A fresh breath has been pumped in to the heart of Tax payers who were facing difficulty in filing their return online or have not yet filed their returns, as the government on Wednesday extended the last date for ITR filing for 2013 of income tax returns by five days to August 5, 2013
The due date, which was today i.e. July 31st, 2013, has been extended in wake of “unprecedented surge” in number of IT returns being filed electronically. This year till date, 94 lakh returns have been filed online which is way above the figures of last year.
“As a measure of taxpayers convenience, it has been decided to extend the due date of filing of returns from July 31, 2013 to August 5, 2013,” the finance ministry said.
