Respected Madam,
Ref: Request to consider extension in the dates of furnishing of Tax Audit Report under section 44AB and the due date of filing ITRs of A Y 2020-21
Respected Madam, we wish to appraise your good self that in West Bengal as also many other States, due to Corona Pandemic normalcy in operations is yet to set in as most of the working force commutes by local train and the local train service has resumed with only partial operations from 11th November, 2020, which makes difficult for work force to reach their office. Many professionals as well as their key staff have suffered infection from Covid -19. Therefore, in most of the offices the Businessmen as well as Professionals are unable to complete their incomplete work and prepare the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2020.
Furnishing of Tax Audit etc. and submission of ITRs
Respected Madam, as you are aware that the accountants are normally preparing all audit and tax returns data and Audit Assistants of Audit firms do check the same, the compliances related Tax Audit Re-port under section 44AB of the Income Tax Act and ITR submission cannot be completed in spite of best intentions of the owners to do so, as the staff of their offices and also the assistants in the offices of the Professionals are not being able to attend offices.
In so far as Companies cases are concerned, their due date of holding AGM has been allowed extension by MCA and therefore almost all companies are likely to hold AGM by 31st December 2020 and since a copy of the audited report is also attached with the Tax Audit Report, it in nearly impossible to complete the furnishing of Tax Audit Report. The Form 3CD for Tax Audit Report under sec. 44AB as well as Form 3CEB for Report in case of International and specified domestic transactions under sec. 92E have also been recently modified vide Notification No. 82/2020 dated 1.10.2020.
Madam, you will further appreciate that there was a delay in launching the schema of the Tax Audit Report and there have been changes at least three times since it was first launched.
All these problems combined together, it is very sad affairs and people are still not ready with their Ac-counts, Audit and ITR.
Madam, in view of the aforesaid situation, we humbly request to extend the due dates of furnishing Tax Audit Report in Form 3CD and also pray for extension of date for furnishing the Income Tax returns to 31st March, 2021.
Since the specified date and due date are approaching soon, we would appreciate it if your good self would make an early announcement in this matter so that the entrepreneurs and professionals do not un-necessarily expose themselves to too much stress and risk of Pandemic.
Respected Madam, these are difficult times for the country and the country will certainly look upto your help for addressing these issues.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Pl. consider all over Indian people’s
request and extend due dates
Dates for scrutiny and all other matters related to assessments were extended till 31st March 2021. Where the all officials and staff of government offices are traveling by all means of traveling media as essential services. But we the common people who are not allowed to use all these traveling mode to reach office have to beg before our government to extend for due date even though we are trying hard to complete the work within time but it is impossible. So please extend all the due dates by 31st March 2021
I am also apriciate with all of you it should be extend due date.
Yes, the date should be extend to 31st March 2021 for all I T Returns And All Tax Audit Report And forms.
whether all these problems visible and faced by only Professionals? Can’t the Govt understand the problems until we beg before them. First of all what is the rationale behind filing the Audit Report can anybody explain? Few of the disallowances done in 3CD is allowable if it is paid before filing the ITR, then what is the significance of Audit Report? So far no FM is kind enough to understand the practical problems.
Due date for filing Tax Returns should be extended at least up to 31st of March 2021,
Reasons explained by various forums all over India .
it would be appreciable if the income tax due dates and GST audit for the year 2018-19 are extended upto 31.03.2021.
due to pandamic situation and second wave of Covid-19, most of the CA office audit staff members are absent and the time is not sufficient to fulfill the works. it would be better if extension date is to be decided within couple of days.
I am also apriciate wiith all of you it should be extend due date and Smt Nirmal Sitharaman will hearing our request
