CA SUDHIR HALAKHANDI

At the Last the Date of Filing of Income Tax Returns is extended to match it with the date of Tax audit report and this is the natural requirement of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and also the only practically possible solution of the Problem which was created by the Central Board of Direct taxes by introducing the New format of Tax audit report in middle of the year.

The basis of the extension of date by CBDT was verdict of Gujarat High court and we have talked with the petitioner of Gujarat High court CA RAJNI SHAH and in his talk he mentioned the role of WhatsApp Group ‘MISSION TAR DEFERMENT 2014’.

Let us have a Look at this group which included 50 Chartered Accountants from all over the country as its members comprising from the cities Like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Ahemdabad, Lacknow and since group was formed from CA SHIV KHATRY Bikaner city of Rajasthan hence the CAs from Rajasthan were also active members of this Group.

The Group which was established first for “Deferment” of the Midyear Introduction of the Tax audit report on 9^th Aug 2014 by CA SHIV KHATRY of Bikaner but the motive of the Group was changed when the Date of Audit report was extended without extending the date of “Income tax returns” and mission of the group was accomplished on 26^th Sept 2014 when the date of Income tax returns was also extended
