Income Tax Return 2024: Deadlines For Your ITR Filing

New Delhi, June 12: As the financial year comes to a close, it's time to turn our attention to one of the most critical tasks for taxpayers: filing the Income Tax Return (ITR). The Income Tax Return Filing 2024 season has started, and meeting the deadlines is crucial to avoid penalties and ensure compliance.

There are certain ITR filing deadlines for FY 23-24 you must know about to stay on track and never miss an ITR filing deadline.

Why Filing Your ITR on Time Matters?

Filing your ITR on time is more than just a legal requirement; it's a reflection of your financial discipline. Timely filing helps you avoid late fees, allows you to carry forward losses, and can speed up the processing of refunds. The deadline for ITR filing for individuals is July 31, 2024. Missing this date can result in penalties up to INR 10,000 and interest on any tax due.

Note: Filing ITR after the due date attracts interest under section 234A and penalty under section 234F.

Note: ITR filing after 31st July is allowed but subject to penalties and interest.

Common ITR Filing Challenges

Despite the importance of timely ITR filing, it is also true that ITR filing can be a daunting process, especially for those who are new to it. Here are some common challenges you might face while filing ITR online -

*     Understanding Tax Laws: Tax laws are constantly changing, and staying updated can be overwhelming.

*     Document Management: Gathering all necessary documents, such as Form 16, investment proofs, and other income records, can be tedious.

*     Accuracy: Ensuring that all details are accurate and compliant with the tax regulations is critical to avoid notices from the tax department. Taking help from tax experts can help ensure greater accuracy.

*     Time-Consuming: The entire process can be time-consuming, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the e-filing portal.

What Happens if You Miss the ITR Filing Due Date?

-     Interest - If you fail to file your ITR by the due date, you will have to pay interest @1% under section 234A.

-     Late Fee - A late fee of Rs 1,000 is applicable on income below Rs 5 lakhs and Rs 5,000 on income above Rs 5 lakhs.

-     Carry Forward of Losses - Any losses incurred from sources like mutual funds, properties, and stock markets can be carried forward and offset against your income. If you fail to file your ITR by the last date, you are not allowed to claim this benefit.

-     Belated Return - If you miss the ITR filing due date, you can still file a belated return till 31st December. However, this comes with a late fee in the form of interest and penalty.
