26 July 2017 Sir,
A is a retiring partner in ABC Firm, subject to Tax Audit. A, who was working partner, retiring w.e.f. 01 April 2016 through retirement deed dated 10 Jul 2016, with clause of settlement of accounts within 3 months. In facts his accounts could not been settled by 31 March 2017 and settled in Jul 2017. In this case which will be the due date of filing of ITR by A ? Whether it will be 31st Jul 2017 or 30th Sept 2017.
Regards.

26 July 2017 Due date is 31-7-2017 since A is not a working partner in financial year 2016-17 since retired on 1-4-2016.

26 July 2017 If "settling of accounts" is independent of "retirement date", then 31/07/2017 would be ITR filing date.
If the wording of retirement deed is somewhat on these lines viz.....A shall retire with effect from 01/04/2016 OR the date on which A's account in the firm is settled by the ongoing partners, whichever is later......then 30/09/2017 would be ITR filing date
