BSNLEU writes to the Sr.GM(Taxation), demanding to extend the last day for submitting option for choosing the tax regime..

The Central Government has announced certain concessions for the payment of Income Tax. However, for availing this, the tax payer has to forego certain exemptions already being enjoyed by them. Hence the Corporate Office has called in the employees to opt their tax regime. The Corporate Office has issued this letter on 20-04-2020 and has directed the employees to submit their options by 28-04-2020. This time limit is very short, especially when the lockdown has been imposed. Hence, BSNLEU has written to the Sr. GM (Taxation) demanding to extend the last date for submitting the options, at least by one month.
