Very true sir…let us see when good sense will prevail upon the babus..
As per notification only the date for obtaining and furnishing the audit report is extended and not the due date of income tax return.
It is strange to note that u/s 44AB reference is made to the due date of return as per section 139(1).
By notification they extended the due date of obtaining and furnishing of the audit report with specific reference to date whereas no specific due date was referred in the section 44AB. In such circumstances what is means by extension of due date of obtaining and furnishing of tax audit report.
It is just a joke with the professionals by the tax administrators.
