Mumbai, December 31: Even as the last date for filing Income Tax returns for the year 2020-21 (assessment year 2021-22) is almost well past us and with only a few hours remaining, the new portal for filing the ITR returns hanged and was not without glitches, alleged several Twitter users and also shared images to prove their claim. However, the government made it clear that it would not be extending the deadline for filing returns, even as the matter was brought to the notice of Revenue Secretary Tarun Bajaj. "Income tax return filing is going on smoothly. By 3pm today, 5.62 crore returns have been filed in total. Today, more than 20 lakh returns were filed. This year 60 lakh more returns have been filed," said the revenue secretary when asked about the possibility of extending the deadline for filing returns.
