Under section 119(2)(b), delay in filing a return for refund must be examined on reasonable cause, genuine hardship, and any indication of tax evasion. The petitioner supported delayed filing with medical records showing illness of the working partner, and the Court held that this explanation required proper consideration as genuine hardship.
