2015 (10) TMI 260 - HC - Income TaxExtension of due date of filing of returns - Held that:- It is to be noted that a representation was made to the Government of India for extension of date, which has been rejected vide communication dated 9th September, 2015 (Annexure-1). The reason for rejection is that income tax return forms were notified on 29.7.2015 and the same were made available on 7th August, 2015 and therefore, there was enough time for compliance. It is also taken into consideration that changes in the forms were not extensive as compared to the earlier years. Not oniy this, the tax-payers entering into either international transactions or specified domestic transactions have been permitted to file returns by 30th November, 2015. Having regard to the reasons given by the Government of India for not extending the date of filing returns, we find no merit in the petition. Even otherwise, we are of the view that the Court should not interfere in such policy decision of the Government.It is to be noted that Delhi High Court in AVINASH GUPTA Versus UNION OF INDIA & ORS [2015 (9) TMI 1123 - DELHI HIGH COURT] has also dismissed W.P.seeking the same relief for extension of time.
