Kerala HC directs CBDT to consider representation for Further Extension of Tax Audit Due Date

S.K. Sunilkumar & All Kerala Chartered Accountants Association Vs CBDT & UOI (Kerala High Court)

Petitioner highlighted the difficulties faced by them in filing returns before the last date because of the recent flood ravage in Kerala State. So they wanted the last date for the filing of returns extended to 31.12.2018. The Department has, however, extended the period till 15.10.2018. Reckoning that period to be inadequate, the petitioners have filed this writ petition.

Hon’ble high Court held that To meet the ends of justice, CBDT will consider the petitioner’s representation and take appropriate decision, at any rate, on or before the extended period ends.
