U/s139(4)...Belated return.

You can surely file return for AY 2015-16 u/s 139(4). It can be filed within 1year from the end of relevant Assessment Year. Thus you are allowed to file on or before 31/03/2017. ( For AY 2015-16). The same section is ammended recently to reduce the time limit. Thus from AY 2017-18 onwards the last date upto which you can file return is upto the end of relevant assessment year. Also, you need to keep in mind that the same cannot be revised. Since the return filed within due date mentioned u/s 139(1) can only be revised. Thanks CA Fenil Doshi Fenil Doshi & Co.
