Income Tax Return: ITR filing deadline to get extended due to glitches

According to a report, earlier the last date was supposed to be September 30 and now it seems that the filing of ITR will be extended as the website’s glitches have not been fixed yet.

As the Income Tax website faces glitches, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) is said to have planned to further extend the deadline for filing income tax returns (ITR) for the financial year 2020-21 (AY 2021-22). According to a report, earlier the last date was supposed to be September 30 and now it seems that the filing of ITR will be extended as the website’s glitches have not been fixed yet. Many users reported complaints about the glitches on social media.  The new IT website was unveiled on  June 7 by the Income Tax department to make ITR filing smooth and hassle-free. From pre-filled income tax return forms to quick refunds — the new portal has tons of new features to provide a “modern and seamless experience to taxpayers".
