The Income Tax Department lays down the due date for each taxpayer for filing returns, paying taxes, furnishing certificates and so on. A failure, default or delay in doing so results in payment of late fees and penalties. Hence, you must know the complete Income Tax calendar that reflects the due date in detail. This way you can plan your task ahead and adhere to the due dates. However, these due dates are sometimes extended for the benefit of taxpayers. Hence, the Income Tax calendar may undergo changes. The Income Tax Department will always issue circular notices in this regard.
