ITR Filing deadline for FY 2021-22: Why #ExtendDueDateImmediately trends on Twitter However, many chartered accountants and tax experts are complaining about the issues on the new income tax portal. The login issues, and unable to access Form 26AS make the case for an extension of the due date
The government has made it clear that it has no plans to extend the deadline for filing an income tax return for individuals for FY 2021-22. Under the current income tax laws, the last date of filing ITR for individuals whose accounts are not required to be audited is July 31.Many chartered accountants and tax experts are raising demands for the extension of extending due date. According to them, they are facing issues on the new income tax filing portal due to which they are finding it difficult to file returns for their clients. However, the government believes that the new income tax portal is working fine and there should not be any issues in filing ITR which requires a tax return filing date extension.

— Income Tax India (@IncomeTaxIndia) 1659079442000If an individual misses the due date of filing an ITR, then he/she can file a belated ITR. The belated ITR is filed under section 139(4) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. An individual is liable to pay a late filing fee of up to Rs 5,000. This fee must be deposited before the filing of the belated ITR. If a belated ITR is filed, then an individual cannot carry forwards losses (except losses under house property).
