Ignorance of tax laws no excuse! Missed filing ITR on time? Why Delhi High Court refused to condone delay in this case

The Delhi High Court examined the impugned order and the reasons furnished by the petitioner and found no merit in the challenge. The Court specifically rejected the submissions that the petitioner’s lack of awareness of tax laws or his alleged illiteracy could justify the delay. It held that such a plea was not tenable in law.
