CBDT allows submission of 15CA & 15CB in manual format till 30th June

CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) has allowed submission of the forms 15CA & 15CB in manual format to the (AD) authorised dealers till 30th June, 2021. This move comes after the taxpayers had reported difficulties in online form filling on the new e-filing portal.

Authorized dealers (AD) have been asked to accept forms 15CA & 15CB in manual format till 30th June, 2021 for the purpose of foreign remittances. However, there will not be any change in the reporting system of the Authorized dealers to the Reserve Bank of India and other relevant agencies.

The new e-Filing portal (ITR e-filing 2.0) has come into force from 7th June, 2021. There have been many changes in the layout so to make things smooth, CBDT has allowed submission of the forms 15CA & 15CB in manual format.

At present, the taxpayers upload the form 15CA along with the Chartered Accountant Certificate in form 15CB, wherever applicable, on the e-filing portal, before submitting the copy to the authorized dealer for any foreign remittance.

Tweet from the official tweeter handle of the Income Tax India:

For the purpose of generation of the Document Identification Number, A facility will be provided on the new e-filing portal to upload these forms at a later date.

Form 15CA is a declaration made by the person remitting the money wherein he states that he has deducted the tax from any payments so made to the non-resident.

Form 15CB, however, is not a declaration, but a certificate issued by a Chartered Accountant ensuring that the provisions of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement and the Income Tax Act have been complied with in respect of tax deductions while making the payments.
