The COVID19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in economic activities worldwide. Its effects have also seeped into the professional lives of people, marring their working capacity. With the country possibly glaring at a second wave of coronavirus infections, it is safe to say that it will take some time to go back to normal. Keeping the changing situation in mind, the Central government has revised the deadlines for various tax compliances over time. While adhering to deadlines might be slightly difficult during the pandemic, non- compliance with GST and income tax return rules may attract severe penalties.
