I have paid rs1000 surcharge for inclusion in ATL list on 4th June 2024 and I checked today(6th June 2024) I am still not in active tax payer list. what can be the reason? and how long does it take to be in the list?
Other than AJK , ATL paid will update name on the same day.
I have paid late chalan fee 1000 in bank through hard copy. How I can update and become active?
there are two issues which had been observed generally
1st the list has not been updated from 2022 .. and the active list. that is why you have to file the return from 2022 and the surcharge challan of 2022
2nd the return of 2024 was not file by the person they only try to pay challan.
May be this will help you.
Correction Please, ATL is updated on base of 2023 tax-returns and ATL Surcharge of 2023. It seems you mistakenly mentioned 2022.
After 30 June 2024 (end of tax year), is the status of inactive will be reversed to active or not?
No, status changes automatically only on March 1st each year. If your status is in-active this mean you will have to file tax-returns of 2023 and pay atl surcharge of 2023 only then you can be activated.
Last year when I submitted Late Surcharge, I was immediately placed on ATL and my status was showing Active. But this time it’s been over a day n I’m still shown inactive. How can we pursue this?
Yes, after paying ATL and filing return of past year one is updated in ATL, if its not the case please check whether return is actually submitted and ATL Challan is clear (get its CPR).
And next time try and submit return within due dates, i.e July 01 till September 30. Late returns are qualified for “Audit Selection”.

Thank you for your suggessions and will keep them in mind in future. However our 24/7 Free Tax Consultancy Helpline is available for those who still needs clarifications.
I strongly recommended Mr Aslam comments
Highly appreciated. Will keep them in mind.
i filed tax return of tax year 2023 in Jan, 2024 and did not pay the surcharge. So, i was not included in ATL. However, the tax year 2023 is over now and i filed tax return of 2024 on 13 Jul, 24. Again i am not included in ATL. What can be the reason.
If you want yourself to be in ATL you should pay ATL Surcharge for 2023 due to late filing. Otherwise wait for March 1, 2025 and you will be automatically activated on the basis of filing 2024 tax-returns on time.

I’m gonna be a filter now, how to proceed as should I pay tax for TY2024 only (any late payment penalties etc?) or would I need to file or Returns laying pending to be filled from TY2014?
