1. Not a Belated Return as the assessee filed return in response of notice issued u/s 142(1) within time limit prescribed in notice.

2. Assessee can carry forward losses only when return filed within time limit prescribed u/s 139(1) as per section 139(3 ) read with sec 80.

However if loss pertains to house property and in the nature of unabsorbed dep than no need to filed return within above time limit

3. No matter assessee is individual or company.

However company assess are mandatory to file return whether income or loss during the PY.

And individual is required to file loss return if want to carry forward losses.

I have a question for above guys saying it is not a belated return.

Does it mean tht the company can revise the said return? Coz only belated returns cant be revised.

Dear Parth,

It is not a belated return. (pl refer the wordings in 139(4)). Yes, the company can file a revised return u/s.139(5)

Ya i didnt object the fact that it is not belated one. I was only confused as to whether it can be revised or not.

Thanx G. Muguntha

According to Girish Ahuja sir, it is comes under the section of 139(4) that is belated return

but it has a exception

that we can revised this return if it is served as notice under sec. 142(1) and same return filed within notice specified time limit

As sir said in the lecture that it is a biggest mistake in law but we follow the law so it can be revised but loss cannot be carry forward except house property and unabsorbed dep. because for loss it must be filed the return u/s 139(1)if any assesse want to carry forward the loss.

as per 139(1) company and firm whose account audited it is necessary to file the retun either it is of income or loss.

if anybody have any query related to this chapter or any other in DT , IDT, Accounts upto CA Final level. i would like to share my view also. so please email me on nidhi_accountant @ yahoo.co.in
