Department of Revenue
Central Board of Direct Taxes

New Delhi the 3rd June 2010
PRESS RELEASE
 
   The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) have directed the Income  Tax Department (ITD) to make arrangements for receiving income tax  returns on 31st July 2010, the due date for filing tax returns by  most taxpayers, as that day happens to be a Saturday. ITD has also been  asked to make special arrangements by setting up additional counters from 28th  July to 31st July 2010, to facilitate taxpayers in filing their  income tax returns.

    In Delhi, special counters will be set up in Pragati Maidan, as in  earlier years, to receive about 5 lakh income tax returns that are filed in  the last few days. 
   
   The Chief Commissioner of Income Tax, Delhi, will  later announce the details of the special arrangements made for the  taxpayers of Delhi. Counters will be opened to give additional and  value-added services such as free return forms, photocopy, PAN application  and information, e- filing, help desk, etc. Separate counters will also be  opened for senior citizens and ladies, wherever required.

   Similarly, special arrangements will be made in other major tax- collecting  centers of the ITD such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai, Chandigarh,  Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, etc. The respective Chief Commissioners of Income Tax  will announce details of arrangements made in these cities.

    Taxpayers are advised to file their income tax returns early to avoid the  last minute rush. Taxpayers are also requested to use the e-filing facility  of the Income Tax department to get faster and error-free services. It is  easy, secure and can be availed of from anywhere anytime. E-filing service  is available on the website https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/index.jsp

    The Income Tax Rules have been recently amended to include Receipt Number on  the TDS certificates as a mandatory field. It is clarified that Receipt  Number will not be required for the income tax returns to be filed this year  (assessment year 2010-11), but only from next year. Tax deductors are,  however, requested to quote Receipt Number of the TDS return for all tax  deducted from this financial year.
