CBDT extends ITRs filing deadline for J&K, Ladakh

New Delhi, December 24

The CBDT on Tuesday again extended the deadline for filing of all kinds of income tax returns to January 31, 2020, in the newly-created UTs of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

The policy-making body for the Income-Tax department issued an order relaxing the earlier set deadline of November 30 “on consideration of reports of disturbances in internet facility in certain areas of J&K”.

On October 31, the CBDT had extended the deadline to November 30. Before this, the deadline for filing all I-T returns was August end.

This tax filing deadline is for filing of ITRs by certain categories of taxpayers, like individuals, professionals with an annual turn over Rs 50 lakh, businesses with an annual turnover of Rs 1 crore and some other category of taxpayers. The CBDT order also said the returns filed by taxpayers, post the earlier set deadline of November 30, will also be considered valid. — PTI
