As I T R contain the question called " Whether assessee liable for Tax audit" while filing the ITR . When assessee liable to file the return under 44AB has to tick "Yes" and then There will be the following questions arises i.e.,
i) Auditor name ii) Membershi No. iii) Date of Audit report etc.,
When CBDT issued the circular mentioning extension of due date for filing the Audit report which is part of ITR whether it can be treated that filing of ITR deemed to be extended ?

No. Income Tax return filing date remains same i.e., 30.09.2014. According to information received from some fellow professional the Income Tax Return can be filed without mentioning the Date of Audit report. The return is being accepted even without the date of Tax Audit report.

It will not be treated as defective return since the CBDT has extended the date of obtaining and filing Tax Audit Report. So in this case Tax Audit Report can be filed after Income Tax Return.

Know this. Thats the reason why there is so much of confusion. But the CBDT extended time of only Tax Audit Report not Income tax Return otherwise the same would have been clarified by now.
Earlier the return would not validate without the date of tax Audit report if the assessee liable to file return under 44AB was selected as yes. But now the same is validated in new ITR according to information received.
