Hi I have already filed IT return for the Financial Year 2014-15 (last year), in that year I had bought a residential plot (residential land) and had paid around Rs. 55000/- towards Stamp Duty and Registration Fee, but forgot to declare this amount while filing the IT return, therefore in this scenario I have below queries, kindly reply Query : In above scenario can I file the correction Income Tax return for the Financial Year 2014-15? If yes do I need to send the copy of the Stamp Duty and Registration Fee amount ? And would there be any penalty on the corrective IT return ?

No deduction for stamp duty if paid for residential plot alone. To get deduction u/s 80C(2)(xviii), stamp duty has to be necessarily paid toward 'cost of house property' means land and residential building.
