Got Questions? We Have Answers

Everything you need to know about belated income-tax return filing.

01
Who can file a belated income-tax return?
An eligible taxpayer who missed the original return-filing deadline may file a belated return within the period prescribed for the relevant assessment year.
02
What is the deadline for filing a belated return for AY 2026–27?
The return may be filed up to 31 December 2026 or before completion of assessment, whichever is earlier.
03
Is there a penalty for filing an income-tax return late?
A late-filing fee may apply. For AY 2026–27, it is ₹1,000 where total income does not exceed ₹5 lakh and ₹5,000 in other cases. Applicable interest may also be payable.
04
Can I claim a refund through a belated return?
Yes. An eligible refund may be claimed if available tax credits or payments exceed the final tax liability, subject to the applicable filing and processing conditions.
05
What happens after the belated-return deadline expires?
A regular belated return cannot be filed after the permitted period. Depending on eligibility, an updated return may be considered. The current framework permits ITR-U for certain earlier years but applies restrictions and additional tax.
