Respected Sir,

We take this opportunity to bring to your kind notice that ours is an Apex Body of Accounts Professionals from all over Punjab. All locally registered Associations from Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patiala, Pathankot, Rajpura, Hoshiarpur, Mansa, and Moga, Ferozepur, Nawanshahr, Nakodar, Phagwara, Muktsar etc. have their representation in the Punjab level body, having its registered office at Jalandhar. As is well known, we, being the backbone of the nation’s economy, act as a bridge between taxpayers and the Government in order to increase government revenue.

First of all, we heartily thank you for the updation of the Income-tax portal. No doubt, online ITRs are being submitted, filed, and processed with high speed, as compared to previous years, but still, most of our members complain of various glitches, error,s and other issues causing substantial problems in filing ITRs on behalf of their clients (small taxpayers). And being the last date of filing ITR for AY 2022-23, they are facing acute mental pressure.

The Members of the Punjab Accountants Association humbly request your goodself to extend the date of filing Non-Audit Income Tax Returns from 31st July 2022 to 31st Aug 2022.
