After this, now the new deadline for filing the revised / revised income tax return for the financial year 2019-20 and for the financial year 2018-19 has become 30 November.

It will also have to be noted that late fees of Rs 10,000 will also have to be paid for filing late ITR for the financial year 2018-19. However, if the total income remains below Rs 5 lakh, then the maximum late fee of Rs 1,000 will be collected.

If the bilated returns are called, then income tax returns for any financial year are filed after the deadline. Whereas, a person fills the revised income tax return, when he has forgotten to give any information before return. Generally, the revised returns are filled when there is a mistake in not claiming tax exemption or information about income or giving bank account information etc. The bilated ITR is filed under section 1394 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Whereas, revised returns are filed under 1395.
