• Good news and much relief for individuals, the government has decided to extend the deadline for belated income tax return (ITR) and revised tax return for FY 2018-19 from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020. The decision has come due to curfews and lock downs because of the outbreak of corona virus pandemic.
