Income Tax Department Issues 2020 Calendar - Know the Deadlines and Services

The income tax department has issued a new calendar for the year 2020 listing out all the essential tax-related deadlines. Designed as the "File-it-yourself" calendar to help taxpayers file their income tax returns easily, the e-calendar maps your ITR filing journey. "Here is a calendar with important dates for you so that you don't have to miss a thing. We hope that this will make your filing journey easier," the income tax department said in an email sent out to taxpayers.
