I think ITR-V sent by Speed Post is accepted now as per a news item few days back? Kindly confirm
Dear Sir, It will be helpful if the notification is put up on the site for everyone to see and act.
I hope the period of sending ITR : V to Bangalore has been extended to 6 months
The time limit as per income tax website is increased to 60 days now as I read it in last week of March 2010.
ITR V can be sent by speed post only in the case when the original post does not reach CPC Bangalore for any reason whatsoever.
