ITR File Last Date: If some work is done on time, then you can avoid getting into any kind of problem later. One such work is necessary to be completed before 31 July 2024, but let us know which one.
Income Tax Return File Last Date: A few months ago, a case came to light in which a woman was sent to jail because she did not file her income tax return. On the complaint of the Income Tax Office, the woman was sentenced to 6 months in jail for not filing ITR. She also had to pay a fine of Rs 5,000. However, due to the woman being illiterate and not having any information about this, the court sentenced her to only 6 months in jail. Otherwise, under section 276CC, a sentence of up to 7 years is given for this.
Complete this work before 31st July
At the same time, if you also do not want to go to jail, then file your income tax return as soon as possible before 31st July. Often people do not take income tax return seriously and keep waiting for the last date. In such a situation, if the server goes down on the last date, then your work of filing income tax return will not be done and then the problem may also increase for you.
