Guidelines on Filing Revised and Belated Income Tax Returns and Associated Fees
Taxpayers who discover errors in their filed income tax returns (ITR) can submit revised returns before the July 31 deadline without penalty. Revised returns filed after December 31 but before March 31 of the assessment year may incur a fee starting AY 2026-27 under Section 234I. Filing belated returns is allowed, but may delay refund processing. Certain losses like unabsorbed depreciation can still be carried forward despite late filing, though refunds require valid ITR submission and processing by the tax department.
