As Income Tax Return (ITR) last date nears; #extendduedate trends

The Income Tax Return deadline for Assessment Year 2022-2023 is July 31, 2022. While the Government is not planning to extend the due dates, several users on Twitter today urged the Income Tax department to extend due dates immediately.

Union Revenue Secretary Tarun Bajaj on Wednesday said that the Government was not planning to extend ITR due dates this year.

Social media users have complained that the e-filing website was not working properly.

“Rectify difficulties faced in online filing…Last name neither automated nor permitted to enter in ITR-3. Hence online verification & submission of ITR not possible? “Sword of penalty looming large on my head”. What to do?” a user wrote.

Replying to this user’s complaint, the Income Tax department’s official Twitter handle said, “Please share the details of the case (along with PAN & your mobile number) with us at [email protected]. Our team will get in touch with you. We would also request you not to share personal details like PAN on social media to avoid it being misused.”
