Thanks for the info Madhavi.......

Hello,

Its a fake concession,

Due Date of Tax Audit Report has been extended to 30 Nov.

Due Date of ITR is same (30 Sep). 

Ajab .... Gajab.

No Ajab Gajab, dear.

Extension for AR means for ITR too. Because one can't fill the ITR without completing Audit.

Clarification in this regard shall follow shortly, for sure.

Is It sure K P Bhanushaliji??

I agree with Bhanushaliji.

The CBDT order remains unclear on this subject lets hope this is clarified soon.

That also means that CAs should their cancel holiday plans :)

I agree with bhanushaliji. Clarification will come surely
Sir only Audit report date submission extended but Assessment Year 14-15 return uploaded date not be extended ..........
Due date is extended not only for furnishing the report, but alexteso obtaining the same. Return cant be filed before obtaining report. Thus due date for filing of return shall also be extended automatically, as per my opinion.

Yes, Sudhakarji,

Right view.

yes, Due Date for tax audit is extended to 30th Nov,2014 and also for ITR

But it looks like a fake concern attempt by CBDT. Its ridiculous to continue with the same format for AY 2014-15. They should have ideally made it applicable from next year or atleast intimated this change before March 2014.

It still remains the same for those assessees who have international transactions. The due date for them remains the same before and after i..e., 30th Nov.

These steps looks like they are punishing assessees and CAs. Massive wastage of time and resources. Inspite of doing all these changes, there is no guarantee that there would be less harrassment during the assessment.

Its not cleared only audit report furnishing date extended or itr filing date

Dear Friends,

In ITR Form at the General Information page, date of signing audit report and date of furnishing audit report needs to be filled before filing ITR. Then without preparing & submitting AR how one can fill these columns. It seems extention must apply to both ITR & AR. Let us see what others say.

Thanks
