MAKE TAX AUDIT UPLOAD DUE DATE 31st OCTOBER - PERMANENTLY

Until AY 2025-26, CAs had a clear 60-day gap—from 1 August to 30 September—to complete Tax Audits.

For AY 2026-27, the non-audit business ITR due date was extended from 31 July to 31 August 2026, which helped ease portal load.

But what about the 60-day clear window for Tax Audit?

Tax Audit is not just uploading a report. It requires execution, checking, reconciliation, reporting, UDIN, uploading, and continuous interaction with clients for data, clarifications and corrections. Quality audit requires adequate time.

Like me , There are many CAs and their teams who have not taken a single Sunday off in the last 4 months, working continuously through the compliance season.

If professionals are expected to deliver quality, they also deserve a reasonable and structured timeline.

The solution is simple:- Make Tax Audit due date 31 October for every year with and merge it with Audit ITR due date, giving a clear 60-day gap from 1 September to 31 October.

Its hight time to Treat Chartered Accountants with the respect and reasonable time that the responsibility deserves.

Attaching a copy of the letter by then ICAI President Nanda Sir to the CBDT Chairman from the previous year in Sep-2025.

Please refer to page 2 of the letter, which explains that the law requires a "two-month" gap between the ITR filing date for Non-Corporate and the Tax Audit Report date. ICAI therefore requested an extension, which was later granted, and the date was extended.

This year, a new date of 31-Aug was introduced; therefore, the mandatory gap of two months has been reduced to one month. This was never the expectation of the change. The result is that many members are feeling overburdened and under pressure.

If last year's view of ICAI is correct, then this year also ICAI should come forward and request an extension.

Based on the calls and messages received, I feel the common member is under pressure and is avoiding writing anything publicly, though vocal in person.

ICAI and the Council should open a dialogue and listen to members. After hearing members’ views, they should make the final decision.

रही बात मेरी, अगर मेरे एक भी member को stress feel हो रहा है और extension की ज़रूरत है, तो मैं अपने member के साथ खड़ा हूँ !! हालाँकि मुझे अपने लिए कोई extension नहीं चाहिए, क्योंकि मैं Income Tax और Compliance practice में नहीं हूं। पर अगर कोई member लड़ रहा है , तो मुझे अपने साथ ही समझे !!

और ये आखरी शायरी उनके लिए जो इस लड़ाई को कमज़ोर करने की कोशिश में लगे हुए हैं :

"तुम्हारी सोच के सांचे में ढल नहीं सकता,
ज़बान काट लो, लहजा बदल नहीं सकता।
मुझे भी मोम का पुतला समझ रहे हो क्या,
तुम्हारी लौ से ये लोहा पिघल नहीं सकता!"

If you need an extension of the Tax Audit Date, please continue to demand it and also keep encouraging the relevant business and professional associations to send demand letters in this regard.
If this is not done, the message that will go out is that you don't need it at all.

CAAS moves Gujarat HC 🚨 Not just for extensions, but for accountability in Income Tax Portal failures. #TaxJustice #GlitchFreeCompliance

(1/9)

[CA Himank Singla @CAHimankSingla]

Non-availability of utilities on time & failure to provide a smooth functioning portal is not just inefficiency but it is unconstitutional too.

🔹 Violates Article 19(1)(g) – Right to practice any profession, trade or business.
🔹 Violates Article 301 – Freedom of trade, commerce & intercourse.

Professionals & taxpayers are being denied their constitutional rights.
