The last date for filing of Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the financial year 2016-17 will not be extended beyond the July 31 deadline, a top official said on Sunday.
“The last date for filing of ITRs remains July 31. There are no plans to extend this deadline. The department has already received over 2 crore returns filed electronically. The department requests taxpayers to file their return in time,” the official said.
On reports of the e-filing website facing some glitches, the official said that no major glitches have been reported with the department’s e-filing website — http://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/– barring a few times when the portal was “interrupted for maintenance”.
The department has also issued advertisements in leading national dailies in the last few days stating that taxpayers should disclose their “correctly” and file their ITRs on or before July 31.
