Shocking News Last Chance to File ITR and  GST Returns Deadline!

If you miss the ITR deadline, the late fee can increase substantially after the deadline, from ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 depending on the taxable income. Don’t wait till the last minute!

Late Fees Can Skyrocket:

After today, you can’t file a revised return for FY 2023-24. If you realize you made an error after submission, you’ll have to live with it or risk penalties.

Revised Returns Only Until December 31:

Interest Charges on GST Delays:

Beyond the December 31st deadline, GST returns incur not only late fees but also interest charges of 18% per annum. This can drain your funds quickly!

Zero Late Fee For Small Taxpayers:

If your annual GST turnover is less than ₹5 lakhs, you can still file GST returns without a late fee after December 31. But be sure you're within the exemption limits.

A Non-filing Penalty for GST Registrants:

GST-registered individuals who fail to file their returns for six months will face automatic cancellation of their GST registration. A costly oversight!

Time-Sensitive Eligibility for ITR Filing:

ertain ITR forms can only be filed on or before the deadline based on your income type.

Financial Year vs. Assessment Year Confusion:

Many taxpayers confuse the financial year with the assessment year when filing ITR. Ensure you’re entering correct dates to avoid mistakes and penalties.

Penalty-Free Filing for HUFs and Small Taxpayers:

Some Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) and small taxpayers are allowed to file their returns late without facing penalties under certain conditions. Check your eligibility!

GST Returns for NRIs:

Non-resident Indians have a different GST return filing timeline. If you’re an NRI and miss today’s deadline, your GST return will incur late fees based on Indian tax laws.

Income Below the Taxable Threshold?:

Even if your income is below the taxable limit, you must file your return if you’ve earned income from a foreign source or own a foreign asset. Filing is still mandatory.
