TN Floods - Govt Issues Notifications extending the date for payment of Excise Duty and Service Tax - Puducherry truly forgotten
THE Government has issued the necessary notifications for extending the dates of payment of excise duty and Service Tax for November 2015 in the State of Tamil Nadu till 20.12.2015.
We had reminded the Government that neighbouring Puducherry was also affected by the floods, but as of now it has fallen on deaf ears.
The Board has also acquired the power to extend the due date for returns.
Incidentally, the Board had come out with a Press Release on the 5th December also announcing that the date of filing of the Central Excise return for the month of November 2015 is being extended to the 31st of December 2015. Now that the Board has given itself the power, the notification extending the date of filing would in all probability be issued today.
