ITR-U Filing
Missed income on a past return? Filed under the wrong head? ITR-U lets you correct returns up to 48 months back — but the additional tax climbs from 25% to 70% the longer you wait. We compute the true cost and file it right.

Overview
What ITR-U actually is
ITR-U is the updated return under Section 139(8A), for correcting errors or filing returns you missed.
Since April 2025, it can be filed within 48 months of the end of the relevant assessment year.
Additional tax applies: 25%, 50%, 60%, or 70% of the tax-plus-interest on the extra income, depending on delay.
It cannot reduce tax liability, generate refunds, or increase losses — it is a correction route, not a planning tool.
Benefits
Why taxpayers file ITR-U through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Fix returns up to 4 years back
Missed income, wrong head, an unclaimed deduction you forgot — ITR-U lets you correct returns up to 48 months back. We assess what can still be fixed.
True cost computed upfront
The additional tax runs 25%, 50%, 60%, or 70% depending on how late you file. We compute the exact cost before you commit, so there are no surprises.
Penalty protection through timing
An updated return filed voluntarily generally protects you from the misreporting penalty that a scrutiny notice would bring. Timing matters enormously here.
Honest call on eligibility
ITR-U has hard exclusions — it cannot reduce your tax, claim a refund, or increase losses. We tell you honestly when it is not the right route.
Documents
Documents required for ITR-U (Updated Return) Filing
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
ITR-U filing process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 6
1. Check if ITR-U is allowed
An updated return can be filed within 24 months from the end of the relevant assessment year. It cannot be used to claim a refund or reduce your tax liability — only to report missed income. We confirm eligibility first.
2. Identify the missed income
We compare your original return with Form 26AS and AIS to find exactly what was left out — interest, freelance receipts and capital gains are the usual ones — typically within 1–2 working days.
3. Compute tax plus additional tax
We calculate the tax on the extra income plus interest, then add the statutory additional tax: 25% if filed within 12 months of the assessment year end, 50% if filed between 12 and 24 months.
4. Pay the dues on challan 280
You pay the full amount — tax, interest and additional tax — before filing. An ITR-U without proof of payment is invalid.
5. File Form ITR-U on incometax.gov.in
We file the updated return on the e-filing portal with the challan details and the reason for the update. You receive the acknowledgement the same day.
6. E-verify within 30 days
The updated return must be e-verified within 30 days of filing, after which we track its processing to closure.

An updated return under Section 139(8A) — it lets you correct errors or file a missed return within 48 months of the end of the relevant assessment year, on payment of additional tax.
25% if filed within 12 months of the assessment year's end, 50% within 24 months, 60% within 36 months, and 70% within 48 months — computed on the tax plus interest on the additional income.
No. ITR-U cannot be used to reduce your tax liability, claim a refund, or increase losses or carry-forwards. If that is what you need, this is not the route.
Yes — that is one of its main uses. If you never filed for a year, ITR-U lets you file now, with the additional tax for the delay.
Filing voluntarily before the department acts is almost always cheaper than waiting for a notice. The additional tax only rises with time — it never falls.
Certain cases are excluded — including some search and prosecution situations. We check your specific facts against the exclusions before filing anything.
