Karniti -Dear Vighnaharta .., what should be first…, Income tax return or Tax Audit report? Please remove the Vighna (Complications). Arjuna (Fictional Character): Krishna, the festival of Lord of Wisdom Shri Ganesha is being celebrated with Joy all over India, but the Income Tax payers under Tax audit are facing the obstacles in their Joy. As per Income Tax Departments recent circular, the due date of income tax return is 30th September 2014, but the extended due date of Tax Audit report filing is 30th November 2014. What mess is going on? Please explain in detail.
As you are aware CBDT vide order no. F.No. 133/24/2014-TPL dt. 20.08.2014 issued order thereby exercising power conferred u/s 119 of the Income Tax Act for extending the due date for obtaining and furnishing of report of audit u/s 44AB of the Act for the Assessment Year 2014-15. In the absence of any reference to section 139 of the Act in that order, a vacuum was created which in turn leads to ambiguity and confusion among the assesses and professionals with respect to the due date for filing of return of income.
It has been brought to the notice of the Board that some of the officers are issuing notices to the taxpayers/witnesses/representatives etc. indicating a standard time of appointment. Thus, many persons called for hearing etc. on a day by an officer are given the same time for appearance. Naturally the persons are made to wait for their turn. Such actions, apart from causing avoidable inconvenience to the taxpayers/witnesses/representatives etc. cause great embarrassment to the Government.
CBDT hereby extends the due date for obtaining and furnishing of the report of audit under section 44AB of the Act for Assessment Year 2014-15 in case of assessees who are not required to furnish report under section 92E of the Act from 30th day of September, 2014 to 30th November, 2014.
ORDER NO. 127 OF 2014 The president is pleased to appoint the following officers of India Revenue Service (Income Tax) to the grade of Joint Commissioner of Income Tax purely on Ad-hoc basis in the P8-3 Rs. 15,600-39,100 with GP Rs.7,6001- with effect from assumption of charge for a period not exceeding one year.
