Guidance on ITR Filing Deadlines, Foreign Asset Disclosure, and Return Corrections
Taxpayers missing the FY 2024-25 ITR filing deadline can still claim refunds by filing belated returns with applicable late fees. Those holding foreign assets must disclose them accurately by July 31, 2026, to comply with tax laws and avoid penalties. The Income Tax Department is scrutinizing cases where taxpayers revise returns to swap deductions improperly, which is not allowed. Additionally, filing ITR with incorrect forms can be rectified within prescribed timelines to prevent processing delays or notices.
