Malda Traders Request Income Tax Return Filing Extension
The Malda traders are asking for more time to file their income tax returns.
They want the deadline moved to November 30, 2025, instead of the original date.
This is because parts of Bengal are experiencing floods, and there are many religious festivals in October, which make it difficult to do paperwork and tax payments on time.
Plus, the online tax filing system has had some problems.
The traders hope the government will agree to give them more time.
MMCCI has requested an extension for income tax return filing.
The request is for the Assessment Year 2025-26.
Reasons cited include floods, religious festivals, and technical difficulties.
MMCCI seeks to extend the deadline to November 30, 2025.
The request aims to support MSME entrepreneurs and traders.
