How does it affect you if you miss to file the income tax returns by the deadline?

by Holistic 1 Comment | Filed Under: Tax Returns

The tax payers, auditors and tax masters go extremely busy filing taxes and working on refunds in July. 31st July is the cut off for filing your returns which is set by the central board of direct taxes. Not only tax filing process has become easier to do it online and also the filing has become mandatory on or before July 31st. This year, we have got the time extended up to Aug 5th.

Do I need to file my returns?
What are the criteria to file the returns?
Is it mandatory for all the taxpayers to file the returns in the same assessment year?
What happens if I miss to file the returns on or before July 31st?

If you have such questions in mind, go ahead and read it further.

Who needs to file the returns?

For those whose taxable income exceeds Rs.2 lakhs in a financial year by way of income from salary, house property, capital gains and income from other sources needs to file the returns on or before July 31st every year.

For income from business or profession the last date of filing return is September 30th every year.

Is the return filing process cumbersome?

Not at all. The CBDT(central board of direct taxes) has made the tax filing process easier than before. It is mandatory to file returns through online for those whose taxable income exceeds Rs.5 lacs in year.

First you need to register your PAN in the incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in website. There are forms available like

    ITR 1-> for income from salary and income from other source,
    ITR 2-> income from house property and capital gains,
    ITR 4S-> Income from salary and professional income.

You need to choose the forms based on your income source and fill the same. After filling the same you need to upload it. You will receive an acknowledgement ITR V for the return filed through online.

Take a print out, sign and send it to the central processing center in Bangalore within 120 days from the date of filing. Your return will be considered as filed only after the receipt of the ITR V. There is no need to send the ITR V if you are having digital signature.

What happens if I do not file my returns on or before the deadline?

As per the section 234 in the Income tax act, there are various penalties and implications attached to delay in filing or non-filing of your returns.

Interest under section 234 A for delay in filing of return after 31st July

If you need to pay tax and filed return after 31st July then you have to pay interest of 1% for every month for the tax due for delay in filing of returns. For example, if you need to pay Rs.50,000 as tax for the financial year 2012-13. The company had deducted TDS of Rs.30,000 and you didn’t pay the remaining Rs. 20,000 within the due date 31st July 2013. You have decided to file your return in the month of October 2013. Then you have to pay interest of Rs.600 for the delay of return filing under section 234 A.

Interest under section 234 B for nonpayment of advance tax

Any tax payable has to be paid on or before 31st March of every year. If the tax liability exceeds Rs.10000 in a financial year and not paid the tax on or before 31st March then 1% interest will be charged for every month because of non payment of advance tax.

As per the above example the interest to be payable under sec 234 B is Rs.1400. This is in addition to the interest levied under sec 234 A.

Also there will be additional interest levied under sec 234 c for non-payment of advance tax within the specified deadline.

Discretionary Penalty

If you have not filed returns even after one financial year from the assessment year , you need to pay the discretionary penalty of Rs. 5,000. Say for example, you have not filed the returns for the last assessment year, 2012-13, you can file it in the current assessment year 2013-14 without any penalty.

But if you are missing it this year too and filing it in the next assessment year, 2014-15, you need to pay the penalty of Rs. 5,000. In case of nonpayment of full or partial tax in the current or subsequent financial year, you will end up paying the penalty of Rs.5000+1% each month.

Capital loss to be carried forward

In case of capital loss, it is mandatory to file it before July 31st of the assessment year. The capital losses are not allowed to carry forward if you file your return beyond the due date. However, in case of capital loss due to selling your property, land or a house, you are allowed to take it forward even if you are filing late.

Revised Filing

It is very, very important to remember not to do any mistakes while filing tax returns. If so you need to do a revised filing. If you file your return through online then the necessary rectification should also be done through online only.

Delayed filing of your taxes will not affect getting refund, if any. However, not only avoiding penalties, filing your returns on time will save you in many situations. If you want to apply for a visa to any country like USA, Europe, UK and all, it is mandatory that you submit the documents related to income tax filing.

There are also processes involved while getting loans from banks where you will be asked to submit the IT related documents. Not paying or filing returns on time may lead to rejection of visa or loans.

To have a tax plan and investment plan completely in alignment with your financial goals, you should have a well thought out financial plan. If you are really interested in creating a personalised financial plan, then I would firmly suggest you to test-drive our services by opting for

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
