Mere delay in submitting ITR-V does not make return invalid to deny benefit of carry forward of losses

M/s. Electronics & Controls Power Systems Pvt. Ltd. Vs DCIT (ITAT Bangalore)

In the instant case, the ITR-V was filed though belated but on 31.03.2009. The return of income was filed well before the due date of filing of return under section 139(1) of the Act.

We therefore hold that the assessee is entitled to carry forward of loss to future years.
