What if the due date for filing the return is missed?

If the original due date for filing an income tax return is missed, you can file a return later after the due date - such return is known as a "belated return". The income tax agency also mentions the date by which the belated return must be filed. This deadline has been pushed back three months to December 31st of the assessment year (unless extended by the government).
However, if you file your ITR after the deadline, you'll have to pay a penalty under Section 234F. A taxpayer can be charged up to ₹10,000 in late filing fees. The IT Department, on the other hand, imposes a ₹1,000 penalty on those whose income does not exceed ₹5,000,000. This provides financial relief to these taxpayers.
The penalty for filing a late return is described in the following table:
