Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the due date for filing of
Income Tax Returns from July 31, 2018, to August 31, 2018, for certain
categories of taxpayers.
The Central Board of
Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the due date for filing of Income Tax Returns
to August 31, 2018, for categories of taxpayers who were to file their returns
by July 31.
The decision comes
days ahead of the July 31 deadline, which several groups had requested the
government to push to later.
CBDT had notified the
new income tax return forms for assessment year 2018-19 on April 5. Experts
said the introduction of new forms was leading to delays in filing of returns.
Further, the CBDT had
said non-filing of ITR before the due date from this assessment year would lead
to a penalty of Rs 1,000, 5,000 and Rs 10,000, depending on when the returns
were filed after the deadline. The fine for taxpayers having income under Rs 5
lakh remained at Rs 1,000.

unclear in choosing the appropriate ITR for disclosing your income earned
during the previous year, here’s a quick guide on the various ITR forms.
