Taxpayers who haven't filed their income tax returns for FY 2022-2023 must file by December 31, 2023 to avoid penalties and interest charges.

An updated income tax return (ITR-U) can be filed within 24 months from the end of the relevant assessment year, provided the deadline for filing either revised ITR and belated ITR (if applicable) is already over. Further in certain specified instances ITR-U cannot be filed.

The Budget 2022 amended the income tax laws to allow a taxpayer to file updated return using ITR-U form. However, the income tax laws has clearly defined the instances where a taxpayer can and cannot file updated return. The aim of allowing taxpayers to file updated return is to increase the voluntary compliances and avoid litigation.

The income tax laws allow an individual to file updated return. The concept of updated return was introduced in the Union Budget 2022 to allow individuals rectify their mistake made while filing ITR or to allow one more chance to individuals to file ITR if they have not filed ITR previously.

Abhishek Soni, Co-founder & CEO of Tax2win said, taxpayers must also be aware of the various tax rules with a deadline of March 31, 2023, and take necessary action before it is too late.
