Today we discuss on Extension of Due Date of Filling Income tax Return. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on 10th June, 2015 by official notification extends the due date of filling return for financial year 2014-15 (Assessment Year 2015-16). As per notification the assesse which are required to file their Income tax return on or before 31st July, 2015 can file their Income tax return up to 31st Aug, 2015.
The reason behind extension of due date of filling of return is the introduction of new form of ITR for Income tax return purpose. In new form of ITRs many changes have been done. As Government of India wants to tax all the black money, for this purpose ministry have included many details relating to foreign assets, travellingetc. Ministry also tries to link Aadhar Card no. with PAN no. If an Aadhar card no. is linked with ITR then there is no need to send the ITR acknowledgement to Income Tax, Bengaluru.
