The assessment year is the review year for FY 2023-24 where you file your returns and declare your investments for tax assessment. For the income earned during the FY (here FY 2023-24), the assessment year would be the immediately next year, i.e., 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. Hence, the assessment year would be AY 2024-25.

What happens if you miss the ITR filing deadline?

  • Interest: If you submit your return after the deadline, you will be liable to pay interest at a rate of 1% per month or part month on the unpaid tax amount as per Section 234A.
  • Late fee: In case of late filing, Section 234F imposes a late fee of Rs.5,000, which shall be reduced to Rs.1,000 if your total income is below Rs.5 lakh.
  • Loss Adjustment: In case you have incurred losses from sources like the stock market, mutual funds, properties, or any of your businesses, you have the option to carry them forward and offset them against your income in the subsequent year. This provision substantially reduces your tax liability in the future years. However, you will not be allowed to carry forward these losses if you miss filing your ITR before the deadline.
