i totally agree with aditya, thank you. Also section 92F defines specified date to mean as due date as per explanation 2 to section 139(1)& Section 44AB due date is provided in 44AB itself.
But my dear friends, as per the extract from notification "due date of filing of returns of income for the Assessment Year 2010-11 from 30.09.2010 to 15th October 2010. Accordingly the due date for Tax Audit report u/s. 44AB of the Income Tax Act is also extended to 15th October, 2010." what i understand is they have extended the date specified under explanation 2 to section 139(1) & because of that sec 44AB date is also extended. if same is true than the TP due date is also extended...>>>
One more interesting observation made my one of my professional lawyer friend (Kirthi Bhansali) is date the refernce number to the notification"F.No. 225/72/2010-ITA.II" is same as that of notification for extension of due date in J&K. Also the official website of incometaxindia.gov.in is not highlighting the extension of due date to others but only to J&K, just to add to more confusion

I have read the notification again and it says
The Central Board of Direct Taxes have extended the due date of filing income tax returns for the assessment year 2010-11 from 30th September 2010 up to 15th October 2010. The due date has been extended in view of disturbance to general life caused by floods. Accordingly, the due date for obtaining tax audit report u/s 44AB also stands extended to 15th October 2010.
The due date of 30th September 2010 is prescribed for corporate taxpayers, taxpayers whose accounts are subject to tax audit u/s 44AB of the Income Tax Act 1961 or audit under any other law, and working partners of firm the accounts of which are liable to tax audit or audit under any other law.
So it seems that transfer pricing audit due date has also been extended to 15th October as it is also subject to due date of 30th September, 2010.
