Order under Section 119 of the Income-tax Act. 1961

CBDT in exercise of power under sec 119(2)(a) of the IT Act, 1961 read with Sec 139 and Rule 12, has decided to relax the requirement of furnishing the Report of Audit electronically as prescribed under the proviso to sub-rule (2) of Rule 12 of the IT Rules for the Assessment Year 2013-14 as under-

(a) The assesses, who are presently finding it difficult to upload the prescribed Reports of Audit (as referred to above) in the system electronically may also furnish the same manually before the jurisdictional Assessing Officer within the prescribed due date.
(b) The said Report of Audit should however be furnished electronically on or before 31.10.2013.

Editor's comment-
"Kindly Read it carefully, extension up to 31.10.2013 is allowed only to upload TAX AUDIT REPORT. ITR is required to be deposited by 30.09.2013 itself (THERE IS NO EXTENSION FOR filing ITR). Further you have to provide paper copy of audit report with ITR, in case you presently finding it difficult to upload the prescribed Reports of Audit."
