Extension of due date of VIVAD SE VISHWAS (VSV) to 31.01.2021 from existing date 31.12.2020. Relevant Text of the Representation is as follows:-
Dated: 19.12.2020
To
Shri Pramod Chandra Mody
Central Board of Direct Taxation
Income Tax Department,
New Delhi
Respected Sir,
Subject: Request for extension of due dates of Tax Audit Reports/ITR for A.Y. 2020-21 under Income-tax Act, 1961
i. Tax Audit Reports and related returns
ii. Income Tax Return Forms for AY 2020-21
iii. Vivad se Vishwas Scheme
AIFTP on behalf of stakeholders wish to bring to your kind notice the issues/concerns being faced by taxpayers/members due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant need to further extend the due date of filing ITR Forms and Tax Audit report and other related returns/reports for AY 2020-21.
We request to suitably extend all the due dates of various compliances under Income-tax Act, 1961 for the current financial year and specifically the due date of filing return of income u/s 139(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and the ‘specified date’ for filing tax audit reports for AY 2020-21.
The said representation referred to the prevailing COVID situation in various States and continuing & frequent lockdowns due to increasing corona cases in various citiesmaking the tasks of filing returns etc. and availing services of professionals practically impossible. There is a genuine case for extension of due dates of ITR and Tax Audit Report in the whole of India. During the month of December, there are many other compliances to be made like payment of Advance tax, Vivad se Vishwas (VSV), filing of relevant GST returns, GST Annual Returns.. over & above the Tax audit &Income tax returns.
CBDT has also made changes in Form No. 3CD recently vide Notification No. 82/2020 dated 01.10.2020, which is time consuming &requires certification thereby increasing the compliance burden of the assesses concerned. The online java utility for the same is updated in November, 2020 only. Apart from the major issues arising due to COVID 19 pandemic hampering compliances regarding filing of ITR forms and Tax audit reports, certain concerns like delay in release of online e-filing utilities & continuous and regular updation in the Schemas of the ITR/TAR Form filing utility and detailed information to be provided in notified ITR forms requires time, needs to be kept in mind for considering the due dates extension.
Suggestion(s):
In view of the above and in the interest of the all stakeholders, it is once again humbly requested that the due date of filing return of income u/s 139(1) for all the assesses be suitably extended, to 28.02.2021,from the current extended due date of 31.12.2020 for AY 2020-21.
Simultaneously, the ‘specified date’ for filing tax audit reports be extended from 31.12.2020 to 28.02.2021 as well for AY 2020-21. & Tax audit Income tax return filing date be extended to 31.3.2021.
Extension of due date of VIVAD SE VISHWAS (VSV) to 31.01.2021 from existing date 31.12.2020
As statutorily, it may not be possible to have same due dates to file ITR and TAR, then suitable amendment may be made in section 139 for the same.
Further, all the other due dates of compliances under Income-tax Act, 1961 (TDS/TCS/ Section 11(1A)/54/54F/Advance tax payments etc.) be suitably extended to enable assesses to meet such deadlines
We hope that our suggestions would be favorably considered.
With Warin Regards

अगर इतनी सर्दी न होती तो ऑडिट का कार्य पूर्ण हो जाता विगत वर्षो में ऑडिट का कार्य शीतकालीन सत्र से पहले निपट जाता था इस बार कोरोना की वजह से ऑडिट का कार्य देरी से शुरू हुआ इस लिए वर्तमान में सरकार उचित समय अवधि प्रदान करे धन्यवाद
dear madam kindly extend the date, yesterday in my car so many things stolen because of night work, around so many robbery started if we sit fear of these robbers, clients dont want to take risk., because of news of robbery. At the same time police also forcing us to close by 10.00pm, please extend the date by tomorow madam humble request.
Many C A, students, accountants are under the grip of karona . 19, pl consider, they are going under depression
SIR/MADAM, IT IS A GEUNINE AND REASONABLE NEED OF THE HOUR TO ANNOUNCE EXTENSION OF TAX AUDIT DUE DATE AND DUE DATE FOR NON AUDIT RETURNS BECAUSE THIS YEAR PROFESSIONALS ARE EXTREMELY FEELING SHORTAGE OF TIME BECAUSE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS NOT WELL PREPARED FOR TAX AUDITS BECAUSE OF CORONE. THIS PANDEMIC HAS INCREASED WORRIES OF PEOPLE IN GENERAL WHICH HAVE OVERPOWERED THEM THAN WORRY RELATED TO SUBMISSION OF TAX AUDIT REPORT OR ITR IN NON AUDIT CASE. PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE NOT DEVOTING TIME TO THIS ASPECT. WE PROFESSIONALS OUTPUT IS DEPENDENT ON INPUT OF BUSINESS COMMUNITY. SO IT IS IN NATIONAL INTEREST TO ANNOUNCE EXTENSION AS REQUESTED IN RPRESENTATION. KINDLY DO ANNOUNCE. IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE AND OUR NATION IS GOING TO BE BENEFITTED IF WE PEOPLE DO PREPARE REPORTS WITH RELAXED BRAIN. BRAIN GETS TENSE WHEN IT IS SEEN THAT LAST DATE IS APPROACHING FAST
Date must be extended as per request
RESPECTED FM-GOVT PL PL LISTEN TO OUR PAINS –15 REPRESENTATIONS EACH DAY DELAY-FEAR -ANXIETY -DISTRESS -TENSION -ANNOUNCE TODAY-TOMORROW IS TOO LATE
