DDT 2740 – 08 12 2015 - Puducherry Forgotten by CBEC and CBDT?:
CBDT and CBEC have extended the due dates for payment of taxes and filing returns in Tamil Nadu due to the unprecedented floods, but in their anxiety, both the Boards have forgotten the Union Territory of Puducherry, which fzaced an identical calamity.
DDT hopes the Boards will extend the same concessions to the taxpayers in Puducherry, as was done for those in Tamil Nadu.
DDT 2742 – 10 12 2015 - 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.
DDT 2746 – 16 12 2015 - Income Tax - Last Date for Payment of Advance Tax extended in TN and Puducherry : CBDT has extended the last date for payment of December instalment of advance tax for FY 2015-16 from 15th December, 2015 to 31st December, 2015 in case of all the assessees, corporate and other than corporate in the State of Tamil Nadu and Union territory of Puducherry.
Will CBEC remember Puducherry?
Now CBEC has included Puducherry, except of course Yanam and Mahe. Yanam and Mahe are two thrown out parts of the Union Territory of Puducherry. Yanam is almost a part of the State of Andhra Pradesh near the Godavari districts and falls under the jurisdiction of Visakhapatnam Central Excise Commissionerate. Mahe is near the Kannur District of Kerala and falls under the Calicut Central Excise Commissionerate. These two places were not affected by the floods and so do not get the extension for duty payment/return filing.
