It is not possible to file itr without preparing tax audit report. They should consider extention for all till30th nov..
Dear Sir,
In spite of so many representations from all corners the due date for filing ITRs is not extended though the due date of filing audit report was extended, which is not of much use because the ITRs are to be prepared basing on the information furnished in the Audit Reports. Now due to floods it is extended in J & K. Let us pray for floods on other states too!
