Income Tax returns

Filing returns under the Income Tax Act, 1961 is one of the cornerstones of the entire Income Tax laws in India. Filing returns is governed under Section 139 of the Income Tax Act. There are various types of returns under the income tax Act:

  1. Original return
  2. Belated return – Return filed after the due date
  3. Revised return – Return filed after revision of original return

After a preliminary summary assessment, an intimation under section 143 (1) is issued which may either result in no demand or an income tax refund or an income tax demand.
