Missed the ITR Deadline for FY 2023-24 or Made a Mistake in
Your Filing? Here’s What You Need to Know!
Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) on time is crucial, but
sometimes, life gets in the way, and deadlines are missed. If you’ve missed the
ITR deadline for FY 2023-24 or realized there’s an error in your filed return,
don’t panic—you still have options. In this blog, we’ll guide you through
filing a belated return or revised return before the final due
date of December 31, 2024, and highlight why this step is essential for
maintaining compliance and avoiding penalties.
Understanding Belated and Revised Returns
What is a Belated Return?
A belated return is filed after the original due date (July
31, 2024) but before the final deadline, December 31, 2024. Filing a belated
return ensures that you comply with tax regulations, even if it’s late.
What is a Revised Return?
If you’ve already filed your ITR but made an error—such as
missing income, wrong deductions, or incorrect details—you can file a revised
return to correct these mistakes.
Both options are available for the Assessment Year 2024-25,
provided you act before December 31, 2024.
Why Filing Your Belated or Revised ITR is Crucial

Penalties and Interest

filing attracts penalties under Section 234F, which can go up to ₹5,000.

on unpaid taxes under Sections 234A, 234B, and 234C can increase your
financial burden.
- Ensure
Compliance

your return ensures compliance with tax laws and avoids scrutiny by the
Income Tax Department.

filing helps maintain eligibility for loans, visas, and other financial
