If an Income Tax Return for a financial year has not been filed up to the due date prescribed, it can still be filed at any time before the end of the relevant assessment year. Thus, the Income Tax Return for the financial year 2017-18 can be filed till March 31, 2019. However, you shall be liable to pay a late filing fee under section 234F of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act). For individuals having income above Rs 5 lakh and filing the income tax return after December 31, 2018, but before March 31, 2019, the amount of fee shall be Rs 10,000. But, this late fee shall be limited to Rs 1,000 in case the total income is less than Rs 5 lakh. Further, the late fee shall have to be paid even if there is no tax liability. It can be paid online/offline, by way of self-assessment tax under section 140A of the Act.
