Key things to know about filing a belated return
The Income Tax (I-T) department, also allows taxpayers to file belated returns. "Any person who has not furnished a return of income within the time period allowed under section 139(1) of Income Tax Act can furnish return for any previous year - at any time before the end of the relevant assessment year or before completion of the assessment, whichever is earlier," said the I-T department.Â
