Taxpayers criticised Income Tax Department over just one day's extension for filing income tax returns (ITRs). The department announced the extension at 11:48pm on September 15, 12 minutes before the deadline. "Kya mazaak laga rakha hai? (What a joke?)...[This] is biggest insult to taxpayers!" an X user said. "As if we're labourers who don't have right to sleep," said another.
