Due-Date of Filing of TDS/TCS Statements for FY 2012-13 (2nd to 4th
Quarter) and FY 2013-14 (1st to 3rd Quarter) Extended upto 31.03.2014 in
the Case of Government Deductors
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had received several petitions
from various deductors requesting waiver of fee levied u/s 234E of the
Income-tax Act for delay in filing of TDS/TCS statements. It was stated
that the delay was because of certain difficulties being faced by the
Government deductors for reasons beyond their control.
On a consideration of the difficulties being cited by the deductors, the
CBDT has decided, as a one-time exception, to ex-post facto extend the
due date of filing of TDS/TCS statements for FY 2012-13 (2nd to 4th
Quarter) and FY 2013-14 (1st to 3rd Quarter) to 31.03.2014 in the case
of Government deductors. This will have an effect of automatic
waiver of the fee u/s 234E so levied. However, any fee already paid by a
Government deductor shall not be refunded.
