Kindly read this
Due dates for issue of notice, intimation, notification, approval order, sanction order, filing of appeal, furnishing of return, statements, applications, reports, any other documents and time limit for completion of proceedings by the authority AND any compliance by the taxpayer including investment in saving instruments or investments for roll over benefit of capital gains under Income Tax Act, Wealth Tax Act, Prohibition of Benami Property Transaction Act, Black Money Act, STT law, CTT Law, Equalization Levy law, Vivad Se Vishwas law where the time limit is expiring between 20th March 2020 to 29th June 2020 shall be extended to 30th June 2020.
I interpret that Due date is for issue of notice etc only.
Then it is said "AND any compliance by the taxpayer including investment in saving instruments "
So I beleive there is no due date applicable for investment in saving instrument.
If we go by your analysis, we even cannot invest in PPF after 31st March as there is no due date for investment in PPF,
We hould wait till exact notification is issued for clarification
