Can I modify my tax return to assert specific DTAA advantages?

I submitted my tax return (ITR) as a non-resident Indian (NRI) and it has actually been refined. If I wish to modify the ITR prior to 31 December do I require to submit an upgraded ITR? I failed to remember to reveal some rate of interest earnings that is taxed at 12.5% under a dual taxes evasion contract (DTAA).

– Name kept on demand

Since you discussed that your rate of interest earnings is taxed at the price of 12.5% under the DTAA, I will certainly make 2 presumptions: (a) you certify as a non-resident under DTAA; and (b) for simpleness purpose, the rate of interest earnings associates with rate of interest gained on an non-resident regular (NRO) checking account.

You discussed you have actually currently submitted your ITR for FY24 yet missed out on reporting the taxed rate of interest earnings from your NRO account. You can submit a changed return under Section 139( 5) at any time prior to 31 December 2024 to remedy this mistake. If you miss out on the target date you will not have any type of choice left yet to submit an upgraded return (ITR-U) by 31 March 2027. However, submitting an upgraded return will certainly draw in an extra responsibility of 25% or 50% on the quantity of tax obligation, depending upon the when you submit it.

Since the India- UAE DTAA has a helpful tax obligation price of 12.5% on rate of interest earnings, you can still provide to exhaust the neglected rate of interest earnings at this price while modifying your initial income tax return or while submitting an upgraded income tax return.

A modified return can be submitted prior to the conclusion of evaluation also if the initial return has actually been refined by the tax obligation division. On the various other hand, an upgraded return can not be submitted throughout or after the assessment/reassessment.
