Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak| Income Tax Employees Federation seeks to end FY on 30th April


Quick Summary
In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Income Tax Employees Federation and Income Tax Gazetted Officers Association have appealed to the CBDT to propose an ordinance to the Finance Minister. This ordinance would extend the financial year 2019-20 to April 30th, 2020, and commence the new financial year on May 1st, 2020. The organisations cite the high risk to employees due to public transport use and the inability to maintain social distancing in offices as reasons for this request, aiming to protect staff and curb the virus's spread.

FAQ :

The Income Tax Employees Federation has requested that the financial year 2019-20 be extended to end on April 30th, 2020, instead of March 31st, 2020.

The request is a measure to tackle the COVID-19 crisis, aiming to protect Income Tax employees who face risks travelling to and from work and in offices, especially given the widespread use of public transport.

The Federation suggests that an Ordinance be introduced by the Union Cabinet for this purpose.

They are also requesting that Income Tax offices be closed temporarily and that essential supplies like sanitisers, masks, and thermal scanners be provided to employees, along with ensuring effective cleaning and restricting visitor entry.

The request has been made to the Chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
