ICAI has requested CBDT to extend the due date of e‐filing of income‐tax returns, tax audit reports and report under section 92E of the Income‐tax Act, 1961
The efforts of the
members in supporting the e‐initiative the
Department requiring e‐filing of almost
all audit reports under the Income‐tax Act, 1961 is
appreciable. ICAI is aware of the numerous issues being faced by the members
with regard to registration, frequent changes in utilities, uploading of balance
sheet and profit and loss and so on. The Direct Taxes Committee of ICAI is
taking up these issues with appropriate authorities from time to time. It has
issued “Frequently Asked Questions” prepared in consultation with the officials
of Directorate of Income tax (Systems) for the guidance of members. Inspite of
these efforts, difficulties are being faced by the members in e‐filing the tax audit reports mainly due to
continuous change in the utilities hosted on the CBDT website. Further, the difficulties
being faced by the members and the assessees in Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand,
Gujarat, Muzaffarnagar and other affected areas of Uttar Pradesh are also known
to ICAI.
Considering the
above factors, a request was extended to Chairperson, CBDT for extension of due
date of filing income tax returns along with tax audit reports by one month
from end of 30th
September, 2013.
ICAI has also sought extension of due date of furnishing the report under
section 92E by one month from the end of 30th November, 2013 for AY 2013‐14.
Even though
matter is being pursued on regular basis, it is desirable that the members
complete their audits on or before 30th September, 2013 so that the assessees
are able to file their income tax returns on time.
