Further, issues like non-availability of Form No. 3CEB and difficulties in filing forms like 10C and 10B are still continuing. Further, considering the current situation of lockdowns and extremely fast spread of Omicron/COVID19 and consistent technical glitches being faced in the operation of the new portal, compliance is meeting with hinderances.  

Therefore, the ICAI has requested that the penalty and other consequences should be waived off for filing tax audit reports and other reports/certificates for AY 2021-22 till 31st March, 2022.
