PRESS RELEASE
Extension of date for filing of Income Tax
Returns
There are some complaints
that the taxpayers are not being able to log on to the e-filing website of
Income Tax Department or not being able to link Aadhaar with PAN because of
different names reflected in PAN and Aadhaar database. While technical snags
have been removed already, the main reason for failure of people to log in is
because of last minute rush and panic in which those who have already logged in
want to continue for the entire period for fear of losing it. In order to ease
out the panic situation, the Government has decided to take the following
steps:
1. For the purpose of
e-filing return, it would be sufficient as of now to quote Aadhaar or
acknowledgement No. for having applied for Aadhaar in e-filing website. The
actual linking of PAN with Aadhaar can be done subsequently, but any time
before 31st August, 2017. However, the returns will not be processed until the
linkage of Aadhaar with PAN is 2. In order to facilitate the e-filing of
return, it is also decided to give extension of five days for e-filing of
return. The return can be filed upto 5th August, 2017.
