income tax

need some case law in favour of this. -

An assessee can revise the return of income even after assessment order has been passed under the Income Tax Act.

As a background, under the income tax law, there is is a specific time limit within which a return of income declaring the income can be revised by a person.


Quick Summary
This discussion explores the possibility of revising an income tax return even after an assessment order has been issued. While there are time limits for filing revised returns, with recent changes shortening the window to December 31st of the relevant assessment year, the user is seeking case law to support revising a return post-assessment. An alternative method suggested is to file an RTI application with the Income Tax department for clarification on the specific clauses governing this situation.

In Budget 2021, the government announced that it has reduced the time to file revised ITR by three months. Till FY 2019-20, an individual was allowed to file ITR till March 31 of the relevant assessment year. However, from FY 2020-21, the last date of filing revised ITR is December 31 of the relevant assessment year.

The simple way is to file an online RTI Application of Rs.10/- and get that information you want from the Income Tax dept itself.

Information solicited:

1. Please provide me the copy of the clause/excerpt/notification that states the time frame within which a return of income declaring the income can be revised by a person after the assessment order was passed under the IT Act.
