We are pleased to share our thoughts on the recent CBDT order dated 13 March 2024, wherein blanket approval has been granted to successor companies to furnish the return of income with modified particulars for the relevant assessment year(s) in accordance with and limited to the order of business reorganization (amalgamation or demerger or merger) sanctioned by the competent authority by using functionality on e-filing portal. Such approval has been granted where orders of the competent authority has been issued after 01 June 2016 but prior to 01 April 2022.

The move is expected to give significant relief to successor companies that have undergone business reorganisation or have been acquired under the Companies Act, 2013 and/ or under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. It would be advisable for the taxpayers to avail of this short window provided by the CBDT order to file modified return rather than leaving the same to uncertainty after the closure of the timelines.

Considering the stringent timelines involved, entities having undergone business reorganisations wherein approvals from the competent authority have been received between 01 June 2016 to 01 April 2022, are required to furnish applications along with details prescribed in the proforma on or before 30 April 2024.

We trust that you will find the same useful.
