    Government of India Ministry of Finance Department of Revenue Central Board of Direct Taxes
    PRESS RELEASE
    Subject: Extension of date for filing of Income tax returns and tax audit reports to 31st October 2015 – regarding
    The issue of extension of last date for e-filing returns of income and audit reports u/s 44AB due by 30th September, 2015 has been the subject matter of litigation in various High Courts across the country. While some High Courts have ruled in favour of the extension of due date, some others have ruled otherwise. In order to avoid discrimination between taxpayers residing in different jurisdictions and to be fair to all, and also in view of paucity of time to approach the Hon’ble Supreme Court by way of Special Leave Petition, the Government has decided that across the country, all the returns of income and audit reports u/s 44AB which were due for e-filing by 30th September, 2015, may now be filed by 31st October, 2015.
    Necessary order u/s 119 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 has been issued by CBDT in this regard.

  2. mukesh says:

    TO PM FM CBDT and ALL those who contested the matter in various High Courts ~ Thank you for the extention ~ at last there is solidarity prevailing in democracy ~ this is the time to be of mutual help to each other and look after all as one and not to discriminate. When you walk together you grow. There is always a way of dialogure rather than conflict. It is a GIFT to Tax Payers on the Occasssion of Gandhi jayanti. Dear Friends, start cracking no more extentions ……………… ha ha ha LOVE YOU ALL.

  3. Karthik says:

    Thanks a ton to Tax Guru for all professional help and support. Finally achieved what seemed impossible. CBDT should learn not to act childish and should take into consideration the plea of professionals.

  4. VP Shastri says:

    As I said yesterday, now extension of time on all India basis CBDT is humiliated with no limits & bounds. Its members have eggs all over their faces

  5. NAVIN KUMAR RANCHI says:

    Its really tough to understand the decision taken by the CBDT. Actually we were fighting for all. What are the basis of this discrimination is beyond my comprehension. Still hoping for extension for all.

  6. CA SANDIP says:

    By extending only in 2-3 states, CBDT exactly doing what the British Government was done at the time of leaving our country i.e. divide and rule……..2 days back we all are asking for whetger date has been extwnd or not for PAN India but now CA of maharashtra asking for extention in maharashtra, CA of West Bengal asking fir whether date has been extend in bengal or not…….basucally they divide our unity by dividing the state wise extention………..In my opinion we should unite ourselves and put pressure through media……

  7. HARIPRASAD G says:

    Now 30th september dead line is over. CBDT has shown sectarianism.Of course,SC may come to rescue of auditors and may extend the date to all states.Problem will continue in future also, the reasons are 1. procrastination( human nature to postpone) by clients & also by auditors.Sometimes ,even assessees have to depend on others to collect information,evidences etc.2.And Auditors will be busy upto 31st july with non audit cases and also with other work and we will hardly have 2 months time and 3.definitely CBDT is going to increase our work by making some amendments in Form 3CD TO EASE their assessment work.And so to have a normal peaceful life during specially September,i suggest the following
    1.Those who have to get their accounts audited have to submit their UNAUDITED financial statements to the CPC by 31st May.
    Advantages 1.Then we can only comment on financial statements without any accounting work 2.This will make auditees to maintain accounts on day to day basis 3.And they may even engage professionals as internal auditors to keep the accounts ready by May and with all documentary evidences 4.Auditees will engage permanent accountants instead of part time accountants 5.And as auditors ,we can only comment and we will have INDEPENDENCE to some extent.

    And to have REAL INDEPENDENCE ,auditees should not have freedom to get his accounts audited by auditor of HIS CHOICE.ICAI / deptt may allot audits to CAs.
    Appointing authority and paying of audit fee should not be with auditee.

    If the above is not possible, the business community along with CA s should make efforts to amend penal provision to, say Rs.500/- per day of delay instead existing provision of Rs.50,000/- to 1.5 lakhs.

    If the above amendment is also not possible,
    SCRAP sec 44AB and this will really help us to live peacefully.And money will never give happiness and money at the cost of health,respect,happiness is not at all important.

    Let us all try to have changes in audit rules and live peacefully for next year and thereafter.Remember courts may not come to our help every year and client may ask us to pay penalty if TAR and return is not filed by due date.

    Remember PEACE OF MIND,HEALTH,RESPECT,INDEPENDENCE etc are more IMPORTANT.

  8. Ramesh Thakur says:

    CBDT’S activity or movement about tax audit matter is 100% correct. Why CBDT extend the TAR due date? It is very much necessary to include other Professional (CMA’S & CS’S) in the ambit of Accountant definition of income tax Act 1961 and stop the monoply and dadagiri of Chartered Accountants.

  9. sunil bhatia says:

    Do we need ICAI? WE SHOULD ICAI ELECTIONS AND MUST UNITE TO LOOK INTO LEGAL REMEDIES AGAINST CBDT ORDER. I AM READY TO CONTRIBUTE AND MUST HIRE SOME GOOD LAWYER TO REPRESENT OUR AND SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON THESE SPINELESS ICAI TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS AND MUST FIGHT UNITEDLY AGAINST THIS DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY OF THE GOVT AND ICAI.

  10. ABHISHEK RAI says:

    Dear All

    It’s now all over for CBDT. They have done away with all they could have done. Please make sure that CBDT pays for its sins

  11. azhar and co says:

    for god sake please stop this political game of our a developing country this orders of courts clearly indicate the two faces of the indian government whether the due dated extended states in which the current government is ruling has already paid the tax dues or the not extended states are treated as far behind from them why this step mother treatment from CBDT and the indian government. all the states are the parts of India only but why there is so much of difference of opinion while making such a crucial decision or the due the not extended states are far behind the from paying the due of taxes we are all indian first and have equal right to fight for our rights AND ALSO WHAT IS USE OF EXTENSION after so much of hardwork and dedication by the members of the accounting community this shows a huge question mark on the ability of the both government and its associate agencies??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  12. Jitendra Bhanushali says:

    1.CBDT should approach Supreme Court and obtain Stay on all extensions to prove that we all Indians are equal, irrespective of the state we are living. One state getting extension and other is not getting its not right.Jo sabka Hoga dekha jayega. Atlest sab state saath me to rahenge.

    2.Scrap section 44AB on immediate basis.

    3.Scrap ICAI also, whats the use, if they dont have any saying about their members.

    4. Pass a strict law by Parliament that CBDT will be supreme Authority above all, even High Courts can not give them orders.

  13. LAKSH MALIK says:

    SHAME ON CBDT TO BE SO ARROGANT ON EXTENDING THE DATE TO 31ST OCT AND THAT TOO FOR STATES WHOSE HC DECIDED WRIT UNDER ARTICLE 226 IN FAVOUR OF THE TAX PAYERS AND ON WARNING THAT THIS ORDER OF EXTENSION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO OUTCOME OF SLP/APPEAL WHICH CBDT MAY FILE. ARTICLE 226 WRIT ON PUBLIC ISSUE AND ON EXERCISE OF UNDUE POWER BY ADMINISTRATIVE BODY ON PUBLIC IS GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO WHOLE COUNTRY. SEE THE ARROGANCY OF CBDT THAT IT DIVIDED THE NATION ON DUE DATE OF CENTRAL ACT.WHEN THE ISSUE IS OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE, THE ADMINISTRATIVE BODIES ALSO BOW TO PUBLIC CAUSE. BUT LOOK AT THE ATTITUDE OF CBDT THAT INSPITE OF INSTRUCTIONS/DIRECTIONS BY FIVE HIGH COURT IN FAVOUR OF PUBLIC, THEY ARE SHOWING DICTATORSHIP LIKE ATTITUDE AS IF THIS COUNTRY IS NOT DEMOCRATIC, AS IF THIS COUNTRY DONT RESPECT JUDICIARY AND AS IF THE PRIME AIM OF GOVT. IS NOT WELFARE OF SOCIETY WHICH IS ALSO THE PREAMBLE OF OUR CONSTITUTION. NOW CAN SUPREME COURT REACT SUO MOTO ON PLIGHT OF TAX PAYERS AND ISSUE DIRECTIONS UNDER ARTICLE 32 OF INDIAN CONSTITUTION AGAINST THE ORDER OF CBDT. THERE IS CLEAR CUT INFRINGEMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF PEOPLE OF COUNTRY. MOREOVER ARTICLE 14 OF CONSTITUTION WHICH SPEAKS ABOUT EQUALITY OF LAW DOES THIS ORDER OF CBDT RENDERS EQUALITY AMONGST TAX PAYERS. SO, EITHER SC COURT SUO MOTTO OR PEOPLE OF INDIA MOVE TO SC UNDER ARTICLE 32 FOR INFRINGEMENT OF THEIR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF EQUALITY OF LAW WHICH THIS ORDER OF CBDT DOES NOT RENDER.

  14. SANKET GANDHI says:

    Hi guys
    Koi tau batao kya bole CBDT Chief
    they are following the order of the all high courts order or not
    PLease next year not give the extension but give the forms on time i.e. before may end

    regards

  15. kssunder says:

    Their should be an immediate inquiry about the conduct of the CBDT chief.CBDT chief has openly committed contempt of court.The chief should be now subjected to desciplinary action and pending enquiry should be suspended.Foreign investors will be scared.
    PMs committments to international community has been
    Thrashed by this inept CBDT chairman

  16. Sadique Aden says:

    This has become history in the era of modernization where people have to Run for extention date but our Income Tax Authority were so cruel that they even not approve the Karnataka High Court order , this show that they are above the law , I wonder why we have appointed minister for different post , give this board every authority to Run the Country
