Hi,
I have a question on long-term capital gains. Suppose we incur a long-term capital loss but we file the returns after 31/7, can we carry forward the capital loss to future periods ?
In case, we have filed the return in time but forgot to include the long-term capital loss this year, can we file a revised return before 31/7 ?
Please advise immediately.

I have submitted the return for A.Y. 2014-15 on 18th august i.e. after its due date of 31st July. However post submission i observed that tax was payable on it and my Form ITR-V show a tax payable. Now since i can not revise my return because it was filed after the due date, what should i do?
Also i have read somewhere that an ITR submitted with Tax payable is defunct. Kindly advice.
I have submitted my income tax return for Assessment Year 2014-15 on 27 July 2014. On printing ITR-V I realised that I need to pay an additional tax of Rs.3190/- which I paid on 30 July 2014. I am unable to reload this return since the web site does not accept “revised return” prior to 31 July 2014. Please advise what should I do to file correct return after including the additional tax paid.
Paying of Tax before due date is important , filing of late written will attract section 234A of income tax Act 1961.
For filing revised written, go to your income tax login page where in there is a option of filing revised written, wherein you can get it done easily as per the options available.
What are the consiquences of filing belated , non-taxable ITR for F.Y -2011-12
interest will be charged though there was no Tax liablility.
If return is non-taxable, on which amount will interest get charged?
Sir,
I am individual resident retired Assessee getting pension. The employer and Banks have done TDS before March 2014. I had also paid Advance Tax (more than 90% of the assessed tax amount) during March 2014. When I got Form 16 from Banks during July 2014, the interest paid to my fixed deposits was little higher than what was anticipated during March and hence now during July I have paid the additional tax in the form of self assessment tax. But the question is since I have paid more than 90% advance tax during March 2014 do I need to add Interest of 1% to this tax paid during July for 4 months starting from April ?
no you need not pay any interest, as the section 234C is already complied by paying more than 90% of the assessed tax.
