Silence is better than Nonsense🤐

#Extend_Due_Date_Immediately

Story of every compliance season 👇

📅 1st week of September
“Please share all documents strictly on Google Drive.”

Why Drive? Why not Whatsapp
Because we need proper access, tracking and organised documentation throughout the process ,acess to staff also .

Client: “Yes, will do.”

📅 3rd week
Data finally arrives.

But… only half-baked. 🤦‍♂️

We review it, prepare the suspense/query list and send it back.

“Please resolve these queries within 3 days so we can proceed smoothly.”

Silence.

📅 Near the deadline

A call comes:

“Can we solve the queries on call?”

Me: “I don’t have time to sit on a call and note everything. Please send the complete details in Excel. I’ll review them systematically.”

Then comes the surprise:

“Some bank statements are still pending.”

And then…

“Why are you asking this at the last moment?” 🤦‍♂️

Seriously?

We asked for the documents in the first week of September.

We planned our work accordingly.

The delay wasn't created by the professional.
The delay happened because the required information wasn't provided on time.

And when the deadline approaches, suddenly the professional becomes responsible for the delay.

Meanwhile, professionals are sacrificing Sundays, late nights and personal time just to somehow complete other people's compliance work within the deadline.

At the last moment, we can't even say:

“Please take your work somewhere else.”

Because the responsibility is already with us and the deadline is standing over our heads.

Maybe compliance deadlines need to consider the actual time required to collect, verify, reconcile and review data—not just the date by which the return must be filed.

Professional cannot manufacture missing documents.

एक सवाल… क्या हम सिर्फ Deadline पूरी करना चाहते हैं?

@IncomeTaxIndia @FinMinIndia @PMOIndia @theicai @nsitharaman @PiyushGoyal

30 September 2026 — Tax Audit की निर्धारित अंतिम तिथि।

आज देशभर में Chartered Accountants, Tax Consultants, taxpayers और business community के बीच एक महत्वपूर्ण चर्चा चल रही है—क्या वर्तमान परिस्थितियों में Tax Audit के लिए पर्याप्त practical time उपलब्ध है?

लेकिन असली सवाल इससे बड़ा है।

क्या Tax Audit केवल एक Form भरकर upload करने का काम है?

नहीं।

Books की review, GST reconciliation, TDS/26AS/AIS/TIS matching, bank records, statutory compliances, supporting documents, explanations, discrepancies और Form 3CD की reporting—इन सभी को professionally examine करना पड़ता है।

और यह सब समय मांगता है।

खासकर Tier-2 और Tier-3 cities की ground reality को समझना होगा।

हर business के पास dedicated accounts department नहीं है।

हर CA firm में अलग GST department, Income Tax department और Audit department नहीं है।

छोटी firms और consultants अक्सर अपने clients के पूरे compliance ecosystem को संभालते हैं।

यह किसी की शिकायत नहीं है।
यह ground reality है।

हम काम से बचना नहीं चाहते।

हम compliance से बचना नहीं चाहते।

हम Audit से पीछे हटना नहीं चाहते।

हम सिर्फ इतना चाहते हैं कि—

काम हो तो Quality के साथ हो।

क्योंकि अच्छी quality का audit केवल client के लिए नहीं, Government और Tax Administration के लिए भी beneficial है।

यदि बार-बार extension की आवश्यकता महसूस होती है, तो शायद केवल extension पर चर्चा करने के बजाय यह भी विचार होना चाहिए कि—

आखिर हर वर्ष ऐसी परिस्थिति क्यों बनती है?

क्या compliance calendar को बेहतर तरीके से plan किया जा सकता है?

क्या information availability और reporting deadlines को synchronize किया जा सकता है?

क्या Tier-2 और Tier-3 cities की practical difficulties को policy-making में पर्याप्त consideration मिल रहा है?

हमारी विनम्र अपील

वर्तमान परिस्थितियों और व्यापक representations को ध्यान में रखते हुए Tax Audit due date पर सकारात्मक एवं व्यावहारिक विचार किया जाए।

और भविष्य के लिए ऐसा compliance calendar बनाया जाए जिसमें professionals को हर वर्ष extension की मांग करने की आवश्यकता ही कम से कम पड़े।

हम deadline से भागना नहीं चाहते।
हम quality से समझौता नहीं करना चाहते।

Quality Audit = Better Compliance = Better Tax Administration

Every CA • Tax Practitioner • Professional
PLEASE POST & REPOST TODAY.

We urge the authorities to listen to stakeholders and rationalise the tax compliance due dates permanently.

There should be at least a two-month gap between the ITR filing due date and the Tax Audit due date to ensure quality compliance rather than last-minute pressure.

Tax professionals are working late nights and even Sundays to meet deadlines.

We are professionals, but we are human too. We have families and responsibilities.

A sustainable compliance framework benefits everyone.

30 September 2026 | Tax Audit

एक विनम्र professional appeal:
@FinMinIndia @PMOIndia @IncomeTaxIndia @theicai

क्या Tax Audit का उद्देश्य केवल deadline तक report upload करना है?

या फिर proper verification + reconciliation + professional judgment + quality reporting भी उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण है?

Audit “complete” करना और Audit “quality के साथ” complete करना—दो अलग बातें हैं।

India’s compliance ecosystem is not uniform.

A large corporate may have separate GST, Income Tax, Finance & Audit teams.

But many SMEs/MSMEs in Tier-2 & Tier-3 cities depend on outsourced/part-time accounting and smaller professional firms handling multiple compliances.

Policy timelines should also consider ground realities.

We are not asking to avoid compliance.
We are not asking to avoid audit.

We are asking for adequate practical time to perform professional responsibilities with the quality expected from a statutory audit process.

Better audit quality ultimately means better information and better tax administration.

If extension requests arise repeatedly, perhaps the discussion should not stop at:

“Why is extension being requested?”

We should also ask:

“Why does the system repeatedly reach this point?”

Can the compliance calendar be better synchronized?
Can information availability and reporting timelines be better aligned?

A humble request to the concerned authorities:

Please consider the practical difficulties being represented by professionals and taxpayers and take an objective view of the present Tax Audit timeline.

This is not Government vs CA.
This is not Taxpayer vs Government.

All stakeholders are part of the same compliance ecosystem.

Better Compliance → Better Reporting → Better Tax Administration → Better Revenue Assurance

We are not asking to avoid work or compliance.

We want to work.
We want to comply.
We want to deliver quality.

We are asking for an environment where professional responsibilities can be discharged with the quality, verification and professional judgment they deserve.

@HDFCBank_Cares @HDFC_Bank Thanks @HDFCBank_Cares, Ref 27762025 noted. It's been 6 weeks already. We request an immediate resolution: written reason for closure, re-processing under the income model without fresh documents or fees, and a firm decision date. Waiting for your prompt action.

[Shripal Luniya (SP) @ca_luniya]

@HDFCBank_Cares @HDFC_Bank Home loan customer since 2023. Applied for ₹40L top-up on 11 Aug, paid ₹5,900 fee, all docs given & PV done. After 6 weeks of piecemeal doc requests, file closed today as bank logged it under wrong model. Now told to re-login. Pls resolve.
