How to Income Tax File
ITR Filing Last Date FY 2021-22 (AY 2022-23), Last Date to File ITR – Income Tax Return Due Date
The due date for filing income tax returns is the date by which the returns can be filed without any late fee or penalty. Taxpayers filing their return beyond such due date will have to pay interest under Section 234A and penalty under Section 234F.
It is important for all taxpayers to remember the due date of filing income tax returns. The due date varies on the basis of taxpayer’s category. For instance, salaried individuals are usually required to file their income tax returns by the 31st of July whereas corporates required to conduct audit can file their returns by 31st October of the assessment year (unless extended by the government).
For example, if your financial year starts from 1 April 2021 and ends on 31 March 2022, then it is denoted as FY 2021-22. The assessment year for the income earned during this period (1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022) would begin after the financial year ends – that is from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023. Hence, the assessment year would be AY 2022-23. Accordingly, the return filing due date for FY 2021-22 would be as mentioned below.

What if you missed filing the return within the due date?
If the due date for filing the original return of income is missed, one can file a return later after the due date, called a belated return. The income tax department also specifies the due date of filing the belated return. This date is now reduced by three months to 31st December of the assessment year (unless extended by the government).
However, a penalty of Rs 5,000 will be charged for the delay in filing of return. But if the total income of the person is less than Rs 5 lakh, then the fee payable is up to Rs 1,000.
