File your ITR before 31 Dec

Taxpayers who did not file their income tax return (ITR) for the fiscal year 2023-24 (Assessment Year 2024-25) still have the opportunity to do so. However, Section 234F of the Income Tax Act now imposes a late filing fine of Rs 5,000.

Who needs to submit a late return?

  • A delayed return under Section 139(4) of the Income Tax Act refers to any income tax return that was not filed before the stipulated deadline.
  • Late Fee on Income Under Rs 5 Lakh: The late payment penalty of Rs 1,000 will be decreased for those earning less than Rs 5 lakh per year.
  • Standard late fee: Rs 5,000 for taxpayers earning more than Rs 5 lakh per year.

What happens if you miss the December 31st deadline?

  • Failure to file your ITR before December 31 may lead to the following:
  • Increased penalty: Late costs can be hiked to Rs 10,000 for those earning more than Rs 5 lakh per year.
  • Legal repercussions: The Income Tax Department may issue notices.
  • Restricted benefits: You may lose the opportunity to carry forward some losses for future tax purposes.
