Are you sure about this? Does Section 139 provides for this?

30 January 2014 Dear Friend,

please note that even Zero income is considered as income. For a company, filing of tax return is compulsory.

30 January 2014 where it is written please highlight,

30 January 2014 isnt it so in general sense itself!!! regardless, you are free to have your opinion.

Is it anywhere written that you need not file return if there is no income/no activity. That privilege was only provided to individuals having income lesser than the exempted limit


Just to back my opinion, you may refer http://www.hlbi.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=532:india-is-filing-returns-mandatory-for-foreign-cos&catid=162:tax-updates

13 February 2014 For a company it is compulsory to file returns even if no business is undertaken. The reason is: u/s 139 every person (includes company) is required to file return if income assessable is higher than the maximum amount not chargeable to tax. In case of companies the maximum amount is NIL. And hence even without business the tax returns have to be filed.

However, if a company is formed between 1st January and 31st March then the promoters / directors have the option of the first year being a 15 month period i.e. from 1st Jan this year to 31st Mar next year and the RoC submissions and IT Returns are to be filed accordingly for 15 months.

13 February 2014 Dear mehul. The it return will only be for 12 months. Income tax doesnt accept 15 months return
