Dear Mr. Krishna Kumar,
I think you are looking for this, but I think it will not solve your purpose -> https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/archive/CBDTPressRelease_23122008.pdf
Further below is just for general information.
Where the last day for filing return of income/loss is a day on which the office is closed, the assessee can file the return on the next day afterwards on which the office is open and, in such cases, the return will be considered to have been filed within the specified time limit. - Circular : No. 639, dated 13-11-1992.
Thanks
