MPTCA Requests Tax Audit Deadline Extension to Nov 30
The Maharashtra Professional Tax & Compliance Authority (MPTCA) has urged the government to extend both the tax audit report submission deadline and the audited income‑tax return filing date to 30 November. It argues that preparing an audit requires detailed review of books of account, vouchers, tax returns and related documents, making the current schedule unrealistic for many taxpayers.
MPTCA has formally asked tax authorities to move the audit due date and the audited ITR deadline to 30 November. Details are in the [official notice] (https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&url=https://www.jurishour.in/notification/mptca-tax-audit-due-date-itr-deadline/&ct=ga&cd=CAIyHGM2MDc2MTlkMzYyYjM5MDM6Y29tOmVuOklOOlI&usg=AOvVaw087nX2xpNy3eIpUQkl1Gmb).
- Preparation involves reviewing books of account, vouchers, tax returns, and other supporting documents.
- The extensive data verification makes the existing timeline hard to meet for many entities.
If approved, the extension would give businesses additional time to compile accurate audit reports and comply with filing requirements, reducing the risk of penalties and errors.
