Every person is required to file with the Wealth-tax Officer a return of net wealth in Form BA, if his net wealth or net wealth of any other person in respect of which he is assessable under the Act on the valuation date is of such an amount as to render him liable to wealth-tax. Return can be filed on or before the “due date” specified under section 139 of the Income-tax Act.
Return in response to a notice - In the case of any person who, in the opinion of Wealth-tax Officer, is assessable to tax, the Wealth-tax Officer may, before the end of the relevant assessment year, issue a notice requiring him to furnish, within 30 days from the date of service of such notice, a return of net wealth in the prescribed form.
