ITR is filed and no tax paid yet

[Guest]

I am salaried income earner. I need to pay tax amount but ITR is already filed on 25/07/16 for A.Y 2016–17. I received an error from CPC. I ignore the error and didn't pay tax & error is vanished now.

Kindly let me know what should be done here to pay tax & whether late payment charges are applicable.

You have to pay the tax along with interest and then file the return.

AI Summary

Payment of tax: remit unpaid tax with applicable interest, then complete or regularise the return filing to ensure compliance. A salaried taxpayer filed an income tax return without paying tax after an initial CPC error; the advised remedial step is to pay the outstanding tax with applicable interest and then complete the return-filing process to regularise the return.
