The government has extended the last date for filing of income tax returns to October 3 instead of September 30, which was a bank holiday.
The extension would be applicable to individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) and other non-corporate assessees, which are not required to be audited as per the Income Tax Act, an official release said in New Delhi on Wednesday.
Earlier, the last date for filing of I-T returns was extended from July 31 to September 30.
