Sunday evening, suddenly emails and what-apps were flooded with messages of which most spoke in respect of one Income Tax order in which it
is claimed that due date for Income Tax Return has been extended to 15th
October 2015 from current 30th September 2015.
We checked the Notification for
its authenticity and found that the same cannot be relied for the following
reasons :-
- We confirmed with CBDT officials and they denied issue of any such Notifications.
- We checked the official Websites of Income Tax, Government of India and Finance ministry and have not found any such notification, Order or announcement.
- Income Tax Press release starts with F. No. while in this order it started with PF N0.
- In Address of ICAI Pin code is 110001 instead of 110003.
- Income Tax Office is in North Block not West Block.
- Income Tax Department do not have ITEN division. Normally such announcement comes from TPL Division or ITA.II Division.
- Its been issued on Saturday -26.09.2015 a day when CBDT offices were closed.
- At the top date is 26.09.2015 but in signature the date is mentioned as 26/05/2015.
- In Subject orders mentions extension of date of ITR but in body the Notification discussed about section 44AB related to Tax Audit.
- Due dates for Tax Audit Returns is been specified under section 139(1) not under Section 44AB.
Order which is doing rounds on
Social media is as follows :-
We request our readers to not to rely on any such
notification unless they confirm the same with official website of Government
of India or they may check our website where we will update them if any such
announcement comes -
