These people can still file ITR without penalty. Know about them here-
First know the last date of Belated ITR
The last date for filing Belated ITR is 31st December. But the department does not pay interest to those who file belated ITR. Let us tell you that on filing ITR on time, the taxpayer gets interest at the rate of 0.5 percent per month on the refund amount.
How much penalty will have to be paid
If the annual income of an individual taxpayer is more than Rs 5 lakh, then he will have to pay a late fee of up to Rs 5,000 for filing ITR after the due date. On the other hand, if the annual income is less than Rs 5 lakh, then he will have to pay Rs 1,000 as late fee.
These people can still file ITR without penalty
For such businessmen or individuals whose accounts need to be audited, the deadline for filing ITR is different. These people can file ITR till 31 October. They are given an additional time of 3 months by the Income Tax Department so that they can get it audited by a recognized CA and then file their ITR.
