Rreturn can be filed even after 31st July without any repercussion ?

You can file return after 31st July if

All taxes have been paid by you as advance tax or deducted at source by 31st March.
You do not have any loss to carry forward. In case of late return , you will not be allowed to carry forward the loss.
You do not want to revise the return.

In all these cases, you can file return upto 31st March .

For example, if you are a salaried person and all tax has been deducted at source and no tax is outstanding as on 31st March 2009 for income (salary and other income ) earned during FY 2008-09 i.e Asst. Yr 2009-10 who are supposed to file return by 31/7/2009 , can file return upto 31/3/2010 without any interest or penalty. And , if they take risk of paying penalty of Rs 5000 for late filing , they can file return upto 31/3/2011!

Sir,

I am salaried professional. I have more than 30k refund in my Form 16. I filed return this week, on 14th Oct 2009. I am getting confilcting information on internet that if someone files after 31st July 2009, they will loose the right of a refund from Income tax department. Is it true.

Please clarify. Thanks so much for your help.

It is common perception if the return is not filed within due date , the Assessing Officer will impose penalty or interest or do scrutiny. Therefore many people who can file return even after 31st July i.e due date , without any repercussion , rush to file return by 31st July. ...........................
