24 August 2012 Yes, refund can be claimed even if you file the return after due date. Only thing is that you would not be able to revise the return.

24 August 2012 Yes refund can be claimed. But better to file return in time. Also sometimes you do not receive interest u/s 244A for the delay in filing return.
