It is central board of direct taxes? never i think its some state board of direct taxes
This order will only increase litigation as it limits the Judicial Authority and challenges principles of juris-prudence!!
Now if we quote a decision of a High Court which is not of the Assessee’s Jurisdiction the AO is out rightly going to reject such order, taking precedence from this CBDT order.
which date extended in gujarat audit report, return or both. Clarification is not given in notification .
CBDT HAS LOWERED THE IMAGE OF THE GOVT & FINANCE MINISTER. THEY CAN CREATE A SEPARAE LAW FOR EACH STATE. BJP HAS BEEN PUT IN BAD LIGHT BECAUSE OF A FEW OFFICIALS AND MADE PC BETTER THAN AJ.
Until today it was known that such and such law is applicable to whole of india except the sate of jammu & kashmir, but from today we have something which applies to whole of india except punjab, haryana, chandigarh & gujarat…….. making of the new era ???????????
I see no reason why date should be extended,since its the businessman who are delaying to get their accounts prepared on time. I think penalties are must to lazy assesses but it should be only in the nature of interest and not as penalty as is being currently levied.
Is cbdt is working on FM words? is cbdt is doing right thing? it’s like a scripted drama. they have to extend the due date and they know it very well.
A High Court judgment on a central law has pan India application, unless there are contrary judgment of jurisdictional High Court.
The action on the part of CBDT is against the court’s verdict and is contempt of Court.
It appears that the Government is looking at penalties etc to fill it’s coffers. It wishes to enrich itself at the cost of Citizens’ suffering.
From the order i fill the date of filling income tax return extended not the audit report pls clarify the judgement
British Raj legacy well kept – Divide and Rule. Well done CBDT. Deserve one more ” Prime Minister’s award for excellence in Public Administration”
