FAQ :

The notification concerns the relaxation and extension of the timeline for compounding offences under Direct Tax Laws, as a one-time measure.

The original deadline for filing applications for compounding of offences under the Income-tax Act, 1961, was 31st December 2019.

The timeline has been extended because the CBDT received references indicating that taxpayers could not avail the initial one-time relaxation due to genuine hardships.

Taxpayers who faced genuine hardships and could not avail the initial one-time relaxation window for compounding offences can benefit from this extension.

No, this is described as a 'one-time measure' and an 'extension of timeline'.
