Frequently asked questions
What is the penalty for late ITR filing?
Under Section 234F, the penalty for late ITR filing (after July 31) is: ₹1,000 if your total income does not exceed ₹5 lakh; ₹5,000 if your total income exceeds ₹5 lakh. The penalty is the same whether you file on August 1 or December 31. Additionally, if there is outstanding tax payable, interest under Section 234A applies at 1% per month.
Can I file ITR after December 31?
No. The deadline for belated/revised returns is December 31 of the assessment year. After that, you cannot file a return voluntarily. To file after December 31, you must submit a condonation of delay petition to the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (PCIT) under Section 119(2)(b). If approved, you can then file the return.
