The Central Government has clarified that there will not be any extension for the income tax return filing for the year 2022-23.
“Government not considering extending July 31 deadline for filing income tax returns,” the official twitter handle of the Press Trust of India tweeted today.
On Wednesday, the income tax department has revealed that it has received more than 2 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for AY 2022-23. The last date to file the annual ITR for salaried taxpayers and non-auditable cases is July 31.
“Income Tax e-filing portal has received more than 2 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for AY 2022-23. We urge you to file your ITR at the earliest, if not filed as yet,” the department tweeted via its official twitter handle a few days ago.
With the last date for filing Income Tax Return (ITR) for the current assessment year fast approaching, Finance Ministry officials say they are hopeful of a good number of submissions. The department officials also said that the Income Tax department website for ITR filing (incometaxindia.gov.in) is under review to ensure efficiency in the filing process.
