<h1>Deadline extensions for tax compliance ease filing and payment obligations to relieve pandemic-related procedural burdens.</h1> Extension of multiple tax compliance deadlines has been granted by the Central Board of Direct Taxes as an administrative relaxation under section 119 of the Income-tax Act. The relief permits deferred filing of appeals to the Commissioner (Appeals), objections to the Dispute Resolution Panel, returns in response to reassessment notices, and allows belated and revised returns for the relevant assessment year to be filed within the extended period. The relaxation also postpones payment and deposit of specified withheld taxes with corresponding challan-cum-statement filing and submission of Form No. 61.
