The new rules allow taxpayers to apply for a recomputation of their total income for a previous year, specifically excluding any claims for deduction of surcharge or cess that were previously allowed under section 40.
These rules, known as the Income-tax (32nd Amendment) Rules, 2022, come into force from the 1st day of October, 2022.
An application requesting recomputation of income must be made on or before the 31st day of March, 2023.
The application for recomputation of income must be made in Form No. 69.
Form No. 69 must be furnished electronically to the Principal Director General of Income-tax (Systems) or the Director General of Income-tax (Systems), or an authorised person.
After recomputing the total income, the Assessing Officer will issue a notice under section 156 specifying the time period for payment of any additional tax due. The assessee must then pay this tax and furnish details of the payment in Form No. 70 to the Assessing Officer within thirty days of making the payment.
