"All paper returns or e-returns filed on or before August 4 will be considered as filed within the due date," CBDT said.
It said the decision was taken due to some technical snags in the e-filing computer system and inclement weather at various locations, which caused difficulties to some taxpayers.
An official said that some taxpayers complained of problems in uploading returns on the e-filing network, which was the result of very heavy traffic.
