The last Date To File ITR for the assessment year 2023-24 is July 31 for income earned in the financial year 2022-23. The new assessment year will begin on April 1. Typically, the due date for filing ITR is July 31, which is expected to remain the same this year.
While in the past, the Government has extended ITR filing deadlines for various reasons, it is expected that there will be no extension this year. This is because the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has already notified the new ITR forms for AY 2023-24 more than a month in advance. These forms were released on February 10 and can be accessed on the Income Tax website.

Who Needs to File ITR
- When your income exceeds the limit of basic exemption of Rs 2.5 lakh, you are required to file an income tax return (ITR). Currently, those with taxable income up to Rs 5 lakh don’t have to pay any tax.
- Starting from the assessment year 2023-24, the basic exemption limit under the New Tax Regime will be raised to Rs 3 lakh.
Consequences For Missing ITR Filing Deadline
If you miss the income tax return (ITR) filing deadline, there are several consequences that you may face:
- Interest: You will have to pay calculated interest under Section 234A that is 1% per month or the past month on the unpaid tax amount.
- Late fee: You will be required to pay a late fee amount of Rs.5,000 under Section 234F. However, if your total income amount is less than Rs.5 lakh, the late fee shall be reduced to Rs.1,000.
- Loss Adjustment: If you have incurred significant losses from mutual funds, stock markets, properties, or in any of your businesses, then you can carry your tax forward and adjust them with next year’s income. However, loss adjustment is allowed only when you declare the losses in your ITR form and file it with the IT department before the deadline.
- Belated Return: If you miss the ITR form filing due date, you can still file a return after the provided due date, also called a belated return. But you will still have to pay the given late fee amount and interest, and in that condition, you cannot be allowed to carry forward the losses for future adjustments. The income tax department has specified its due date for filing the belated return amount, which is 31st Dec of the assessment year 2023-24 (unless extended by the government). And for this year, the latest date to file a belated return is 31 December 2023.
