However, there are a few technical and portal issues that are encountered when conducting e-filing work and chores.

The following are a few of the issues that require immediate attention or an extension of the return filing deadlines:

1. Issues with Forms 3CA, 3CB, and 3CD when filing the Tax Audit Report

20. Lot of Due Dates is falling on 31st December. ROC Annual Filing Due date is Due on 31st Dec 2021, GSTR 9 and GSTR9C Due date is 31st December, ITR Filing Due date for non Audit case is 31st December. Hence there is lot of burden on tax professionals as many due dates are falling on 31st December 2021

21. The newly implemented AIS/TIS, which was only a month ago has increased the Lot Burden of the Tax Professionals. Assessee needs more time in gathering more information and doing more reconciliation. Similarly, Tax professionals need more time to Validate information in order to ensure a smooth and error-free Return filing procedure.  This necessitates more time investment on the part of the assessees and tax professionals, slowing down the procedure.

22. There is lot of mismatch in newly implemented AIS/TIS, data. Many instances it has been found that AIS/TIS Data is not matching.

OTPs are still not available at the right time and are received after their expiry and sometimes, in the late hours; increasing the work pendencies.

Almost daily ITR schema are released IN MONTH OF FILING, software companies take further time for update. When Govt. site itself is not ready, why Punish Tax Payers with Late Fees

It is requested and prayed that the timelines be extended for Income Tax, ROC, and GST Annual returns due to the issues listed above, so that income tax returns are filed with all required tax compliances and reconciliations, and that income tax returns are processed without errors, saving taxpayers, professionals, and the administration time.
