A taxpayer would be permitted to file only one updated return for an assessment year, a government official said on Wednesday.

Speaking at a CII event, CBDT Chairman JB Mohapatra said the intent of this provision is to help people who have genuinely missed out on filing his/her returns. Such taxpayers “can file only one updated return for one assessment year”, Mohapatra said.

An additional 25% on the due tax and interest would have to be paid if the updated ITR is filed within 12 months, while the rate will go up to 50% if it is filed after 12 months, but before 24 months from end of relevant Assessment Year. — PTI

Budget provision

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
