14 October 2017 Hello sir/madam,
I failed to file my income ta return for Financial Year 2014-2015 and now I know that time limit for filing is expired which was only upto 31st March 2017. I want to know whether there is any option for me, as I am entitled to receive refund for the same period and I do not want to loose the money. I have heard that sometimes the department condones the delay/failure in filing return if we make an application for the same.
please suggest I will remain thankful.
Regards.

17 May 2018 First file an application with the jurisdictional Commissioner of Income-Tax seeking condonation of delay in filing the return. the application should mention in detail the reasons for not filing the return within the due date. Once the condonation application is accepted by the Commissioner and an order condoning the delay is passed by the Commissioner, then you can file the income tax return online. A copy of the order is required to be attached on the efiling portal.
