New Delhi, Jul 18: Ruling out extension of July 31 deadline for filing Income Tax returns, IT authorities on Monday said special counters would be opened from July 28 onwards in major cities to meet the eleventh hour rush.
Central Board of Direct Taxes spokesman A K Sinha told reporters that there would be an extension of last date. But special arrangements would be made in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata for filing of tax returns.
Though July 29 and July 30 being Saturday and Sunday, the special counters would function for the convenience of the public for filing income tax returns, he said appealing to tax payers file returns from Tuesday onwards to avoid last minute rush.
