The Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) on late Monday extended the deadline for the submission of tax returns to October 14.
The development comes after the tax authority ruled out any extension by the September 30 deadline.
Earlier, the FBR announced that there would be no extension for submitting income tax returns for the fiscal year 2024.
The announcement urged all taxpayers to file their income tax returns promptly to avoid penalties and fines.
Previously, sources indicated that a one-month extension for filing income tax returns might be possible due to system overload preventing citizens from filing returns.
So far, more than 3.5 million individuals have submitted their income tax returns. It is important to note that the FBR has set September 30 as the deadline for tax return submissions.
