GCCI Asks for ITR Filing Deadline Extension
The Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) wants more time to file taxes.
They say it's hard because the online tax tools were late, and the website has problems.
Because of these delays and technical issues, the group asks the government to push back the deadlines for filing taxes and tax audits so people can do it correctly.
GCCI requests extension for ITR filing and tax audit deadlines to CBDT.
The chamber cites delays in releasing ITR utilities as the primary reason.
ITR utilities were available later than usual, shortening the compliance window.
Technical issues on the e-filing portal are also impacting filing procedures.
GCCI recommends extending deadlines to provide relief for taxpayers and professionals.
