Filing of Return

[Swapneswar muduli]

Dear Sir,

From Apr-2016 onward we need to file ER-1 only no need to file ER-6, ER-4, ER-5 & ER-7 but for financial Year 2015-2016 our due date for ER-5 & ER-7 is 30th April 2016.

So my query is we need to file ER-5 & ER-7 on 30th Apr-2016 for the Year 2015-2016.

Regards.
