Shailesh Kumar, Partner, Nangia & Co LLP, said, "The press release provides the much needed tax relief to taxpayers, who have suffered from COVID and received monetary help from their employer, friends and extended families, either for treatment of COVID or on account of death of a family member from COVID.  Though the relief is granted retrospectively from FY 2019-20 onwards, since the due date for filing ITR for FY 2019-20 has already expired, it would be important to see, whether the Government revives the time limit for filing ITR for FY 2019-20."

"The extension of various due dates, be it for PAN-AADHAAR linking, for payment of tax/ penalty under Vivaad se Vishwas scheme, completion of assessment proceedings, completion of penalty proceedings, registration of charitable trusts and institutions for income tax exemption, etc. will provide additional time, both to taxpayers as well as tax authorities for meeting the timeline."

On the same side, Amit Maheshwari, Managing Partner, AKM Global, said, "This is a welcome and much needed relief brought in by the CBDT. The taxpayers genuinely faced several difficulties whenever they were hospitalised or otherwise subject to rigorous medication. COVID treatment has also turned out to be costly for quite a lot of people. The exemption for amount received for medical treatment will provide some respite and we hope that many taxpayers would get benefitted by this. The exemption of ex-gratia amount received on death is also a good step and will provide some respite to the effected families."
