Press Release Issued.
@abhijeet_dipke If democracy means accountability, the same standard should apply everywhere. Before demanding resignations and protests, why ignore alleged paper-leak controversies in Punjab? Let the facts and official records speak. Accountability must be consistent.
“The deadline that was broken before it began”
Every year the same story: Tax Audit deadline extension demanded, government delays, then grants it at the last minute. This isn't a one-off ask, it's a structural problem. Here's why it happens EVERY year.
Income-tax utilities and audit forms are frequently notified or revised late, sometimes mid-season. Audits can't be finalized against forms that are still changing, every delay in utility release shrinks the real working window, regardless of how efficiently the work is done.
The same period also carries GST annual returns and TDS/TCS filings. These aren't competing tasks piled on one profession, they're statutory deadlines that were independently set without accounting for their overlap with the audit timeline.
The real fix isn't asking anyone to do more faster, it's fixing the sequencing at the source: move upstream deadlines (ITR filing, utility release) earlier, or formally recognize 31 October as the realistic audit date going forward.
@nsitharaman@FinMinIndia, Section 119 exists precisely for cases like this. Extend the deadline now, and fix the sequencing for good.

@bsnl_care Dear BSNLCare, Internet is still not working since 23 Jul midnight. Complaint G242182296381 is still pending. Kindly resolve it urgently and share the expected restoration time. @BSNL_GJ@BSNLCorporate
I have received many representations from members of @theicai , Advocates, tax practitioners etc for extension of time for filing requisite compliance beyond 30 September . Requesting @nsitharaman@IncomeTaxIndia to kindly consider it favourably @FinMinIndia#TaxAuditExtension #TaxAuditDueDate #incometaxduedate
Retweet for Support #ExtendTaxAuditDueDate
1) 2 High Court के Date Extend करने का आदेश
2) 20 से अधिक अलग अलग हाई कोर्ट में याचिका
3) ICAI का Request
4) सभी बिज़नेस एसोसिएशन की Request
5) Advocate/ CA Association की Request
6) Twitter पर 10 दिन से हजारों ट्वीट
इतना सब होने के बाद भी अभी तक ना तो इन्होंने Date Extend किया है और ना ही कोई जवाब दिया है किसी को सही से डिपार्टमेंट ने
इसी को शास्त्रों में बदमाशी और घमंड कहा जाता है
