The All India Federation of Tax Practitioners has urged the Finance Minister to extend the due date for filing of Income Tax returns (I-T) for 2013-14 to August 31 from July 31.

The Federation in a statement said the generation of PIN (on the mobile number and email ID), according to the newly prescribed system, was proving time consuming.

The organisation also requested the Ministry to remove the limit of generation of 10 PINs by the tax consultants, who normally handles at least 300 clients.

PIN generation has been made necessary this year for accessing Form 26AS as well as for e-filing of returns.
