What if you missed filing the return within the due date?
If the due date for filing the original return of income is missed, one can file a return later after the due date, called a belated return. The income tax department also specifies the due date of filing the belated return. This date is now reduced by three months to 31st December of the assessment year (unless extended by the government).
However, a penalty of Rs 5,000 will be charged for the delay in filing of return. But if the total income of the person is less than Rs 5 Lakh, then the fee payable is up to Rs 1,000.
