Rent from house property

Return could have been revised u/s 139(5) till 31.03.15. This situation demands revision of income and is not a mistake apparent from record and hence can not be rectified u/s 154

S.139(5)

If any person, having furnished a return under sub-section (1), or in pursuance of a notice issued under sub-section (1) of section 142, discovers any omission or any wrong statement therein, he may furnish a revised return at any time before the expiry of one year from the end of the relevant assessment year or before the completion of the assessment, whichever is earlier :

Now a days they do very fast assesment  .

But Reduction of Income is as per Law.  

Can I file revised return under 119 [2a] or 119 [2b]  

I was Ignorant of law regarding income from House property.

  Can Experts including  Z  throw some light on this.

You may try making an application u/s 119(2)(b) but however the admissibility of the claim is dependent of factum of the case. How will you prove the genuine hardship is upto you . 

For your reference am citing the circular which will help you

I see. Thanks Z sir for your inputs.

It appears that it is not wise to give application for condonation of delay for refund claims.

If it is done online it is Ok. Otherwise who will got to CIT/AO and break head there. 

Circular 9  does not mention  - fresh returns can be filed. It only mentions Refund claims and carry forward losses. 

Can Experts [including Z]  enlighten me on this.   

Any claim under the Income Tax Act can be made only through filing of return, that is why its written that provisions of section ...... 139.... will be relaxed.

If you notice the ITR utility, therein you can find colum for return filed u/s  , there you can see S. 119(2)(b)

1st you will have to go to CIT then he will direct it to AO and then the return shall be filed u/s 119(2)(b) 

That is why I did not recommended it for such sum , chances are very low (I do not see any genuine reason)* and umm it also depends upon charisma , you know like how assessee is able to influence the decision , [you know sometimes their hand get jam while signing so greasing of palms is required so that they can sign]

* For eg. for claiming deduction under chapter IV or VIA , relaxtion will apply

 subject to the following conditions, namely:—

 (i)  the default in complying with such requirement was due to circumstances beyond the control of the assessee; and

(ii)  the assessee has complied with such requirement before the completion of assessment in relation to the previous year in which such deduction is claimed 

Am extremely sorry , I misread your Assessment Year
YOU CAN FILE REVISE RETURN TILL 31.03.2016 SINCE YOUR A.Y IS 2014-15 and 1 year therefrom is 31.03.16

I got refund .

So as indicated by Z sir i have to file revised return.

will think it over . Thanks for help
