Last opportunity for eligible taxpayers to claim 87A tax rebate: Why you must file revised/belated ITR before January 15, 2025
tax rebate issue is of special interest and debate among taxpayers. The issue became so contentious that multiple court cases were filed against the tax department’s decision to deny eligible taxpayers the benefit of 87A tax rebate. The tax department seems to have taken a stance that if special rate incomes like short term capital gains income exists in the ITR then that ITR cannot claim 87A tax rebate. This stance however was not properly communicated to taxpayers and changes were made to the ITR processing software suddenly on July 5, 2024, which is what caused the whole 87A tax rebate mess.
