New Delhi: The Income Tax Department will open 50-special counters at Vikas Bhawan (near ITO) for residents of North-East and North-West Delhi from July 28 to July 31 to file their tax returns. The last date for filing of income tax returns for the assessment year 2011-12 is July 31.
"The ITD, New Delhi, is setting up Special counters to avoid last minute rush," Chief Commissioner (IT) Digvijai Kumar told reporters here adding about one lakh tax payers are expected to benefit from the move.
About 90,000 taxpayers in 2010 had filed income and wealth tax returns at Vikas Bhawan.
He said the ITD has been encouraging e-filing of tax returns and last year about 92 lakh of about 3.5 crore taxpayers had availed the online facility.
Kumar said professionals like doctors, lawyers, charted accountants and architects can also file return at Vikas Bhawan.
He said that senior citizens and differently-abled persons will be attended on priority. Besides, a number of 'help desks' would also be set up to facilitate returns.
The special counters will remain open from 9.30 am to 6 pm on the first two days, and 9.30 am to 8 pm on July 30 and 31.
