Logic of extending due date after the earlier due date??

Income tax department has today extended the due date of filing of return from 30.09.2015 to 31.10.2015. This has been done after two confirmations for NOT extension of dates on 14.09.2015 and 28.09.2015.

Now, most of the assess would have been filed the return by 30.09.2015 in a hurry (may be with inaccurate  / manipulated data)

This will give advantage only to those person, who was deteremined to file the return after due date OR was 100% for extension of this date.

In fact, either this date should not be extended Or should be extended at least 3-- days before the earlier due date.

I would request caclubindia's  CAs, senior and esteemed members to put your view on the subject.
