ITR 2021-22: Chorus for deadline extension grows on social media

As the deadline for filing ITR approaches, the demand for extending it has also grown

As the last date for filing your income tax return (ITR) comes close, netizens have now taken to Twitter to take matters into their own hands. In a report published on Livemint, the chorus to extend the deadline for filing income tax returns grows, with #Extend_Due_Date_Immediately trending on the micro-blogging platform.

The deadline to file ITR every year is usually set at July 31. The government of India, however, has often been lenient about the same and offered an extension till December. However, the Centre seems determined this year not to extend the deadline.
