Due Date Extended upto 5th August,2013 of filing of Return for Asstt. Year 2013-14

The Central Board of Direct Tax, in exercise of powers conferred under section 119 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, hereby extends the due-date' for filing Returns of Income from 31st July, 2013 to 5th August, 2013 for Asstt. Year 2013-14.

This is the big relief of 5 days to the assessee/taxpayers as there is a big rush for filing income tax return at Income tax department.

There is an unprecedented surge in number of returns being e-filed during this year. Approximate 1.01 crors returns have been filed/e-filed upto 31st July, 2013 which is 47.20% higher than the returns e-filied during the corresponding period of the last fiscal year.  If the extension is to be made, it should be earlier as it can give big relief to the assessee who need to file income tax return.

However, no reason is given for extension but it is a big relief anyway.
