THE CBDT HAS GRANTED MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THE ELECTRONIC FILING OF FORMS 15CA/15CB UNDER THE INCOME-TAX ACT
Due to issues experienced by taxpayers in electronically submitting Income Tax Forms 15CA/15CB on the portal www.incometax.gov.in, the deadline has been extended to July 15, 2021. The Income Tax Act of 1961 mandates that Form 15CA/15CB be submitted electronically. Before sending the copy to the authorized dealer for any international transfer, taxpayers must first upload the Form 15CA, along with the Chartered Accountant Certificate in Form 15CB, if applicable, to the e-filing platform. The CBDT had already established that taxpayers might submit Forms 15CA/15CB to an approved dealer in manual format until June 30, 2021.
It has now been decided to push back the deadline to July 15, 2021. As a result, taxpayers can now submit the aforementioned Forms to authorized dealers in manual format until July 15, 2021. Authorized sellers are encouraged to accept such Forms for foreign remittances till July 15, 2021. On the new e-filing platform, there will be an option to upload these forms at a later time for the purpose of generating the Document Identification Number.
