Under Section 139(5) of the Income Tax Act, taxpayers can file a revised ITR to amend any errors in their original return. The best part? There is no limit on how many times you can revise your return, provided you meet the timeline requirements.
How Many Times Can You Revise Your ITR?
The Income Tax Department permits unlimited revisions to your ITR as long as they are filed within the stipulated deadline. A revised return must be filed either three months before the end of the assessment year or before the completion of the assessment, whichever is earlier.
For example, for the financial year 2024-25, the assessment year ends in March 2026. So, taxpayers have until December 2025 to submit revised returns, or until the assessment is completed, whichever happens first.
What Does This Mean for Taxpayers?
This flexibility encourages taxpayers to correct any errors without fear of penalties or missed deadlines. It also ensures better compliance and accurate tax reporting.
With ITR filing season in full swing, taxpayers are advised to review their returns carefully. But if you discover mistakes later, remember, revising your ITR is always an option—just be mindful of the deadlines.
