Delhi High Court Delays Tax Audit Extension Hearing
The Delhi High Court is delaying a decision on whether to extend the deadline for filing tax audit reports.
This is because the government needs more time to consider decisions from other courts that have already extended the deadline.
Tax professionals have requested the extension due to various challenges.
The ICAI also raised concerns about technical issues.
Until a nationwide ruling is issued, taxpayers must follow existing deadlines.
Delhi High Court postponed hearing on tax audit extension request.
CBDT needs time to consider recent rulings from other High Courts extending deadlines.
Multiple petitions seek to extend the Tax Audit Report (TAR) deadline.
ICAI highlighted filing challenges faced by taxpayers and professionals.
Current court orders only apply to individual cases until a nationwide notification is released.
