Kya hua
CBDT ne AY 2026-27 ke audit-report deadline ko 21 Oct 2026 tak aage badha diya hai, jisse audited taxpayers ko 3 extra weeks mil gaye hain.
Mujhe kya farq padta hai
Section 271B penalty se bachne ke liye, taxpayers ko e-filing portal par CA dwara file kiye gaye Form 3CA/3CB-3CD ko accept karna hoga.
Yaad rakh
Portal par pending audit filing ko accept karein aur kisi bhi failed attempts ke proof sambhal kar rakhein.
21 Oct se pehle kya karein
Portal par CA-filed audit ko accept karein, correct form type match karein, aur kisi bhi failed submission attempts ka proof rakhein.
Aur context aur kis par asar
CBDT ne AY 2026-27 ke liye tax-audit report deadline ko 21 October 2026 tak aage badha diya hai, jisse audited taxpayers ko 3 extra weeks mil gaye hain. Agar aapke CA ne audit papers file kar diye hain, toh e-filing portal par log in karein aur nayi cutoff se pehle Pending Actions ke under Form 3CA/3CB-3CD entry ko accept karein.
Acceptance step miss karne ya late file karne se Section 271B (turnover ka 0.5%) ke under penalty lag sakti hai. Agar portal errors ki wajah se aapka submission block hota hai, toh screenshots aur helpdesk logs sambhal kar rakhein; yeh evidence Section 273B ke under reasonable-cause claim ko support kar sakta hai.
Quick checklist: confirm karein ki aap kaun se forms use kar rahe hain (3CA+3CD ya 3CB+3CD), ensure karein ki aapke CA ne koi corrections kiye hain, portal par Pending Actions > Worklist acceptance verify karein, aur kisi bhi failed attempts ke records rakhein. Agar kuch bhi unclear lage, toh abhi apne CA se contact karein.
