Tomorrow is the last date to file your ITR: What happens if you miss it
New Delhi, July 30: The last date to file income tax return (ITR) for the financial year 2021-22 is tomorrow, July 31 2022. It is a good idea to file it before the last date. However if you miss filing it, then what happens.
If you miss the deadline of July 31, then you can still file it by December 31 2022. However you will have to pay a late fee and it could have some financial consequences.
The late fee for those whose annual income is up to Rs 5 lakh is Rs 1,000. If you annual income is above Rs 5,000 then the late fee is Rs 5,000.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on Tuesday extended the due dates for Income Tax Return (ITR) filing for certain category of taxpayers for the financial year 2020-21 "on consideration of difficulties reported by taxpayers and stakeholders due to Covid and in electronic filing of various reports", said the Ministry of Finance in a statement.
