SRINAGAR: In a move that could spell relief for the trade and business community hit hard by the ongoing unrest in the Valley, the Jammu and Kashmir Government today approved extension of the deadline of filing of tax returns to August 31, from the existing July 31.
“The initiative has been taken in view of the persistent demand of the business community as they are finding it difficult to do so due to breakdown of Internet services,” Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu said.
He said Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is keen that the relief in terms of extension of the tax-filing window must be provided to the trade and business community.
An official spokesperson of the Finance Department said the necessary Government order has been issued to this effect and is available on its website. (AGENCIES)
