dear
if u r a employee then the TDS will be deducted by the Emploter & u need not worry for the Tax to be paid
all u need to do is to declare your total income to your employer
& do file the return by 31st july

The due date for filing ITR is 31st July of the assessment year. The entire amount of income tax due on taxable income is to be paid / deducted on or before filing ITR. Hence, 31st July is due date for both. Belated ITR can be filed even after 31st July.

Its not merely NIL returns. All types of returns (pertaining to individuals HUF) can be filed by 31st march i.e the end of the relevant Assessment year. Penalty u/s. 271F is (Rs.5000/=) gets attracted only if this deadline is not met and there is a demand / tax liability in the concerned return

Sir
If you hae tax laiblilty , then you have to pay it before 31st July thus it is the last date for both .
However if you are not liable to pay tax you can file your return till 31st march ( Relating A.Y. )

The due date for filing return of income u/s. 139(1) is 31st of July. Its suggested that you adhere to this due date only as you have the benefit of revising it if required.

Mr.Chanakya
to be clear, Return has to be filed before 31st of July.....
Incase you have refund or Nil tax, you can file your return after 31st july but before one year from the end of relevant A.Y.
Tax should be paid in advance before 15th march in 3 installments(individuals)....If you don't pay tax in time Interest will arise under sec 234...
