New Delhi, July 20 (TIWN) The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has granted further relaxation in the electronic filing of forms 15CA and 15CB, a Finance Ministry statement said on Tuesday.

Taxpayers can now file Form 15 CA and Form 15 CB manually till August 15, the Ministry of Finance said. The decision was taken in view of rampant glitches on the new income tax filing online portal. 

"As per the Income-tax Act, 1961, there is a requirement to furnish Form 15CA/15CB electronically. Presently, taxpayers upload the Form 15CA, along with the Chartered Accountant Certificate in Form 15CB, wherever applicable, on the e-filing portal, before submitting the copy to the authorized dealer for any foreign remittance," the ministry said on Monday.
