The NDA Government on Thursday Oct 01,2015 extended the deadline for e-filing of income returns and audit reports for a special category of taxpayers, assessed under section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, by a month to October 31, 2015.

The earlier deadline was September 30, 2015.

“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 Supreme Court by way of Special Leave Petition, government has decided that across the country all returns of income and audit reports under section 44AB which were due for e-filing by September 30, 2015, may now be filed by October 31, 2015,” the CBDT said in a order issued on Thursday Oct 01,2015
