Delhi woman gets 6 months jail for failing to file ITR on ₹2 crore income

Hindustan Times  

A Delhi Court sentenced a woman to six months in jail for not filing a return on income of ₹2 crores after a complaint was filed by the Income Tax Office alleging that TDS amounting to Rs. The court sentenced Savitri noting, “The convict is awarded a sentence of simple imprisonment for six months with a fine of ₹5,000 and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for one month.” The court noted that the complainant was able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that notices were issued to the accused. ITR is used by taxpayers to formally declare their income, deductions claimed, exemptions and taxes paid and thus it calculates net income tax liability in a fiscal year. As per Income Tax Act of 1961, a person under 60 years of age must file tax returns if a part of their income is taxable.
