Application physically only. No online facility. Do not delay Application.
