New Delhi: The government on Friday extended the last date for filing income-tax return to August 5 due to bank strike and disturbances in Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier, the last date of filing of return was July 31.
As far as Jammu and Kashmir is concerned that the last date has been extended to August 31. “In view of today’s bank strike and disturbance in J&K, the due date of IT return filing is being extended. For assessees across India, deadline is extended up to August 5,” said revenue secretary Dr Hasmukh Adhia.
Meanwhile, a strike by public sector banks’ staff to protest proposed merger of SBI associates with the parent is likely to affect transactions worth Rs 12,000 crore.
