CBDT extends the due date for filing of TDS statement in Form 24Q

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had earlier notified amended Form 24Q for filing TDS statement by deductors of tax vide Notification No. 36/2019 dated 12th April 2019. Subsequently, the File Validation Utility (FVU) for online filing of Form 24Q was updated by NSDL on the 21st of May, 2019.
With a view to redressing the genuine hardship of deductors in the timely filing of the TDS statement in Form 24Q on account of the revision of its format and consequent updating of the File Validation Utility for its online filing, CBDT has ordered the following:

1. Extended the due date of filing of TDS statement in Form 24Q for the financial year 2018-19 from the 31st of May, 2019 to the 30th of June, 2019 and
2. Extended the due date for the issue of the TDS certificate in Form 16 for the financial year 2018-19 from the 15th of June, 2019 to the 10th of July, 2019.

Effect of This :
As we know the last date to file an income tax return is 31st July 2019 but due to the above extension TDS certificate will be received by the salaried employee after 10th July and Tax Consultants and Chartered Accountants have to file IT return within 20 Days. So most Probably IT return filing date will also extend. let's cross our fingers.
