The Central Board of Direct Taxes has Extended the Last Date

September 27, 2o14, New Delhi: CBDT, the Central Board of Direct taxes has extended the last date for filing Income Tax returns to November 30 from the previously stated September 30 in certain cases.

This relief is granted to people who are required to file their income tax return by September 30 and also have to get their accounts subjected to a tax audit.

This decision from CBDT is in sync with its August 20 move to extend the September 30 due date to November 30.

Although the tax audit report furnishing date is extended, there is no word on extending the return fillings date. This has caused a few practical difficulties for the assessees.

The credit for this decision goes to Gujrat High Court. However, CBDT has clarified that there will be no further extension of the due date for the purpose of charging od interest under Section 224A of the Income Tax for late filling of income tax returns.

For the non-tax audit assessees, the last date fot filling of income tax remains the same i.e. September 30.

Tips to Crack NDA Exam and Last Minute Preparation

NDA exam is on September 28, 2014. With less than a day remaining here are some things that one must keep in mind while doings revisions and at the time of exam.

Revising your formulae: With less than two days remaining there isn’t any time left for working on new concepts. The best that one can do is revise what has already been covered and done. Mathematical formulae are one such thing. You will get many questions in exam that require nothing more than correct formula to be applied to find the solution. The key is to remember the formula that is required and a lot of students get confused because there is so much to learn. A quick formulas revision will ensure that no marks get lost on such simple questions. Prepare a list or use the one you have already prepared and revise the formula before you head on to take the exam.

Brushing up your current affairs: as NDA covers a big portion of GK and Current Affairs, it is of prime importance that you revise whatever that you have learned previously in GK and Current Affairs. A quick revision of all that you have learned in GK will ensure that you remember most of the question if they happen to come in the exam.

Do’s and Don’ts for NDA Exam

1.      Check your admit card and stationery before heading on for the exam

2.      Don’t forget to take a quick glance at your formulas list and things to remember

3.      When sitting for the exam, check around you and inside your desk cabin

4.      Keep a watch with you to keep a tab on time

5.      Divide your time into sections and plan this before sitting for the exam so that you may not waste more than the required time on one section and loose marks in the other.
