how to run in linux, not going to pay 1000 penalty this time for bad work
There are techies in the Department, probably being encouraged by software guys and tax professionals to make a common man who is not all that tech savvy to run to a tax professional to file ITR. Downloading Zip file, extracting, saving uploading may be easy for a techie – NOT ME. Even as an Honorable Supreme Court Justice mentioned it takes 3 days to a week for even him to file an ITR !!!! Jai Hind. WE MUST MOVE FORWARD WITH ALL POSSIBLEW COMPLICATIONS
Guys ( Including Honrable FM)
This is disgusting , why you are not able to stick in one utility for a year. . Is software development and trial more important than ease of understanding.
Please regulate such changes and get some matured professional services .always keep in your mind , who are user.
Sorry to say , but too childish way of managing this .
