REQUEST TO EXCUSE (CONDONE) A DELAY
Date: 2 April 2026. To: The Principal Commissioner of Income Tax, Chandigarh.
Subject: Request to condone delay for Assessment year 2025-26. PAN: ABCDE1234F.
I, Balwinder Singh, of House 40, Sector 21, Panchkula, ask you to excuse a delay. The matter in which the delay occurred is my income tax return for Assessment year 2025-26. The last date allowed was 1 April 2026. It was filed, or will be filed, on 2 April 2026. A refund of ₹18,000 (Rupees Eighteen Thousand only) is claimed.
The reasons for the delay: I was in hospital from June to September and my accountant could not file without my papers.
The delay was not deliberate. I enclose these papers in support: hospital discharge summary, acknowledgement of the return.
I ask that the delay be excused and that the filing be accepted and processed as if made in time, and that any refund due be processed. I understand that the law decides who may excuse a delay, in which cases and by what time, and that the request may have to be made online or in a prescribed manner. If you are not the proper authority, I ask that this be passed to the proper authority, and I will make the request in the prescribed manner if I am told how.
This is my own letter written in my own words. The statements above are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
