I missed the due dates to file ITR. It was my first year in job. Now the Account section is asking me to submit details of ITR. But I cannot file it seems.

My total income is coming lesss than 7 lakh including the business receipts under 194J( Got stipend earlier)

As the TDS deducted on the stipend I got earlier in college

So even with 5000 penulty it seems a case of refund(TDS - Penulty) ( however I cannot claim it)

How can I file updated return in this case? Please suggest

You cannot file an ITR-U to claim a refund or file a "Nil" return. Your best bet to get the acknowledgment your office wants (and get your money back) is to file a Condonation of Delay request on the portal. If approved, you can file the return normally. Otherwise, you may have to explain the legal restriction on ITR-U to your accounts team using your AIS/Form 26AS as supporting proof.
