Missed the ITR Filing Deadline? Here's What You Need to Know!

 It’s easy to lose track of time, especially with the busy lives we lead. However, if you missed the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline, don’t panic. There’s still time to file a belated return, and here’s how you can avoid further penalties.

1. Belated Return Filing

If you missed the initial ITR filing deadline, the good news is that you can still file your belated return up until 31st December 2024. This extended window allows taxpayers to file their returns and ensure they stay compliant with tax regulations.

2. Penalties Under Section 234F

Filing a belated return does come with a penalty. Here’s how it works:

  • For individuals with an income of up to ₹5 lakh, the late filing fee is ₹1,000.
  • For individuals with an income of more than ₹5 lakh, the fee is ₹5,000, irrespective of the tax regime you have opted for.

3. Interest on Tax Payable

If you have tax liabilities, missing the original deadline means you’ll also have to bear 1% interest per month on the outstanding amount until the tax is paid. This makes it important to file your return as soon as possible.

4. Consequences of Late Filing

Filing your return late can have additional impacts beyond penalties:

  • Loss of Carry Forward of Losses: If you have business or capital losses, you won’t be able to carry them forward to offset future gains if the return is not filed by the due date.
  • Delayed Refunds: The longer you delay filing, the longer it will take to receive any refunds you’re entitled to. Additionally, you may receive a lower interest on your refund if you file late.

5. Don’t Miss the Next Deadline!

To avoid these penalties and extra interest charges, it’s crucial to file your belated return before 31st December 2024. If you miss even this deadline, you’ll have to deal with more severe repercussions.
