Usually taxpayers file ITR by 31 July, but due to the pandemic this year, the date has been extended. Therefore, if you have not yet filed the return, then you have only two more days.

Will be fined 10 thousand rupees

Last year, the penalty on filing income tax returns after the deadline was only Rs 5,000. But this time, taxpayers who finalize the returns after 31 December will face a fine of Rs 10,000. However, this penalty or late filing fee will be applicable only if the net total income of the taxpayers (ie the proposed deduction and income after tax exemption) exceeds Rs 5 lakh in the financial year.
