An updated return (ITR-U) can be filed to update your income details if you made any errors or omissions in your original return. It offers a window to voluntarily correct your tax filings.
Time Limit to File ITR-U:
- ITR-U can be filed within 48 months from the end of the relevant assessment year.
- This extended timeline provides more opportunity for voluntary compliance.
Last Dates to File ITR-U for Previous Years:
| Financial & Assessment Year | Last date to file ITR-U |
|---|---|
| FY 20-21 (AY 2021-22) | 31st March 2026 (Deadline passed) |
| FY 21-22 (AY 2022-23) | 31st March 2027 |
| FY 22-23 (AY 2023-24) | 31st March 2028 |

| FY 25-26 (AY 2026-27) | 31st March 2031 |
Additional Tax for ITR-U:
When filing ITR-U, an additional tax is payable. The amount depends on when the ITR-U is filed:
| ITR-U Filed Within | Additional Tax Payable |
|---|---|
| Within 12 months from end of relevant AY | 25% of (additional tax + interest) |
| Within 24 months from end of relevant AY | 50% of (additional tax + interest) |
| Within 36 months from end of relevant AY | 60% of (additional tax + interest) |
| Within 48 months from end of relevant AY | 70% of (additional tax + interest) |
Note: The "additional tax + interest" refers to the tax liability calculated on the additional income declared in ITR-U, plus any interest applicable on that tax amount (e.g., u/s 234A, 234B, 234C - which is complex and should be precisely calculated by a professional or official utility).
