at 6:29 pm

New Delhi (NVI): With internet services remaining suspended in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has further extended the due date of filing of Income Tax Returns and Tax Audit Reports there to January 31, 2020.

The relaxation of date will be applicable to all categories of assessees in J&K and Ladakh, who were required to file ITRs/TARs, a CBDT statement said.

It said the due date was being further extended “on consideration of reports of disturbances in internet facility in certain areas of Jammu and Kashmir”.

The extension of due date comes as internet services continue to remain suspended in J&K and most of Ladakh since August 4, when the Centre moved to revoke the special status of erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir granted under Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcated it into two Union Territories.
