No Interfere by Hon'ble H.C in extension of due date

a) The petitioner claims to be entitled to extension of due date of filing income-tax return (‘ITR’) (i.e., September 30, 2015) due to the delay on the part of the respondents in prescribing the ITR forms.

b) It was contended that the said forms were prescribed only vide Notification dated 29th July, 2015 and were made available only with effect from August 7, 2015. The argument of the counsel for the petitioner was that since the Assessment Year 2015-2016 commenced on 1st April, 2015 and the due date for filing the return is 30th September, 2015, so 180 days are to be made available to the assessee to file the return.

The Delhi High Court held as under:

Compliance window under Black Money Act

The Hon'ble Finance Minister in his budget speech for 2015-16 had proposed introduction of Black Money Bill in the Parliament. The Bill was passed by the Parliament in its budget session. The Bill received the assent of the President on May 26, 2015 and it became the law. It is to be called as "The Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015" ("the Black Money Act"). It has been clarified by the Government that such Black Money Act would be applicable from July 1, 2015.

NO TDS on payments made to corporations whose income is exempt u/s-10(26BBB) of the Income Tax Act,1961

The CBDT has issued Circular No. 07 dated 23.04.2015 stating that the CBDT has decided that since corporations covered under Section 10(26BBB) satisfy the two conditions of Circular No. 4/2002 i.e. unconditional exemption of income under Section 10 and no statutory liability to file return of income under Section 139, therefore any corporation whose income is exempted under Section 10(26BBB) of the Act will also be entitled to the benefit of the said Circular. Hence there would be no requirement for tax deduction at source from the payments made to such corporations since their income is anyway exempted under the Act.
