The Tamil Nadu BJP Professional Cell has formally requested a one-time extension for the tax audit deadline for Assessment Year 2026-27. They are asking for the due date to be moved from September 30, 2026, to October 31, 2026. This request, submitted to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and the CBDT, is primarily due to the increased complexity of disclosures required for MSMEs and GST compliance, which necessitates more time for reconciliation and verification.
