The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has ruled that the extension of the income tax return (ITR) due date for cases requiring tax audit cannot be applied to assesses who are liable for audit under any other Act.

According to a judgment delivered by the Karnataka High Court in the case of Subex Technologies Limited vs. DCIT, Bangalore, it was stipulated that if payees were not identified and year-end provisions were reversed in the following year, there would be no withholding liability for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS).
