Missed the ITR Deadline for AY 2026-27? Belated, Revised and Updated Returns Explained
Missed 31 July 2026? A belated return under Section 139(4) is open until 31 December 2026, with a Section 234F fee of Rs 1,000 or Rs 5,000. Revised returns now run to 31 March 2027, but the new Section 234-I charges a fee after 31 December. Which route applies, and what late filing costs.

Deep writes on the income-tax beat at TaxSocial — ITR form selection and filing mechanics, the old-versus-new regime comparison, capital gains, the Section 87A rebate, TDS credit mismatches, and the interest that runs under Sections 234A, 234B and 234C. His articles work from the bare Act text and CBDT circulars rather than secondary commentary, and carry worked examples using the numbers a taxpayer actually sees on the Income-tax Department portal. Written for people filing their own return as much as for practitioners handling a desk full of them.
