Consequently, what will happen if I don't file ITR?
If you are in the taxable bracket, you must file income tax returns (ITR). In case you miss this deadline, you can still file your income tax returns but in that case, it may invite a penalty of up to Rs 10,000. Besides this, a delay in filing of income tax returns also makes you liable to pay interest.
One may also ask, how long can you go without filing a tax return? You should be filing your tax returns when they are due, the IRS does not "allow" anyone up to two years without imposing a penalty. If you are due a refund there is no penalty for filing a late Federal return, but you have to file your return within 3 years of the original filing date of the return to claim a refund.
