Income Tax Return Update: This year the last date for filing ITR is 31st July. There are still three days left for the date of 31st July to end. Therefore, taxpayers who have not yet filed their returns should file their returns now.
Income Tax Return Filing: There is no point in waiting for the extension of the due date for filing Income Tax Return for AY 2023-24. A record number of taxpayers have already filed their returns for the assessment year 2023-24 (FY 2022-23) and the government has also clarified in recent weeks that it will file returns for those taxpayers before the due date i.e. 31st July. Not considering extension whose accounts are closed or not required to be audited.
