Note on months of delay calculation : As per Income Tax Act, Updated return can be filed upto 24 months from the end of relevant assessment year. Even though the belated due date expired on 31st Dec 2023 for AY 2023-24, the taxpayers have 24 months time from 31st March 2024. As per this interpretation, number of months of delay is calculated from March 2024
Note 2 : Generally post March every year, one can file 3 years updated returns .
