As on quarter ending 31 mar 2017, the company had a particular service bill for around 1.3 crores and had already paid service tax on it and also showed it in the service tax return. But unfortunately, the income was somehow not included while calculating total income.

Without considering the above income of 1.3 crores, the company has a loss of 1.2 crores.

The return of income was filed after the due date showing a loss of 1.2 crores.

Now, I know loss cannot be carried forward in case of belated return, but my question is can I revise the return and set off the loss from the income of the same FY?

Yes, now you can revise the belated return till March, 31st. 2019. (For AY 2017-18 only)

Read: " A return can be revised at any time before the end of the relevant assessment year or before the completion of the assessment, whichever is earlier. It should be noted that only a return filed under section 139(1) or belated return filed under section 139(4) can be revised.

A return of income filed pursuant to notice under section 142(1) of Act cannot be revised under section 139(5).
