New Delhi, Sept. 15 -- With hours remaining for the ITR Filing due date to be over, the Income Tax Department in the late evening on Sunday gave clarity on the extension of income tax filing deadline.

Several people on social media complained about the income tax portal to file ITR was down over Saturday and Sunday and demanded an extension to the 15 September due date.
