Explanation 2 of Sec. 139(1) deals with the due date for filing of return of income. Relevant Extract has been reproduced herein below:
In this sub-section, "due date" means,—
(a) where the assessee other than an assessee referred to in clause (aa) is—
(i) a company; or
(ii) a person (other than a company) whose accounts are required to be audited under this Act or under any other law for the time being in force; or
(iii) a working partner of a firm whose accounts are required to be audited under this Act or under any other law for the time being in force,
