Changes in Tax Audit Report appears to be an annual feature now. The painful part is, it is just 2 months before the Due Date !!
Government could have carried out well in advance as none of the provisions which are incorporated in new forms have changed after 1st April.
Why last minute changes?
The programmer and software developers will their own time to incorporate the same in their software.
Professionals will need time to understand and implement the mechanism of reporting.
Time to stop the last moment changes in the ITR & Other forms.
