New Delhi: The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on Wednesday (July 29) extended the last date for filing belated Income Tax Return (ITR) for the financial year 2018-19 (AY2019-20). The date has been extended from July 31 to September 30, 2020.
The extension will reduce the hardship of taxpayers, said experts, amid challenges faced by taxpayers in meeting the statutory and regulatory compliance requirements across sectors due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
Prior to this, the government had extended the deadline to file the belated income tax return (ITR) for FY 2018-19 twice. First, from the original deadline of March 31, 2020, to June 30, 2020, and then to July 31, 2020.
It is worth mentioning here is that if an individual does not file the belated ITR, if due, by the deadline (i.e., Sept 30, 2020), then he/she will not be able to file the income tax return for the financial year 2018-19.
