I-T dept nudges 12,000 tax professionals to file AY 26-27 audit reports by deadline
NEW DELHI: (Oct 13) The Income Tax Department has sent SMSes and emails to about 12,000 tax professionals, reminding them to file audit reports on time for the 2026-27 assessment year by the enhanced weeklong deadline, official sources said on Tuesday.
The outreach was undertaken after the department found that a "significant" number of tax audit reports were yet to be filed despite an extension from September 30 to October 21.
The communication has been sent to select professionals who have filed fewer than 50 per cent of the tax audit reports (Form 3CD) for AY 2026-27, compared to the audit reports they filed in the previous financial year, sources told PTI.
