Sec 139(1) Every person shall on or before the due date furnish a return of income …..during the previous year, in the prescribed form... Sec 2(34) previous year means previous year as defined in Sec 3 Sec 3-previous year means financial year immediately preceding the assessment year provided in case of business newly set up or a source of income newly coming into existence, in the said financial year, previous year shall be the period beginning with date of setting up business and ending with the said financial year.
