After the March 2022 deadline for filing Income Tax returns, Pan-Aadhaar linking final date was extended to March 2022
The central government has extended the deadlines for PAN-Aadhaar link extension as a significant relief to those affected by the covid 19 pandemic. It increased the last date for filing income tax, but this was not enough. “In light of the hardships faced by taxpayers, we have extended certain timelines,” stated the Central Board of Direct Taxes in a statement late Friday.
The deadline for linking PAN and biometric ID Aadhaar was extended six months to March 2022. The deadline was set earlier, on September 30, 2021.
It stated that the time limit for intimation by Aadhaar number at the Income tax Department to link PAN and Aadhaar was extended from 30 September 2021 to 31 March 2022.
The I-T Act penalty proceedings have been extended to September 30, 2021, and March 31, 2022.
The Adjudicating Authority has extended the deadline for notifying and issuing an order under the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act 1988 to March 2022.
In view of the coronavirus pandemic, technical issues with the new IT website, and the extension of the deadline to file Income Tax returns until December 31, the government extended the deadline on September 9th.
