By this, it is sure that the department will not grant any further relaxation to the income tax returns due date. Last day, the Government has extended the due date for assessees in Kerala following the State witnessed the worst natural disaster in almost a century.
According to an advisory issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), a delay in filing return would result in payment of late fees. For returns filed between 1st September to 31st December 2018, a late fee of Rs. 5000/-.
