On Wednesday, the Finance Ministry extended until November the deadline for businesses to submit income tax returns (ITRs) for the assessment year 2022–23. For businesses that must have their accounts audited, the deadline for filing ITRs was earlier on October 31. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) announced in the notification that the time for submitting audit reports had been extended last month. As a result, the ITR filing date has also been extended.
