Folks I need to file my taxes for AY 2013-14 and was unable to do so until now due to unavoidable circumstances.

In my case I owe 17K in taxes including penalty and interest.

I am aware that eFiling for an assessment year more than 2 years old after its due date is not possible. Therefore I printed out the document ITR-1 Sahaj Individual tax return and filled it with all my income and tax details. But when I went to the local income tax office directly to file my document, they said that they cannot accept my filing as it it is more than 2 years old and income exceeds the late filing limit for AY 2013-14 (5 Lakhs).

I am informed that when I receive an IT notice asking me to pay for 2013-14 I should respond and do nothing until then. But I fear that my interest and penalty is likely to go up as I wait for the IT notice - whose date is not known.

What is the best recourse to pay the tax due and avoid additional penalties ? Can I file challan 280 even if IT dept does not accept my IT filing ? Does seeking condonement from IT Commissioner work ?

Please advise.

You can contact your jurisdiction AO with an application for condonation for delay. It should be addressed to CIT. Depending on the merits of hardship CIT will give permission to file return. In the mean while you should pay self assesment tax till date as worked out by Return utitlity of that year which includes interest as per 234A , B and C.

Shiroor - Thank you for your reply.

Can you tell me how I can pay the self assessment tax till date? Using an online tax software I know my tax due, penalty and interest.

Is there an online mechanism to pay my tax due even if I AM UNABLE to file my paperwork - as in this case IT Dept is not accepting ? Is there some challan like 280 that I must fill out online / manual ?

I don't have any idea about how to go about this. Can you advise ?

Thank you !

you can pay for Tax on Regular assessment (400) if yu have got a notice. The challan 280 online can be used here https://onlineservices.tin.egov-nsdl.com/etaxnew/tdsnontds.jsp . You can download the online excel utility from https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/ here you will get interest details after filling the form. For now you can deposit the tax and eply to the notice. If no notice, you can pay tax under self assessment tax (300).

Sudeep and navin Kumar. you have to take permission from CIT under circular No 9/2015 dated 9/06/2015 . You have to give reasons for delay. if reasons are strong and can be condoned you may get permission.
