How late filing fee is assessed for AY 2023-24

Stricter Compliance norms from Income Tax Department starting from AY 2018-19

The Finance ministry during FY 2017-18 Budget introduced a new Section 234F to levy penalty for late filers OR non-filers of Income Tax Returns. As we are in a low tax compliance society, it's very important to understand income brackets, timing, penalty amounts and how to avoid such situation.

1. Up to 31st Jul 2023

2. On or after 01st Aug 2023

Belated return income tax filing are possible for up to 31st Dec 2023.

If your total income does not exceed Rs. 5,00,000/- Then maximum penalty applicable will be Rs.1000/- irrespective of dates.

 Things to consider

Late filing attracts interest, penalty, in addition, carry forward losses are not allowed after the due date. Carry forward losses from short-term, long-term, speculative business, and other losses except the loss from house property up to Rs. 2 Lakh.
