There are rumours that there might be 7 days extension but trust me 7 Days extension is as good as no extension

My very very humble request to @FinMinIndia to kindly extend the deadline atleast till 31st Oct 2026

Extension is need of the hour !!

[CA Jay Soni @CAJaySoni2]

अहंकार अंततः पतन का मार्ग बनता है। 🙏🏻

जब देशभर के Tax Professionals और Taxpayers genuine hardship बता रहे हैं, तब उनकी उचित मांग को नजरअंदाज करना उचित नहीं है।

Due Date Extension कोई favour नहीं, बल्कि genuine necessity है।

Please hear the voice of professionals and taxpayers.

📑 What's behind the request?

The representation highlights the growing compliance workload, including enhanced MSME disclosures and GST-related reconciliation and verification.

The additional time is being sought to complete audits and disclosures accurately.

MP of Parliament & working president of one of the biggest parties understand the need for #ExtendTaxAuditDate

But ICAI and our elected representatives have not represented to the FM

We are living in wonderful times!

[CAclubindia @CAclubindia]

If not today, tomorrow's hearing before the Rajasthan HC may bring clarity on the tax audit due date extension. Until then, fingers crossed. 🤞

Dear @narendramodi Ji
Around 60 organisation wrote to @IncomeTaxIndia and @nsitharaman for extension of tax audit due date from 30 sep to 31 Oct.
Even 50% work has not been completed till date.
This happened because of shifting due date of Non audit ITR.
Kindly take note of this many taxpayers and tax professionals are suffering
I am tagging @realDonaldTrump for his attention to this matter

[CA Chirag Chauhan @CAChirag]

Income Tax portal is slow

UDIN not working

Bank have off from tomorrow onwards

राष्ट्रवादी टॅक्स प्रॅक्टिशनर सेल शरदचंद्र पवार पक्षाचे महाराष्ट्र राज्यप्रमुख श्री. नागेश साळुंखे यांनी करदाते व Tax Professionals यांना भेडसावणाऱ्या अडचणींबाबत भेट घेऊन निवेदन दिले. आयकर विवरणपत्रांसाठी 31 जुलै आणि 31ऑगस्ट या अंतिम मुदतीनंतर कर लेखापरीक्षणासाठी 30 सप्टेंबरची मुदत अपुरी पडत असल्याचे निवेदनात नमूद करण्यात आले आहे.

कर निर्धारण वर्ष २०२६-२७ साठी कर लेखापरीक्षण अहवाल सादर करण्याची अंतिम मुदत ३० सप्टेंबर आहे. जीएसटी आणि टीडीएसशी संबंधित कामांचा ताण, प्राप्तिकर पोर्टलवरील तांत्रिक अडचणी, नुकतेच झालेले सण आणि २८ ते ३० सप्टेंबरदरम्यान प्रस्तावित देशव्यापी बँक संप यांमुळे सनदी लेखापाल, कर सल्लागार आणि करदात्यांना काम पूर्ण करताना अडचणी येत आहेत.

लेखापरीक्षणाचे काम अचूक आणि परिपूर्ण व्हावे, यासाठी अहवाल सादर करण्याची मुदत वाढवण्याची मागणी होत आहे.

केंद्रीय अर्थमंत्री मा. निर्मला सीतारामन जी यांनी या व्यावहारिक अडचणींचा सहानुभूतीपूर्वक विचार करून कर लेखापरीक्षण अहवाल सादर करण्याची तसेच संबंधित प्राप्तिकर विवरणपत्रे भरण्याची मुदत वाढवावी, ही विनंती. यामुळे करदात्यांना मोठा दिलासा मिळेल.

I received a representation from Shri Nagesh Salunkhe, State Head of the @NCPspeaks Tax Practitioners Cell, Maharashtra, highlighting the difficulties faced by taxpayers and tax professionals in completing tax audits within the current deadline. With the income tax return deadlines of 31 July and 31 August having already passed, the time available until 30 September is considered inadequate for completing tax audits that involve detailed verification, scrutiny and reconciliation.

For Assessment Year 2026-27, tax audit reports are due on 30 September. Chartered accountants, tax consultants and taxpayers are under pressure due to GST and TDS work, difficulties with the income tax portal, recent festivals and the proposed nationwide bank strike from 28 to 30 September.

I urge Hon. Nirmala Sitharaman Ji to extend the deadline for submitting tax audit reports, along with the corresponding deadline for filing income tax returns in audit cases. This would provide much-needed relief to taxpayers and allow the work to be completed accurately.

TAX AUDIT DEADLINE EXTENSION — NOT JUST A PROFESSIONAL DEMAND, BUT A SOCIAL CAUSE

The demand to extend the Tax Audit due date to 31st October permanently is not merely about giving Chartered Accountants more time.

It is about creating a realistic compliance framework that protects the quality of audits, the well-being of professionals and the larger public interest.

THE PROFESSIONAL CAUSE:
A Tax Audit is not a mechanical exercise of filling forms.

It involves examination of books and records, verification of documents, reconciliations, analysis of tax provisions, identification of discrepancies, preparation of reports and professional review before the report is finally signed.

Trying to complete this entire process within an extremely compressed period can create unnecessary pressure and increase the risk of inadvertent errors, incomplete verification and compromised professional review.

Quality audit requires time. Professional judgement cannot be rushed.

THE HUMAN CAUSE:
Behind every Tax Audit is a professional and a team of people working long hours to meet the statutory deadline.

Late nights, extended working hours and continuous deadline pressure affect the health, family life and overall well-being of professionals and their teams.

Compliance should not come at the cost of professional well-being and sustainable working conditions.

THE SOCIAL & PUBLIC-INTEREST CAUSE:
The quality of a Tax Audit ultimately affects more than the Chartered Accountant.

It contributes to accurate financial reporting, correct tax compliance and a more reliable tax administration system.

A rushed audit may satisfy a date on the calendar, but a properly performed audit serves the larger objective of accuracy, transparency and compliance.

THE REAL OBJECTIVE:
This is not a demand for less compliance.

It is a demand for adequate time to achieve better compliance.

Adequate Time → Better Verification → Better Audit → Better Compliance

An extension to 31st October would provide a more practical and sustainable timeline for completing Tax Audits with the care and professional diligence they deserve.

EVERY DAY COUNTS.

Every day without a decision means less time for proper verification, review and quality.

🙏 EXTEND THE TAX AUDIT DUE DATE TO 31ST OCTOBER — PERMANENTLY.

NOT LESS COMPLIANCE.

NOT LESS ACCOUNTABILITY.
JUST MORE TIME FOR QUALITY.

📢 This is a professional cause.
This is a human cause.
This is a public-interest cause.

🚨Extend Tax Audit due date today!!

Work started at 8 AM on this Sunday morning!!
One of the toughest audit seasons in many years.

ITR due dates were staggered to 31st July/31st August, perhaps to ease pressure on the IT infrastructure without thinking the impact on Auditors/tax payers with an unreasonably short window for completing tax audits.

Please listen to stakeholders and rationalise the due dates permanently. There should be at least a two month gap between the ITR due date and the Tax Audit due date.

For this year, the immediate need is clear :-
Extend Tax Audit due date today.

[Ajay Gupta @ajayguptaca]

The @IncomeTaxIndia should release objective data on the current status of Tax audit work.

If professionals across the country have completed only around 50% of the work, that data itself would speak louder than any so-called representation or repeated BEGGING on social media.

The issue is not about asking for an extension as a matter of convenience. It is about recognising the delays caused by the department & providing adequate time to accommodate timely and accurate filing.

Let the data come out. Let the truth speak for itself. @nsitharaman

[CAclubindia @CAclubindia]

The demand is simple: Adequate time to complete tax audits properly.

🚨 CBDT, THE TIME TO ACT IS TODAY!

@IncomeTaxIndia @FinMinIndia @nsitharaman

If the Tax Audit due date is going to be extended, PLEASE ANNOUNCE IT TODAY.

An extension announced at the eleventh hour provides little practical relief. By then, CAs, their teams, taxpayers and businesses would already have spent sleepless nights rushing to meet the existing deadline.

🏦 Bank strike during crucial closing days
📊 Multiple statutory compliances running simultaneously
📑 AIS/26AS/GST & books reconciliations
💻 Peak-load technical challenges
⏳ Enormous pressure on professionals, staff & taxpayers

The profession does not need suspense. It needs clarity.

If genuine hardship deserves relief, that relief must come BEFORE the hardship is suffered — not after.

🙏 We urge CBDT & Ministry of Finance to announce the extension TODAY and extend the Tax Audit due date to 31.10.2026.

TIMELY EXTENSION = REAL RELIEF
DELAYED EXTENSION = DEFEATED PURPOSE

[CA Prakash Swami @capcswami]

Honestly, as a CA, I’m struggling to understand the reason for this rigid stand on the Tax Audit due date.

An extension won’t reduce tax collection.
It won’t hurt businesses.
It won’t weaken compliance.

So what exactly is the harm in giving professionals some breathing space?

Extension is not a concession. It is a practical solution to ensure quality compliance.

@FinMinIndia @IncomeTaxIndia please listen to the profession. 🙏
