Respected Tax Experts,
How to file ITR by March 2026, if I not able to file belated returns by December 2025 for AY 25-26
Hi @deepan_kumar ,
You would be required to furnish an Updated Return in that case which would involve payment of additional tax of 25% in addition to normal tax, interest, late fees, etc.
Thanks,
Pulkit
Thank you very much sir for your expert advice.
so my understanding is, ican file updated ITR , 3 months after missed deadline of belated returns date dec 31,without major legal actions or major issues except for 25% penalty and additional fees by online itself
Yes, in general circumstances it should be the case, however, you might receive certain SMS/emails from department asking you to file the ITR by 31st December 2025 and avoid additional tax payment.
Thank you very much sir for clear and easily understandable expert advice. Gives me peace of mindโ:folded_hands:![]()
