Income tax return last date: The due date for assessees to file their ITRs has been extended by a month
In a major relief to the taxpayers, the Income Tax Department has extended the deadline for filing income tax return (ITR) by individuals for financial year 2018-19 by a month till August 31. The revised due date is applicable to all taxpayers who were liable to file their tax returns by July 31, the original due date. The extension comes after the government was appealed by many entities to extend the income tax return (ITR) filing date so as to allow sufficient time to assessees to file their returns.
