PMGKY Scheme: Income Tax Offices to remain open till 31 March Midnight

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on Thursday issued an order that all designated offices of the Income Tax department which can accept declarations under the black money window of PMGKY will remain open till midnight of March 31. The scheme was introduced by the Central Government with a view to tackle black money post demonetization.

“The last date for making declaration under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, 2016 is March, 31 2017.

“Therefore, in order to facilitate the filing of declarations even after the office hours on the last date, the CBDT, hereby directs that the designated offices for receiving the declarations under PMGKY shall remain open till the midnight of March 31, 2017 in all jurisdictions,” the CBDT order said.
