Government extends certain deadlines to make compliance easier

After considering representations from various stakeholders, the Central Government has agreed to extend deadlines for compliance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”), in the following situations as follows:

The deadline for notifying the Income Tax Department of an Aadhaar number for the purpose of linking a PAN to an Aadhaar has been extended from 30 September 2021 to 31 March 2022.

Penalty procedures under the Act now have a deadline of 31 March 2022 instead of 30 September 2021.

As a result, until March 31, 2022, the Adjudicating Authority can issue notice and pass an order under the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988.
