2022 (1) TMI 895 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURTExtension of time limit for filing returns and furnishing tax audit reports - PIL filed by the Tax Bar Association of Jodhpur pointing out various difficulties faced by the assessee on account of the official portal of the income tax department having various glitches - prayer made was to issue direction to the CBDT to extend such time limit up to 15.02.2022 in exercise of the power under Section 119 - HELD THAT:- Presumably, these extensions are granted because the Government of India had realized that on account of technical difficulties, several assesses may not have been in a position to make the compliances. There is nothing for us to presume that the administration is not cognizable of such defects and that proper steps for removing of such defects would be taken so that the extension of last date for compliances does not remain illusory but the assesses can meaningfully take advantage of such extension. The prayers made by the petitioners in this respect are rather wide and non specific. At this stage, we leave it to the administration to deal with these issues at its level. We are hopeful that proper resolution of the difficulties of assessees would be made at the level of the administration itself without the requirement of Court’s intervention. This petition is therefore disposed of at this stage with the above observations, leaving it open to the petitioners to raise these issues if in future the difficulties persist.
