Many taxpayers as reported on social media, faced technical issues while filing their income tax return on Saturday, ahead of the July 31 deadline. With more people rushing to file their ITR as the deadline nears, and a significant increase in the number of tax filers expected, the possibility of the portal experiencing additional glitches can not be entirely ruled out. Going by the previous years experiences such glitches often result in delays or failures in ITR submission.
When taxpayers faced similar technical glitches last year, the Income Tax (I-T) Department extended the ITR filing deadline not once but twice, from July 31 to September 15 and then to September 16. Is it possible for them to do the same this year by pushing back the July 31 ITR filing deadline?
