Gangotri Files Ltd. filed its return of income for the assessment year 2024-25, on 15th December 2024. On 2nd March, 2025, the accountant of Gangotri Files Ltd. realised that he had forgotten to claim a genuine business expenditure amounting to ₹ 15,00,000. He wants to file revised return on 2nd March, 2025, to claim such expenditure as the assessment is not yet completed. State with reason whether the action of the accountant of Gangotri Files Ltd. is valid ?
Answer & Explanation:
Answer 4(a) The due date of filing return of income of Gangotri Files Limited for the assessment year 2024-25 is 31st October, 2024 since it is a company. However, it filed its return of income on 15.12.2024, which is a belated return. If any omission is discovered even in a belated return, the same can also be revised up to 31.12.2024 being the date 3 months prior to the end of the relevant assessment year i.e. 31.03.2025 or completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. However, it cannot file a revised return on 02.03.2025 since it is beyond 31.12.2024. Hence, the action of accountant of Gangotri Files Limited is not valid.
