India Today
Scores of panicked taxpayers have requested the Income Tax Department to extend the December 31, 2021 due date for filing ITR. Will the tax department provide relief?
It’s that time of the year when there is a rush among individuals to file their income tax returns (ITR). With just a couple of days left before the tax filing due date ends on December 31, 2021, there has been a surge in ITR filings as taxpayers look to avoid penalties.
But a large section of general category taxpayers are facing difficulties in filing their ITR, claiming that glitches are still present on the new income tax filing portal. A wave of taxpayers have voiced their concerns on social media platforms like Twitter and requested the government to extend the due date for ITR filing (FY2020-21 or AY2021-22).
