Income Tax - Due Date for Payment of Advance Tax Should be Extended in TN
TODAY is the last date for payment of December instalment of advance tax for the Financial Year 2016-17. Life is totally disrupted in Tamil Nadu due to the cyclone. Payment of tax would be very difficult as there is no power and internet in many areas. The CBDT should immediately issue a notification extending this date to at least 31st December.
Incidentally, Tamil Nadu faced a similar problem last year too and the date was extended to 31st December 2015.
