Date Extension for manual filing of Form 15CA-CB
Form No. 15CA is required to be furnished online on Income Tax Portal in respect of any foreign remittance. As per the requirement of Income Tax Act, 1961, taxpayers presently upload the Form 15CA, along with C.A. certificate in Form 15CB (wherever applicable) on the e-filing portal “www.incometax.gov.in”, before submitting the copy to the authorized dealer for any foreign remittance.
However, as it is evident that the newly launched income tax portal is facing technical glitches since its launch and the online functionality for Form 15CA/15CB is not working properly, the CBDT has earlier decided that the taxpayers could submit Form 15CA/15CB in manual format to the authorized dealer till 15th July, 2021. Now, considering the persistent problems in the portal, CBDT has now decided to extend the aforesaid date to 15th August, 2021. In view thereof, taxpayers can now submit the Form 15CA/15CB in manual formats to the authorized dealers till 15th August, 2021. It is further informed that a facility will be provided on the new e-filing portal to upload these forms at a later date for the purpose of generation of the Document Identification Number.
A Press Release to this effect has been issued by CBDT on 20th July, 2021.
