The month of September is half the passage and the only question in the minds of those who fill the Income Tax Return (ITR) – will the last date move forward? Last date to file ITR 15 September And as this day is getting closer, people’s tension is also increasing.
But this time this tension is not only of the last date, but also that people have been in using the new income tax portal.
Why is there a demand to increase the date?
Ever since the new e-filing portal has been launched this year, it has remained a headache for taxpayers and tax advisors. People have faced many technical problems, such as:
- The website does not slow down or open repeatedly.
- Difficulty in logging in.
- Not being able to download the required form.
- Not submit after filling information.
For all these reasons, many people have not been able to file their ITRs on time even after wishing.
What do experts say?
Many tax experts and chartered accountants (CAS) believe that the government should understand these problems of the people. They argue that when the mistake is not of taxpayer, but of the system, then why does the common man bear the brunt of it? Therefore, the demand is gaining momentum that the CBDT (Central Direct Tax Board) should extend the last date to file ITR for at least one or two months, so that people can get full opportunity to fill their returns without any halting.
What should you do now?
However, there is both hope and demand to increase the date, but at present there is no official statement from the government.
Therefore, our advice will be that you do not wait for the last day at all. As it is, by trying 15 September Before you file your ITR, so that the last minute runaway and possible penalty can be avoided.
