The
CBDT has issued a Press Release stating that the due date for filing of returns
u/s 139(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is extended to August 5, 2013
As
a Measure of Taxpayers Convenience, Last Date of Filing of Returns Extended to
5th August, 2013
There
is an unprecedented surge in number of returns being e-filed during this year.
92.03 lakh returns have been e-filed up to 30th July, 2013 which is 46.8 %
higher than the returns e-filed during the corresponding period of the last
fiscal year.
Due
to large number of taxpayers accessing e-filing website on due date of filing,
some cases of taxpayers not being able to access the e-filing portal have been
reported. These problems are primarily due to network constrains of the local
internet service providers (ISPs).
However,
as a measure of taxpayers convenience, it has been decided to extend the due
date of filing of returns from 31st July, 2013 to 5th August, 2013.
Taxpayers
are requested to avail of this extension of time and file their returns after
paying due taxes.www.finmin.nic.in
